Saint Agnes was a virgin martyr from the early fourth century. She was a beautiful girl in a wealthy Roman family.

That being said...they look delicious, right? The weirdest thing is that they taste almost exactly like sugar cookies. Once the icing was added it really resembled one. The texture was that of a fluffy, moist cake, but the taste was sugar cookie. All of that to say, if you are in desperate need of a white cake and you can't run to the store, make these. I got the
