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. This 2-piece mold makes 1 extra large sugar skull. This is the largest, most realistic Mexican sugar skull mold we have. Back of the head is the same size as the face. It’s whimsical with the big eye recesses to decorate and it’s a big skull with lots of room to decorate. Big Eyes mold is same size as the Original Large, but it's back of the head is the same height as the front. We are currently out of Orig Large but you'll enjoy this one with the big eye indentation to decorate.
