The story of the Cinnamon Cream Scones

(Sorry to reuse the picture, but I promise the new batch looks just like this.)

Years ago I set out to learn cinnamon rolls. Acquiring this knowledge led almost immediately to profound regret. Cinnamon rolls are, of course, a delight- while you're eating them. Afterward, you feel cranky and heavy and avoid social contact if you can. Being able to whip one up whenever the mood strikes- well, that's just not a skill anyone should have, and certainly not something I should be trusted with.

My honey, who is wise in all things, said to me one day not long after that, "Make me a cinnamon roll that doesn't make me feel like death the rest of the day." And I thought, huh. That would be a worthwhile thing. I started with a basic cream scone dough and convinced it to behave like a cinnamon roll. The results were pretty wonderful.

A few tweaks later, and the final version is what you see below. They shouldn't work. The dough is worked to death. They should be heavy and bready and the worst sort of compromise. They're not. They're shockingly light (Texture-wise. They're still unhealthy.), they freeze like a dream, and they seem to be everyone's favorite thing.

I have four SOLD of them for delivery today. Holler if I can help.

Hey, gang. Those of you who have been with me from the beginning may remember when Kim and I provided scones for Mudslingers. These little guys- Cinnamon Cream Scones - were probably our greatest hit. I hear they still get requests now and then.

I love them. But I never make them, because they're fussy and they take a while and who has a meaningful attention span any more?

Today I did. I have two. SOLD

Also two Key Lime Shortbread. SOLD

And one Lemon Bar. SOLD

And something like four dozen Chocolate Chip cookies. SOLD

That's the news. Holler if I can help.

Away Up North, there is a magical place that we have come to love, filled with beautiful people and an outdoor wood-fired oven. It's where I learned to be less fussy about my baking. The scone I first made there is Heston's Special. It's a brown sugar buttermilk scone with cranberry, coconut, and white chocolate. Like the place itself, it's one of my favorites.

Today, I have one order (the blurry one in the back there). SOLD

Also, one Sriracha Cheddar (the one in the front).

One Bella's Biscuit (a whole other story).

And one Buttermilk Blueberry, simple and classic.

That's the news. Holler if I can help.

Last call. Anyone need late-night brownies?

05/10/2026

Good morning, everyone, and happy Mother's Day. I'm filling a few preorders here, but there's room in my day if there's something you're craving. As always, let me know if I can help.

At the moment, I have one extra gluten-free double chocolate brownie up for grabs. This is the only brownie I regularly do these days, since the recipe allows for cramming more chocolate into them.

NOTE: This recipe is gluten-free, but my world is not. Cross-contamination is always a possibility. You are the best judge of your own sensitivity.

Hey, gang. Odd pairing today. I have one order (12 pieces) of lemon bars SOLD and one classic butter shortbread, also 12 pieces SOLD. What do you think, package deal? I can get you either or both before choir tonight. Let me know if you need them.

Hey, friends. I've got two orders of lemon bars available. 12 pieces each, if I remember to cut them correctly. Let me know if you need them.
