Tres Leches Cake

I forbid myself for making extra fillings and icings but mixing enough for a single recipe particularly on the first try is always inevitable.  Worst, throwing its excess makes my heart break. So, instead of resorting to waste I better use the extras to more explorations. 

I wonder how the leches and the whipping cream will turn out on a vanilla cake? This is a non-recipe entry but it goes down the line of assembly...

TRES LECHES CAKE

Using your favorite vanilla (chiffon) cake , I baked using its cake batter recipe sometime ago and it taste delicious-- 

fill this with tres leches cremé 

TRES LECHES ENSAYMADA

Have you ever tasted pastel ( a custard filled bread famous in Cagayan de Oro) .? Oh, I got carried away by the turnout of the Ensaymada overload and a craving for Pastel so I made a hybrid of these two. 

 Taking it to further overloading by adding tres leches filling. This could be hyperglycemic, I must admit, but the cremé is really superb (which is by the way not too sweet) and filling the bread is simply irresistible....My apologies...

Tres Leches Custard Cremé

I remember the Bavarian Creme -- the star of Dunkin Donuts, even its munchkins sell like hotcakes. But its stardom faded ( in me) when Doc Jorge ( my brother who used to work in pgh) introduced us to Maxims' donut sold at Maxim's Pastry Shop located at the lobby of the defunct Manila Midtown, now where the Robinsons Manila stood still.  I always looked forward to weekends because I get to hangout in Orosa and its neighbourhood -- so rich in food culture and extra-cultural activities...  Need not to elaborate on that =).
