0 Baking with Love: Our Commitment to All-Natural Ingredients

At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co., every delicious treat starts with a simple idea: use only the best, all‑natural ingredients. From the moment you open one of our individually wrapped scones, brownies, cookies, or granola bars, you’ll taste the difference that pure, thoughtfully selected components can make.

🌾 Flour That Builds, Not Breaks

The foundation of our baked goods is high-quality flour—chosen for its ability to create the perfect structure without overworking gluten. We select flours that deliver tender, light textures and consistent results in every batch.

🧈 Real Butter—and Cream

We believe no substitutes can match true dairy flavor and texture. That’s why we use real butter and real cream, sourced locally whenever possible. These ingredients bring richness, moisture, and a melt-in-your-mouth quality cherished by our customers.

🥚 Fresh Dairy & Eggs

Our commitment extends beyond shelves—we proudly source fresh dairy and farm‑fresh eggs from local suppliers. This means better taste, sustainable support for our community, and ingredients you can feel good about.

🧂 Just Enough Sugar & Salt

We craft our treats to highlight true flavor—not mask it. That’s why we add no more sugar or salt than necessary—just enough to enhance, never overpower.

🍞 Natural Leaveners & Fats

To lift our goods to ideal lightness, we use classic leavening agents—baking soda, baking powder, or yeast—without any artificial alternatives. And fats? Pure, wholesome choices like butter and cream—not hydrogenated oils—create that tender, flaky texture we’re known for.

🌿 No Preservatives, No Mixes—Ever

Every item is baked from scratch in small batches—never starting from a mix. We refuse to use artificial preservatives or ingredients. What you get is pure, fresh, wholesome goodness in every bite.

Why It Matters

• Flavor first: All-natural ingredients allow true, balanced flavors to shine—no sugar overload, no artificial aftertaste.
• Quality you can trust: Local sourcing and small-batch production mean every item meets our exacting standards.
• Wholesome and honest: When you choose our baked goods, you’re supporting purity, freshness, and community values.

At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co., we’re passionate about creating genuine, naturally delicious treats using only ingredients we’d be proud to serve at our own table. It’s baking with love—and it makes all the difference.

0 5 Creative Ways to Personalize Your Fine Sconehenge Gift Box

At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co, we believe every gift should be as unique and thoughtful as the person receiving it. Whether you’re sending a thank-you, celebrating a special occasion, or surprising a friend just because, our signature scone gift boxes offer a warm, delicious way to show you care.

Want to make your gift even more memorable? Here are five creative ways to personalize your Fine Sconehenge gift box for a truly one-of-a-kind experience.

1. Include a Handwritten Note

Nothing says “I’m thinking of you” like a handwritten message. When placing your order, take a moment to write a short, heartfelt note—whether it’s a warm birthday wish, a pun-filled “you’re scone in a million,” or a simple “thank you.” We’ll make sure it’s beautifully included with your gift.

💡 Pro tip: Match the mood of your scone flavors—sweet notes for blueberry lemon, comforting words with maple pecan.

2. Mix & Match Flavors Based on Their Favorites

One of the best parts about our gift boxes? You can build your own mix of flavors! From tangy cranberry orange to rich chocolate chip, choose combinations that match your recipient’s personal tastes.

Are they citrus lovers? Load up on lemon bars. More of a classic comfort fan? Go heavy on traditional chocolate chip cookie or classic brownies.

3. Add a Seasonal Touch

Want to tailor your gift to the time of year? Include limited-time seasonal flavors that reflect the occasion:

• Spring – Light flavors like cranberry or almond
• Summer – Bright and fruity orange or lemon
• Fall – Cozy gingerbread or maple
• Winter – Decadent chocolate or walnut

A seasonal scone lineup makes your gift feel perfectly timed and extra thoughtful.

4. Include a Tea Pairing or Local Favorite

Elevate your gift box by pairing it with a small tin of tea or local jam. While our gift boxes don’t include these items, you can always include a bonus item alongside any of our fresh pastry items that work well together. 

5. Customize the Occasion with Gift Tags or Stickers

For birthdays, holidays, thank-you gifts, or company celebrations, you can request custom tags or stickers to reflect the event. Ask us about personalized options when ordering in bulk—or get crafty and add your own flair once it arrives. Branded stickers for corporate clients? Done. Baby shower tags for mom-to-be? Absolutely.

Another show-stopping option: Fine Sconehenge’s new cookie printer can print anything on their iced cookies—from special messages to logos or images. Perfect for birthdays, business events, or holidays, these custom cookies make your gift one-of-a-kind. Imagine sending a box that says, “Happy Birthday, Mom!” or features your company logo alongside handcrafted scones and cookies.

Make It Meaningful with Fine Sconehenge

Our scones are handcrafted, small-batch baked, and shipped with love—but it’s your personal touch that turns a great gift into an unforgettable one. Whether you’re ordering for one or sending to a whole team, let your gift speak from the heart.

