Folks, the second week of August is International Scone Week!
If you’ve never heard of it before, that’s because Joanna, Heidi and I made it up in 2010. Since that time, it’s been a very casual gathering, where bakers all around the world make scones in August and share their photos of them.
I’ve hosted the event in previous years, but things are incredibly hectic here at the moment and I’m not really in a position to run it anymore. Thankfully, lovely Tandy at Lavender and Lime has offered to take it over from now on. It’s an extremely fun week, so please consider joining in!
International Scone Week will run from 10th – 16th August. Everyone is welcome to participate, whether you’re a blogger or not. And if you need some inspiration, here are links to the scone photos from previous years. I can’t wait to see what we all come up with this year!

International Scone Week, 2012
I can’t believe it’s that time of year again! Looking forward to international scone week Celia. Best wishes. Emma xx
Ah, scone week again. I hope to get back and do a post on Mum and her scones in time! Take care dear Celia, with your busy life- delegate as much as you can.
I think I’ll have to skip scone week this year Celia, it coincides with chaos!!
Oh God, I had to stop looking at the pictures……WANT SCONES N O W! :)
How time flies! Seems like the last scone week wasn’t so long ago!
I understand the hectic feeling. Things are busy here too!
Glad someone else helped you out with the hosting, you definitely have enough on your plate, dear….
I have not participated yet and will have to decline again – too much stuff going on on my side of the planet too ;-)
ooops, decline is not the right word. I guess it’s better to say “I’ll have to skip it” or miss it… ;-)
Guess I’ll have to work on some new recipes by then! Looking forward to participating for my second year.
Yum – I’m looking forward to this!
already! time goes past so fast! c

No, it’s just a bit of fun. No purpose other than to bake scones.
WOW! Where did this year go Celia! What a great annual tradition and can’t wait to participate and see what other people create!
You made it up? That’s hilarious! I love a good scone and will enjoy looking at all of the entries.
You’ve done a great job of hosting it since 2010. Thanks for the advance warning that it’s coming up again. I haven’t so far entered but will do! xx
Bigger than Ben Hur! Looks fab…love a good scone for morning or afternoon tea. Well done, all! :-)
I’m looking forward to seeing your scones this year Celia..Perhaps making some orange blossom pistachio ones would be different??
Fabulously fun week Celia and lovely of Tandy to take over the hosting for you.
Have a beautiful and happy day.
:-) Mandy xo
Hope the hecticness diminshes soon. Great to see you’ve shared the load with Tandy. I’d better buy some lemonade!
I think I’ve always missed this so marked it in my diary this time.
I’m surprised it took until 2010 for somebody to make a Scone week! Gotta love them, and the idea of having a scone week.
Wow, that did come around quick!!! Thinking cap on! Liz xx
looking forward to it – and lovely of tandy to step in and help ou
Nice, that’s a legacy you guys started! Looking forward to your August posts come scone week :)

What a great idea! I’ve been a little dry in blogging ideas so this comes at a great time, I’m definitely going to participate, thank you!
Greetings from Budapest! I’ve had some AMAZING scones over the last few weeks… mostly in the UK, where a serving of ‘scones with jam and clotted cream’ is called a ‘cream tea’. Not sure if I’ll be back home in time to play, but love this idea. XX
What a great idea. Scones are such no fuss, delicious pastries.
Mph, mph years ago, my husband compared my scones to biscuits. I haven’t made them since. I may resurrect the biscuits this week and see what he says.
