Late to class today because it’s my birthday. Normally I abjure birthdays, but this is a biggie. One of my daughters sent the most beautiful flowers over the weekend, and I’m taking a Tres Leches cake to work as my “birthday treat” for the staff.

I didn’t bake it — I bought it at Cosco and it looks luscious. It has a caramel glaze over the top. I could not find anything like it among the hundreds of photos of Tres Leches on the Web. Several layers with filling between the layers.

So, I won’t be abjuring cake today. With our small staff, I figure that we’ll each get 2 pieces.

Very clever of me, don’t you think? Today is one of a couple of Mexican Independence Days, and I’m bringing a Mexican dessert!
