I've seen quite a few recipes that use Sour Cream to soften the resulting pastry/cake/etc. But i have shied away from these recipes due to one concern... Does the Sour Cream have a noticeable effect on the taste of the recipe? Will i taste Sour Cream in my scones and pound cake? Or does the addition blend away like so many other ingredients.

The sour cream will serve to tenderize your final product. You may notice a slight tang, which I personally like, but the great benefit of using a really acidic dairy product in a baked good--creme fraiche, sour cream, buttermilk--is the melt-in-your-mouth quality that you'll get.
And at the end of the day, it's probably worth it to experiment on a small scale to see if you like the result.
