FATCAT SCONES® OFFERS SWEET NEW CHOICES IN A GROWING MARKET FOR GOURMET TASTE TREATS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAY GOODBYE" TO DRY, TASTELESS SCONES

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, FEBRUARY, 2003 Britains Royal Family may come to mind when you think about scones...or perhaps those extravagant Sunday brunches served up at high-class hotels. But a new Sacramento, California company is out to change the way Americans view scones and how they serve them.

FatCat Scones® introduces frozen ready-to-bake gourmet scones, right from the freezer and into the oven, served up moist and tender in about 30 minutes. No more time-consuming recipes. No more lackluster store-bought scones. And best of all: no more dry, tasteless scones that make you wonder why you went through the trouble.

A bit of history here: Scones got their start as a Scottish quick bread, originally made with oats and baked in a griddle. While their texture should be somewhere between cake and a biscuit, most Americans whove tried scones have found them very dry and plain. Well, thats about to change!

Anthony Van Rees, co-founder of FatCat Scones and a classically trained pastry chef developed this deliciously different gourmet product. These scones are British-inspired and American born, and are equally good with morning coffee or afternoon tea," says Van Rees. The gourmet scones are now available to the consumer at www.FatCatScones.com and other specialty food retailers, as well as a variety of grocery store in-house bakeries nationwide.

The new product is being introduced to meet a growing demand for premium frozen, ready-to-bake products. With a focus on all natural, FatCats appetizing gourmet scones have no additives, no preservatives and no hydrogenated oils. We are committed to creating the finest quality scones using only the best all-natural ingredients. Unlike the traditional scones, these moist treats will dazzle the home chef and commercial kitchen alike," states Erik Finnerty, co-founder of FatCat Scones. FatCat Scones come in a variety of moist and mouth-watering flavors: Peach Passion Fruit, Pumpkin Oat Spice, Wild Blueberry, Maple Walnut, Ginger Currant and Shortcake along with seasonal specialties like Cranberry Eggnog and Triple Chocolate Raspberry.

So, scone and fine pastry lovers... it is time to celebrate. Say so long" to dry and crumbly, flavorless scones-and say hello" to moist and luscious scones baked fresh from your oven.
