One of Katie Dorman's favorite foods is tres leches cake.  As soon as I found this out, the day after I got here, I wanted to make it for her sometime.  Now, I've never made tres leches before.  I've never even eaten it.  But I did today.  I saw the recipe in my new cookbook over the weekend and determined that it needed to be on the menu before we have 90 people in the building.  I had to wait till the order came in to start because we didn't have the eggs we needed, just the leftover egg whites that had been saved for the purpose of making tres leches.  In spite of the fact that it involved beating egg whites, it turned out very well.  Katie was very pleased, and Esther said she'd never had better tres leches, even where people are supposed to know how to make it.
