The Palmer House Hotel in Chicago was hosting guests for the Columbian Expedition to honour the 400 years after Christopher Columbus had arrived to America. Bertha Palmer, wife of Mr. Palmer, wanted the chefs of the hotel to create a lady-like dessert. She requested something small that could fit into the boxed lunches for the fair. They concocted the delictable desert complete with an apricot glaze.
