Sprinkle half the sugar over the berries and let them sit a few minutes. Whip the cream and sweeten with the remaining sugar. Split the scones and set them out with the tops to one side. Add a dollop of whipped cream to the split scones, then pile berries all over. Put a schmear of whipped cream on the biscuit tops and lay over the berries. Serve immediately.
