Just to warn you all please stick to what the recipe says and dont do what I did. I didnt wait for it to go cold before I spread the icing on it. Bad idea. What was I thinking silly lady. It will still taste good but the icing wont look quite like the picture.

I'm sure it'll still taste great samsnan ... it is soooo good! My weekly trip into Takaka always started with a coffee & slice at The Wholemeal Cafe where the recipe comes from. It was always a hard choice to make between the ginger slice and their sticky lemon one! I bought the recipe books before I left Golden Bay! ! !

Winnie I have just cut it up in pieces. I think I may just put the icing I use for ordinary ginger crunch next time. This is still a little sticky. Cant wait to have have some with my cup of tea later tonight.
