Frequently Asked Questions

Tres leches means three milks in Spanish. A traditional tres leches cake is a vanilla sponge cake (no box cake mixes, please) which is soaked in a three milk mixture, the tres leches. It is then topped with either meringue or whipped topping, and garnished with cinnamon or cherries. Here at Tres Leches Cakery, we love the lightness of the whipped topping with a gentle sprinkling of cinnamon to really let the cake shine. It is perfectly sweet, yet not overpowering. We know you will fall in love at the first bite!

Currently we offer three flavors: Traditional, Chocolate, and Coffee. We will offer a seasonal flavor from time to time, so keep checking back! Please visit our Offerings page for a full description of our cakes.

We are based in Seminole, Florida.

Our standard sizes are medium (serves 8-10 generous portions) and large (serves 12-16 generous portions). In addition to whole cakes, we offer individual cake shooters in increments of 24 if you would prefer to have individual servings.

We can also bake larger cakes to accommodate larger parties. Please email info@treslechescakery.com with your party size for additional information.

Tres leches cake is a cold dessert. While you may let it sit out for a short while during your event, please keep the cake refrigerated when not being enjoyed.

No-our cakes are baked fresh each week in limited quantities based upon orders received. Cut yourself a generous slice, then share the rest with your family and friends! Just be sure to tell them where you got it from!
