Actually scones are easy to make, many
ladies from HK high society can do it well.
i.e. Mrs. Chan, the former head of AO,
Lady Lydia Dunn,  Annie Hui etc.

It is a bit confusing.
The so called High Tea is the mini meal for working class before supper;
consisted of mostly savory item, Cornish Pasties, Chicken Patties or
Pork Pies etc. not so high class at all.
The chic  tea and pastries, delicate ribbon sandwich set  served in  3-Tiersfine bone china and is called Afternoon tea, served at 2:30 pm.
the only thing in common is that they both served with tea.

According to British custom,  Afternoon tea and High Tea
are  totally different, High Tea is for working class.
The term  "  Tea"  would referred as Meal, as
" Pudding" for all desserts, including some sliced oranges.
but in N. America, everything goes, I've seen Vietnamese
Salad roll served at High Tea.
Well,  I appreciated everything properly prepared with heart.

    So you are newly grad.
    It is not difficult at all, just to understand the idea.
    The problem is that scones do not keep well,
     they dry out in few hours. (that is, the good home made one,
     commercial one keeps for a week easily.)

difficult to find in Vancouver
