Starry Nights got a huge opportunity to make all the scones for the Bellevue Strawberry Festival. 5500 scones, to be precise. It took a huge effort to get this all done, but we did, and they were perfect.

We started mixing on Saturday and finished baking today. Our numbers:

• Flour: 620# (12.5 50# bags)
• Sugar: 137.5# (5.5 25# bags)
• Butter: 206#
• Eggs: 1100 (92 dozen)
• Cream: 34.5 gallons
• Vanilla extract: 1.5 gallons

• 100 sheet pans of 56 scones each
• 69 boxes to deliver them all
• 2 separate delivery days (Friday and Saturday)

• 17 hours of mixing
• 18 hours of baking
• 3 cooks for a total of 88 hours

As good as the results were, I don't think I could eat a scone if you paid me!
