{"product_id":"strawberry-cake-slice","title":"Strawberry Cake Slice","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRight so you remember the full strawberry cake? The one I was on about? The one that's proper seasonal because strawberries have opinions about when they want to taste good?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYeah. This is that. Just in slice form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSometimes you don't need a whole cake.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaybe you're just passing through Bromley and you fancy something. Something light. Something fruity. Maybe you've had a heavy lunch and want something that doesn't put you in a sugar coma. Maybe you just want to try it before ordering a big one for something.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhatever it is. Slices are here and honestly when strawberries are good? This one's unbeatable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's what you're getting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVanilla sponge first. Nice and light. Fluffy. Real vanilla because the fake stuff would be a crime against the strawberries. Then we soak it. Just a tiny bit. With strawberry juice if we've got it. Keeps everything moist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen the strawberry buttercream. This bit's the star. Vanilla buttercream with actual strawberry puree mixed through. Not flavouring. Not essence. Real strawberries blitzed up and folded in. So it's slightly pink. Slightly fruity. Tastes like real strawberries because it is real strawberries.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBetween the layers? Fresh strawberry chunks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChopped up. Not whole because that would be impossible to cut through nicely. Little pieces of actual strawberry so every bite gets some.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn top we keep it pretty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSmooth strawberry buttercream. Then fresh strawberry slices arranged nicely. Maybe a whole strawberry half if it's a good one. Sometimes a sprinkle of something fancy but mostly just let the strawberries speak for themselves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho's buying these slices?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSummer people.

When strawberries are good they're amazing. When strawberries are rubbish? I don't make them. Not worth it. If you're making a special trip maybe message ahead and check.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOr order online for collection or local delivery. Whatever works.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne thing I should mention. The fresh strawberries on top won't last forever. Like a day maybe two then they start going soft. Still fine to eat just not as pretty. The cake itself keeps fine but the fruit does what fruit does.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso the strawberry flavour is proper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e It's subtle. It's real. It's not that synthetic loud strawberry taste from cheap sweets. If you want actual strawberry? This is it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRight.
