FIESTA FOR TIFF & NOAH



It was finally time to celebrate their engagement with the family.  Chelsey planed a really fun Fiesta on the beach. Dave was chief chef, of course and made delicious  pork tacos, the best I have eaten by far.  The cake was my domain and keeping in the spirit of the evening I decided on a Tres Leches cake. I had made one before and it was a disaster. I occasionally pick up Fine Cooking magazine, as luck would have it I bought the current issue as my plane reading en route to Cannes and it featured a Tres Leches recipe. I know their recipes work so without a practice run I decided to go for it. Well I think my only mistake was not making 2! This is a really easy cake to bake and is perfect for entertaining as it is excellent baked the day before you need it, all you need to do on the day is add the whipped cream and some garnish, I used chocolate, was supposed to be curls, clearly need to work on that!
