Personal Notes:
It brings back wonderful memories of of my great grandmother. She would make Tres leches for special occasions. It has even more meaning to me now since she pasted away last year. This recipe will be pasted down to my children just like it was pasted down to me. Every time i make this cake it will be with happy memories.
