Sugar skulls are very popular to make at Day of the Dead parties as an alternative to Halloween. It's much more meaningful as DoD is the traditional way Mexicans honor their departed loved ones. A sugar skull represents the soul of someone who is being honored on a home ofrenda altar. Sugar skulls are easy to make with granulated sugar and decorated with Royal Icing. Once hardened, they can last up to 10 years! It's a fun activity for school, parties, events, church groups or gifts for your friends. 2 1/2″ high Four 2-sided sugar skulls 2 skull faces + backs per mold This makes a skull a bit smaller than a tennis ball. Back and front are exactly the same size so once it’s decorated, it looks very similar to a true Mexican sugar skull. Petite! Nice size to mound up on top of a cake, or give as a gift. Use this mold for sugar skull mix, tempered chocolate, candy coating wafers, colored ice and other mold projects!
