Maids of Honor Recipe

"I don't know where this originated, but the name not only sounds elegant, but tastes and looks elegant with the jam and white cake and yummy frosting. A friend made these for a bridal shower once and I have been making them ever since for special occasions. It calls for pie crust and I make my own, but you may buy one if you choose. I use a good Raspberry Jam (Smuckers). These are so pretty with the red jam, white cake, and fuffy frosting."

Step 1

Make the pie crust and roll out to cover a large cookie sheet making a 1" edge but don't stretch it out; just ease it in so it won't shrink.

Step 2

Prick holes all over the crust with a fork; bake at 400 degrees till golden and done; cool and then spread the jar of jam over the cooled crust.

Step 3

Mix the cake according to directions on box OR use the amounts above--don't use both; pour batter over the jam and bake at 350 degrees for time on box or till done when tested.

Step 4

FROSTING: Put everything into a mixing bowl starting with 2 cups sugar and adding more if needed; whip till light and fluffy and then frost your pan and enjoy.
