Hungry for History: Scones and Tea

Updated: May 15, 2018

The ritual of afternoon tea and scones has been a staple of British culture since the 1800s. It came about during the time of Duchess Bedford when she determined that a spot of tea and a nibble of scone did the trick in keeping her from feeling "peckish" in the middle of the afternoon.


We can't think of a better afternoon snack then a freshly baked scone paired alongside a cup of tea. Luckily, at Sweet Indulgence, we offer both. Plus - one great thing about our scones is that we can bake them for you in mini sizes! This way you can pre-order a variety of our most popular flavors, in miniature, to serve at your afternoon tea. Just drop us a line at (217) 352-2433 about 48-hours in advance and we'll have your mini scones ready for pick-up.
