Maids of Honor
"I don't know where this originated, but the name not only sounds elegant, but tastes elegant with the jam, white cake, and yummy frosting. A friend made these for a bridal shower and ever since I have made them for special occasions. It calls for pie crust and I make my own, but you can buy one if you choose. I use a good raspberry jam (Smuckers). These are nice if you are having a tea."
