says it has made the largest ever scone. The scone weighed 26kg - 700 times bigger than a standard one. Once the scone had cooled, it was topped with 12.5kg of clotted cream and 10kg of strawberry jam, then served to more than 300 people attending a cream tea festival in the Devon town. Helen Hallett (pictured), who runs the bakery with husband Mel and son Christopher, said it had taken three weeks and nine attempts to make the scone.
