Depends who's making it! The kitchen manager at work occasionally brings in a jelly slice and it's just magnificent. I don't know what she does but it's divine. No lamingtons have ever topped the size and freshness of the ones I used to get in primary school on their annual fundraising lamington drive. I adore hedgehog, but there are too many dry lacklustre examples out there, and I've been frequently disappointed. As for pav, a perfect pav is food of the gods but again, so many meh ones out there. And vanilla slice is frequently an abomination, but a really good one is just... Hey can you guys just hang on a sec? (Inches towards front door) I'll, um, I'll be back in a minute, I've just got to, um, put petrol in the car (dashes out door without car keys)
did you know timtams are a pale australian copy of the original French patisserie small biscuit cake
iow, they are all delicious if made well with good ingredients
but I think pavs are most likely to be delicious, pretty hard to ruin fresh cream and fruit
Tim Tam's were based off the english Penguins.
really? okay
Yeah and Tim Tam was named after a race horse.
I don't know who's making them but i can assure you all desserts will be tested by me. And they're all👌
