HOTCHULHA

We were invited to my friend’s son’s(Srikar) birthday. I made this cake once last year. When I gave this sample last year, I remember my friends liked it. I thought  I will make this Tres Leches Cake for  Srikar’s Birthday. I made this night before and took it to the party. You don’t believe how much fun Srikar and his brother had with this cake. Parents also loved this cake.
