Here’s my no-nonsense take: a good slice of tres leches from a decent bakery is worth $5 to $7. A whole cake for a party? Budget $30 to $45. If you’re broke but craving it, make it yourself for $12. It’s a little messy, but it’s your mess.
At the end of the day, price is just a number. What matters is that you take a bite. That cold, milky sweetness hits your tongue. And for a second, everything in the world feels okay. That’s priceless.
Now go get yourself some tres leches. You’ve earned it. And if it costs a little extra? Just call it self-care. I won’t tell anyone.
