This past weekend I was happy to make a cake for a person who is quickly becoming one of my best friends, Lili and her family. It wasn't her birthday but she is the one who has been there for me and help in spreading the word out about what I do.
Right now I am just trying to make cakes and have people taste them. I do this for no profit, just so I have a good fan base when I do decide to move forward, which I hope will be in the next few years. This may be a family business opportunity after all!
The cake was traditional tres leches with whip cream frosting and strawberries/peach center. I find that most tres leches cakes that are produced use cool whip or other similar product for the frosting. As much as this may be favored for its simplicity and economic standpoint, I feel that a true tres leches cake should be topped with whip cream, the real kind. If you haven't ever tried real whip cream, once you do you will not want to go back to the pre-made stuff!
Thank you Lili and thanks to your wonderful family!
Love Cake!
