She asked her cooks to create a cake like Dellasy that was small enough that she could put them in box lunches for a guest to take to the Chicago World's Fair. A lot of the cooks came up with the brownie with walnuts and an apricot glaze. Now the Palmer House they still sell them that way today. Nineteen oh four, a housewife and Bengor Maine.
