This Week's Concoctions Ending 5/20

Here is the highlight of an item that I made this week other than the "Weekly Cookie"

It is "Mexican" week at work so I wanted to make a dessert since there was no hot food item that looked appealing to me. Unfortunately, there weren't many options. So I went with a Tres Leches cake. It is a lactose intolerant's nightmare. It contains whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk and heavy cream. It is also a really heavy cake weight wise because it is a normal cake with all these milks dumped in the crevices of the cake.
