Tres Leches Cake

I made this cake for my mother's birthday... the original recipe is from Food Network 
A little sloppy put so much better than I thought. 


Fun candles! 
Purple Whip Cream Frosting and homemade chocolate decorations.

Filled with strawberries and black berries. 
 The recipe from Food Network was great! I separate the batter in to two cake batters, gave me some room for mistakes while cutting the layers. I made the cake into three layers, bottom one being the thickest. I placed cake in a spring pan poured one cup of soaking liquid, whip cram and fruit, cake 1.2 cup of soaking liquid, whip cream and fruit, last layer 1/4 cup of soaking liquid.
I just made my own icing using 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and purple food color. I made the decorations, prepare my covering a plate or something flat with tin foil, then melting some milk chocolates and place the melted chocolate in a small plastic bag and snip the corner. Go decorations happy making designs and then place the plate in a fridge. Remove gently from foil. 
Very sweet cake! Great with some black coffee
