This is no baking blog and yet I bake, and baking is most definitely an art. As with many things, preparing meals is rather an established and ordinary sort of task. Yet, it is a valid and generous facet through which to bring art into the mundane everyday habits of living. That said, I do not bake much (haha).
For the past couple months my dad and I have been spending one day a week at a local coffeeshop. We’re quite the Tuesday regulars now, and have a lovely little routine that includes ordering one of two lattes, and a scone. Which brings me to the point… a few weeks ago I had the urge to try my hand at making fresh scones myself and thus enjoyed a nice summer afternoon project with it.
I was struck by the colors throughout the process and happily enough, my lemon-glazed, strawberry poppy seed scones turned out decently first try, so I took lots of pictures.
The wonderful thing about this form of art is that the product is instantly consumable, accepted as sharable, and nourishing.
If all goes well of course. π
For those further interested: this is the recipe I used.
My family asked if I was going to post about the scones I made. Consider this my answer. π
What do you like to order at cafes and coffeeshops? Have you ever tried to make it yourself?

The scones did not last more than 24 hours in my house. π
