It's funny because I use those wax melt things all the time and my favorite scents are the baking ones. My kids are used to coming home and smelling something good, but it's usually just the wax melts or a scented candle. They are always so happy when they find out it's REAL sweets they're smelling!

Yes, I think cream is the key. :) I actually press the dough into a 9 inch round cake pan to get it in a perfect circle, then I flip it over onto a floured surface to cut it into triangles. My youngest son is allergic to dogs, so that's why we only have cats. We actually got a golden retriever puppy once, and that's when we found out he's allergic. Oh well. :) Holly keeps us on our toes though!

My husband is always trying to get me to make desserts! I looked at the recipe and it looks like it will be yummy since I was told that cream is the key ingredient to great scones! Can't wait to try it!!! I love your little story about Holly! She is so cute, we love cats over here.... but my son is allergic to cats and dogs. So, we are without any animals... used to have 2 cats and one huge dog and there isn't a day that I don't think about one of them! Enjoy her and have fun with the red ribbon!!!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JanineHappy Happy Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167301998858505942noreply@blogger.com
