Rocky Road Slice & Lemon Coconut Slice

Slices are very popular here. Its a portable baked item which one will find in any bakery here. The ever so popular vanilla slice, hedgehog slice, jelly slice...the list goes on and on.  One will never get enough of slices, it seems. Slices can be easily made up without an oven.  My Grandaunt once said that a baker is not a baker if there's no slice recipes in her cookbook.

Did you know that Rocky Road was an Australian invention?  From the stories I have heard, really horrible bad hearted businessmen mixed the spoilt confectionary with milk chocolate and other sweet items ( to musk the taste and smell) and sold it to gold miners. So sad, isn't it?

These days, rocky road is very popular here, in the USA, UK and other countries.  Of course, we use the fresh items to make this beautiful slice. Here's a photo of my rocky road slice.

Besides the rocky road slice, I also made the lemon coconut slice. Here's a photo of it.

Till next time...bye!!!
