Sugar Skulls



Our friends Eric, Alison, and Alex always seem to be up to something fun!!  They were planning on decorating Sugar Skulls.  I didn't know much about it, but didn't want to miss out, and I'm so glad I didn't!!  Tons of fun!!!


Sugar skulls are exactly that!  Sugar mixed with something??? and then put in a mold.  Once dried it is easy to decorate with icing.  I don't think this is something I would want to eat.  Traditionally, sugar skulls are used during Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) to remember and honor the memory of  ancestors.

 
Ta-Da!  Our decorated Sugar Skulls!!  A great evening with the DeSilva's & Coyne's!!
