last month my aunt asked me if I know how to make Tres Leche I told her yes but never had tried to do it. this month my niece and friend asked the same question and I gave the same answer. the only difference with my friend was that he asked if I can do this cake with rum. I decided to search and search on line but could not get that one touch. I asked my mom and she said I guess it's like making rice pudding. you use the same ingredients. so with my research and my moms tweak of sweet cooking I decided to conbine and make my own. this was AWESOME. I had no rum so I used Bailey's Irish cream which I had purchase at San Juan air port last month on my way back from Puerto Rico. (it came in handy during my baking time). I WAS UPSET WITH MYSELF BECAUSE I HATE WHEN I MAKE DELICIOUS CAKES THAT I CAN NOT STOP EATING. MY KANGAROO CAKE GRIL" THATS ALL I WROTE".
