I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but these scones were still really good. The cherry flavor really shines through.

The scones were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think I might add a little more butter next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
