Mrs Anne
Tattersall said: "It tasted absolutely divine, exactly
like the smaller ones." She added that they had put the cream
on first, followed by the jam. "That's the way I've always
done it, but there was some really serious debate going on,"
she said.
Robert Wiseman Dairies donated 35lb (16kg) of clotted
cream for the scone, which was also spread with 20lb (9kg)
of jam.
The scone
weighed more than 100lb (45kg) and Mrs Tattersall had to commission
a purpose-built tray and cutter, built by Alco Engineering.
Anne
Tattersall made the record-breaking attempt as part
of the Lovemydevon
competition, in which three finalists are battling
it out to win £10,000 by promoting the county.
Mrs Tattersall is hoping that her Devon
cream tea will draw national attention. She said:
"I'm trying to encourage people to see that we don't do things
by halves in Devon.
There's more to see than cream teas, but the cream teas here
are the best."
