I had real high hopes for this… everything it needed was there. Pumpkin. Being a scone. Icing, flavor drizzle… but… I think this one came crashing down. Maybe it was my expectations. Or maybe it was a day old.
The scone itself was sort of dry to bite into. It was a good thing I had a coffee nearby to wash it down. The pumpkin flavor was decent. A little too much nutmeg for my liking I believe though. I feel if it did not have the icing on top it would have been disastrous. Pumpkin is like fine Texas BBQ… it needs to be able to stand alone on its own merit without the aid of additional sauces, or icing in this case.
The icing itself was a hard outer shell which leads me to believe it was a day old. Had the icing been softer, it may have changed the entire course of my disappointment. It may have been the life jacket to this sinking ship. But instead I felt like Rose watching it sink to the bottom when I had perfectly enough space for it on my door. Somethings you just have to let go of.
The overall experience of this scone was on par. Way less than I expected given the presentation but still not overly bad. It’s just not going to win championships with that game play.
