International Scone Week 2018
I am in two minds whether or not to continue this tradition started by Celia who blogs over at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial. Last year saw an increased participation of 13 recipes. Compared with 2016 that was great, but still not as good as 2015. I am hoping International Scone Week 2018 can be better than last year. The main reason for me carrying this on is my responsibility in taking over the mantle. Also, I have already baked my scones and I cannot wait to share the recipes.
How to take part:
- Create and blog a scone recipe and post it during International Scone Week which is from the 6th to the 12th of August.
- Link back to this post in your blog post.
- Use the hashtag #ISW2018

Where did this tradition come from?
International Scone Week was completely made up. In August 2010 the universe conspired, and there was a lot of scone baking in the blogosphere. Heidi, Joanna and Celia came to a decision to have this event every year. The first International Scone Week was held in 2011, and since then, a lot of us have been baking scones in the second week of August. This year I will be sharing two recipes from other bloggers. If you are looking for inspiration, take a look on my side bar. All of last years’ recipes are showcased there. From the 13th of August I will list the 2018 recipes.
Inspiration published on Lavender and Lime July 25:

What a wonderful tradition – I had no idea there is an international scone week 🙂
Hope you can take part Miriam 🙂
I wonder if I have enough time to make scones!? 😀
I hope you do!
I will have to try and think of something inspiring this time, Tandy.
I look forward to your contribution Robbie 🙂
A lovely idea…I am not the best scone maker my mum is…But I will try and give it a go 🙂 x
Thanks, that would be amazing!
I hope I might get a scone posted – not sure right now about what takes my fancy but I love international scone week and am pleased you are continuing the tradition!
Hope you find something to take your fancy 🙂
Hi tandy – I have made some scones for ISW – https://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/2018/08/spiced-walnut-and-chocolate-scones.html – I think I have done the linking as you ask in this post – let me know if I need to do more! look forward to seeing more scones
Thank you Johanna – I am going to start reading the posts soon 🙂
I’ve got an idea now Tandy and can’t wait to try it out 🙂
I am so looking forward to it!
Oh goodness. I didn’t realise this was still going. I’m not sure if I’m going to manage it, but I think I’m going to try. Especially if this might be the last one. I’m just in the process of saying goodbye to #WeShouldCocoa with the final round up on 1 September – it’s 8th anniversary. It feels rather sad after all this time, but bloggers don’t really want to play along any more.
I will take a look at the #WeShouldCocoa – it is sad when bloggers don’t want to be a part of something 🙂
I just published a new Honey Matcha scone post at http://artofnaturalliving.com/2018/08/10/honey-matcha-scones-isw2018/
Thanks for the push Tandy–and I can’t wait to “see” all the scones!
Thank you for taking part, and I am so looking forward to all the recipes 🙂
I wasn’t sure how to get my scone recipe post to you Tandy, so I’m leaving the link here. Hope that’s OK. I posted here yesterday, but I think I made a typo on my website, so it might have gone into spam.

Thanks so much for taking part and for leaving the link 🙂
Tandy, I waited to the very last minute to post, and now my photos won’t load. The text is up and I’ll update whenever the photos decide to cooperate, but meanwhile want to thank you for nudging me into baking Apple Buttermilk Sconescones. They were a treat!
Thank you so much for taking part 🙂
hi Tandy,
I’m adding my link here as I don’t think you will be notified in any way via my post: http://sherryspickings.blogspot.com/2018/08/caraway-scones-international-scone-week.html
thanks for hosting!
cheers
sherry
