Steven's birthday
So for our little cousin's bday (not so little actually he just turned 16 lol) I was asked to make some tres leches cupcakes. Now these were a crowd favorite at the communion party (if you look at the pics the top layer on cupcake stand were tres leches) so I made them and to his delight they were delicious! Tres Leches cupcakes are super easy to make- just use a white basic sponge cake recipe, mix up your three milks (heavy cream, condensed milk, and evaporated milk) and when the cupcakes are done baking let them cool then you soak them up with the three milk mixture over and over and over again (this is the most time consuming part) and for best results let them soak overnight. Then you top with some whipped cream-store bought or self made) dust with cinnamon and that's it! Now a few things I learned were- don't use thin cupcake liners- you need the foil ones or really thick liners- otherwise the cupcake will fall apart. Also make sure to put whipped cream on top only when your about to serve them. In my case for Steven's bday I topped the tres leches with my home made whipped cream and by the time I got to his house the whipped cream was melting faster than the wicked witch! Still tasty but not as beautiful. LOL Steven Happy Birthday!!!!
