My experience: I mad tres leches cake for my Spanish class sophomore year. I wanted to make something no one else would make so i decided to look up desserts and found tres leches cake. Tres leches means three milk cake. I went to the store and brought a box of yellow cake and the three milks and started to cook. The next day I brought the cake to class and everyone seemed to be interested and wanted to try it. Except for the few who didn't like milk or were lactose and tolerant. I thought the presentation and the cake went well, afterwards I had a little bit of cake left over and ate that for lunch.
