It's not my kind of thing ; would that it were! However, there 
is a Salvadorian bakery in old-town Gaithersburg that might be a 
possibility.

Heller's Bakery, in Mt Pleasant.

Or, check out some of the bakeries from the article about such cakes in 
last week's Post food section:

You can also buy a tres leches cake from restaurants like Mariachi in
Ritchie Center on Rockville Pike. I am sure that most of the latin
restaurants around that serve the cake will sell you a whole one. And,
if you'd like the recipe I'll be happy to email you one. They are not
hard to make at all.
