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. 4 skull faces + backs per mold, 2 sheets 2 1/2″ high x 2″ wide x 2″ deep The front is slightly longer than the back of the head. Probably not a good choice for students (Original Medium is BEST) but great for sugar skull makers who want to make lots of little skulls as give-aways, decorate tops of cakes or place setting gifts. Very happy friendly looking skull design.