0 The History of Scones: From British Tea Time to Camarillo’s Favorite Treat

Scones may be one of Camarillo’s favorite morning indulgences today, but their origins trace back centuries across the Atlantic. At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co., we’re passionate about the rich history behind every buttery bite, so we thought we’d share a little about how scones went from royal teatime fare to local favorites in our sunny California town.

A Taste of the Past

The word scone is believed to have originated from the Dutch word schoonbrot (fine white bread) or the Gaelic sgonn (a shapeless mass). The earliest versions were more rustic than what we know today—griddle-baked, dense rounds made from oats and cooked over an open fire in 16th-century Scotland.

Over time, the scone evolved. By the 18th century, they had become staples of English tea culture, especially after Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, popularized the ritual of afternoon tea. Served with clotted cream and jam, the scone became a beloved symbol of British hospitality.

Crossing the Atlantic

Scones made their way to America with British colonists but took on regional twists—sometimes sweeter, often larger, and frequently flavored with fruits, nuts, or spices. While still a tea-time staple, American scones are just as likely to be found alongside your morning coffee or on a weekend brunch menu.

Camarillo’s Modern Take

Here in Camarillo, Fine Sconehenge Baking Co. brings a fresh and flavorful approach to this classic treat. We take pride in baking our scones in small batches, using real ingredients, unique flavor combinations, and just the right amount of golden crust. Whether it’s our maple pecan scone, lemon blueberry, or seasonal favorites like gingerbread, each one carries the spirit of tradition—with a California twist.

More Than a Pastry

Scones are more than just baked goods—they’re a connection to history, culture, and community. At Fine Sconehenge, we’re honored to be part of your morning rituals, cozy coffee breaks, and cherished gatherings.

So the next time you take a bite of one of our signature scones, remember: you’re not just enjoying a delicious pastry—you’re tasting a little slice of history.

0 The History and Evolution of the Scone: From Scotland to Fine Sconehenge

The scone is an iconic baked treat that has traveled through time and across continents, evolving in style, ingredients, and flavor. Today, it’s a beloved staple at Fine Sconehenge Baking Co., cherished for its delicate balance of flavor and light texture. But where did it all begin, and how did this humble pastry transform over the years? Let’s take a flavorful journey from the scone’s origins in Scotland to its modern-day delight here at Fine Sconehenge.

The Origins of the Scone in Scotland

The scone’s history starts in the rolling hills and misty highlands of Scotland. While its exact origins are unclear, it’s widely believed that early forms of the scone date back to the 1500s. These early scones were quite different from what we know today; they were made with oats and cooked on griddles as a type of flatbread. Named after the “Stone of Destiny” (or Stone of Scone) used in the coronation of Scottish kings, these hearty scones were a staple among Scots and were often cooked in large rounds, then sliced into triangles for sharing.

The English Tea Room Transformation

The scone’s journey took a transformative turn when it reached England. With the rise of the afternoon tea ritual in the 19th century, credited largely to the Duchess of Bedford, scones became an essential feature of British tea tables. Unlike their Scottish predecessors, English scones were baked rather than griddled, and made lighter with flour, milk, and sometimes butter or cream. Served with clotted cream and jam, scones became an iconic treat synonymous with British high tea culture.

Across the Pond: Scones in America

When scones crossed the Atlantic to the United States, they encountered a whole new range of flavors and styles. American bakers began experimenting with ingredients, adding everything from blueberries to pumpkin and chocolate chips, adapting the scone to suit local tastes. In the U.S., scones are often sweeter and denser, with a variety of glazes, frostings, and fillings, adding extra layers of indulgence.

The Fine Sconehenge Touch

At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co., we’ve taken this tradition and given it a unique twist. Our scones are crafted with an emphasis on low sugar and high flavor, staying true to the balanced taste that made the scone famous, but with a health-conscious approach. We also bring our own blend of creativity, offering varieties inspired by traditional and modern flavors. From classic flavors like Cranberry Orange, to our specialty options like Lemon Raspberry and Maple, each scone is baked with care and culinary passion.

Scones for a New Generation

The evolution of the scone reflects a broader trend in baking: a blending of history with innovation. At Fine Sconehenge, we believe that the best scones are the ones that honor tradition while embracing new tastes and health-conscious choices. As we continue to craft these little wonders, we invite you to savor not only the flavors but the centuries-old story each scone carries with it.

So, next time you bite into a Fine Sconehenge scone, remember you’re experiencing a taste of history — one that has traveled from Scotland to your table, refined and reimagined, yet lovingly tied to its roots.

At Fine Sconehenge Baking Co, we’re committed to providing our customers with baked goods that are both healthy and delicious. With our emphasis on natural, wholesome ingredients and small-batch baking, you can trust that you’re getting a high-quality product that’s good for you.
