I loved the way these just had a hint of sweetness from the maraschino cherries. They were good both with and without the glaze - (I couldn't wait). I used my scone pan, and that made 10 scones. The recipe was easy and the scones are a nice treat for breakfast, with dinner, or just as a snack. Made for Fall 09 PAC.

I live on the west coast of Canada and love it here. I am an avid baker and cook, nature-lover, photographer-by-hobby, reader, runner.. yes, life is good. I love cooking pizza from scratch, concocting flavored sorbets, and baking cookies and cake. I am sort-of-known for my cake-baking skills: I've made them for my friends' surprise birthday parties, and for family members. I also made an E=MC2 shaped chocolate cake for physics class once. I love baking a cake based on the person's personality- cheese cake, coconut-peach cake, fruit and chocolate cake... it's fun. Anyway, that's a bit about me.
