hector’s new take on ROSE’S heavenly CAKES: Torta de las Tres Leches (page 211), using store bought savoiardi ladyfingers imported from italy and quick tres leches milk.

this cake is my nephew’s -carlos miguel- favorite.

i has been one year since my nephew graduated from Seattle U and i made him the Bernachon Palet d’Or Gateau.

certainly feels like just yesterday.

last month, nephew and dad came to hawaii for a 2 week family reunion.  on the first day of nephew’s visit, he asked me to make him a graduation cake.  i answered: “didn’t i just made you one last year?”  nephew’s answered back:  “for my law degree, i would like a bigger cake:  like the one you made for my dad on his wedding:”

nephew wasn’t born when i made that cake.  his dad must have loved the wedding cake so much that it remains vivid and desired on the son’s mind!  i couldn’t help showing nephew the cakes i made shortly after:

the cake for my dad’s 50th birthday:

the cake for my youngest brother 7th birthday:

the cake for my youngest brother graduation from high school:

the cake for my niece’s 1st birthday:
