The Ultimate Custard Square Hunt - The Jimmy Cafe & Bar

Today's custard square was a bit of a surprise; I had taken the chance to pop out for a bite to eat for breakfast with colleagues (normally I would eat before work but I traded it for a run this morning, after a week of hibernation). I ordered a blueberry muffin for breakfast (pretty average, sorry), and as I was ordering I spied some custard squares over in a different cabinet, so asked for one to take away.

It's been a while since I've had a custard square to trial so I was pretty pleased to spy these. My colleagues were amused by me buying this sort of confection at 9am, though. Fortunately, I managed to shelter it from the pelting rain and got it home intact so we could have it for dessert at a much more civilised hour!

I liked this custard square, but wasn't blown away - it was very sweet, which Mr Cake didn't like so much; it had a reasonably strong vanilla flavour, which was good, and there was nothing really wrong with it - but also nothing amazing. I do prefer a fluffier icing, though. I give this one 6.5/10.
