[Victorian premier Jeff] Kennett’s press release promoting the event declared this “important Australian culinary delicacy has tantalised Australians since white settlement” and “the pursuit of the best vanilla slice and the best vanilla slice baker in Australia should be of great national interest”.

Proclaimed as a national icon, the vanilla slice is a familiar sight in Australian bakeries – but where did this pastry come from?

    I looked up this place I went to recently on holiday and their vanilla slice (which they claim is the best in the region) was rated a 9. Thanks for sharing!
