Cherry Square
"Company's coming Cookbook. I made 2 of these, one with red maraschino squares and one with green cherries. They are very pretty and festive. I did not ice them, as I found these were sweet enough. They cut up nicely and froze. I also used a 11x7 inch pan for one of them and it turned out good."
