Well, it all started with tres leches cake - the original poke cake! When my kids were growing up and wanted to take something special into school, I was quickly recruited to bake one of these. What I love the most about this dessert, is that you can adapt it to any occasion.

I bought all of these products at my local Walmart which is only five minutes from my house. They are very affordable, and high quality too.
I would encourage everyone to purchase any of their delicious products for your recipe needs. In part, this helped drive popularity of the tres leches cake across Latin America. As far as the origins of this delicious cake are concerned, no one is really sure.

You can find pastel de tres leches and tres leches cupcakes throughout the U. When the liquid has soaked in, it is time to frost the cake with nothing more than whipping cream. Again, feel free to decorate your tres leches before serving with fresh fruit, or maybe even a maraschino cherry!
