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.
