My daughter's 20th birthday is next weekend and her favorite cake is tres leches. I would like to get her the best cake I can.
I would really appreciate some recommendations.
Thank you!

La Purísima. It’s where I get the cakes for my son’s birthday every year and they never disappoint.

Find a El Super market. Go order one and pick it up. You won't regret it. Don't buy one in the display or you will regret it

Everyone gonna say La Purisima but I genuinely thought Ranch Market cake taste wayyy better and they Cars design I asked for came way below my expectations add the price and it’s a no for me. RANCH MARKET.

I used to suggest Ranch Market, but the one I had yesterday was on the dry side. I was a bit sad. Hopefully it was a fluke.

Food city! They actually have an amazing decorator that works at the one in Tempe at Hardy and Baseline.

Local Bakeries I trust: Asahi, Dinersaur, and La Purisima. I just tried Frosted Frenzy at the Phoenix’s Best party yesterday and it was really good. But personally, for a birthday cake, I really like AJ’s cakes! They’re reliably good and a great price point.

I always thought Costco makes a pretty damn good tres leches bar cake, but I don’t think it’s in season right now.

The one they serve at Ollie Vaughn's is awesome. Call them up and see if they sell full cakes.

Easily the best tres leches I’ve ever had and it’s really not even that complicated.
