Mmmm, Tres Leches!

Looking for a tres leches birthday cake? Go to El Bolillo Panaderia at 2428 Airline in Houston. Mamacita got a single-layer John Deere tres leches from them for Emmet's birthday last month, and it was very good. She topped that, though, by getting a triple-decker princess-themed tres leches (with strawberry filling on the lowest level) for Becca's birthday today. It's not dripping with condensed milk like the tres leches served in restaurants, but it would be hard to transport and cut a birthday cake dripping in condensed milk. The cake is moist and sweet and the icing is light and fluffy. It's some of the best birthday cake that I've had, and it beats the heck out of the dreck that most grocery store bakeries sell.
