Best Tasting Scones - FatCat Scones!
In a universe chock-full of hockey pucks posing as scones, FatCat Scones defy convention. They're great-tasting, moist, creative scones. When Erik Finnerty and Tony Van Rees set up shop in West Sacramento in September 2002, they had one commercial customer and were knocking out 500 scones per month. This past April, they sent out 180,000. Their frozen, ready-to-bake delights can be found throughout the Western States, in such outlets as Whole Foods and Nugget Markets. (They also are sold ready-baked at some outlets.) FatCat Scones recently won "Best in Aisle" at the National Association for the Specialty Food trade show in San Francisco.
