OK, now I don't currently have a recipe to hand but a vanilla slice is basically a
sort of sticky custardy confection (at least that is what it is sold as in
Tasmania)

It has a thinnish pastry base, a layer of custard, a layer of pastry & is topped
with a layer of white sticky oozing icing.  I'm not exactly sure where the vanilla
is supposed to come in:  the custard or the icing!  Basically, when you bite into
it, the custard tends to squeeze out the other side (speaks from experience) and
fall down the front of your shirt.
