International Scone Week – A Reminder

July 20, 2015 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

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!

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.

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.

  No, it’s just a bit of fun. No purpose other than to bake scones.

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

I’m looking forward to seeing your scones this year Celia..Perhaps making some orange blossom pistachio ones would be different??

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.

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.
