Dia de Muertos - Life & Death - Sugar Skull Bakers 2014

Dia de Muertos - Life & Death - Sugar Skull Bakers 2014
Dia de Muertos - Life & Death - Sugar Skull Bakers 2014

Dia de Muertos or the “Day of the Dead” is a Mexican religious holiday to celebrate the memory of our dearly departed, it has grown in popularity over the years. One of its icons is the sugar skull, the claverita, made with sugar and decorated with flowers, it’s where we get our name, so this is how we became Sugar Skull Bakers, a combination of the passion of 120+ bakers and cake designers from around the world.
Leonardo Da Vinci said “Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”. My piece represents the love we have for a beloved departed as love never dies. The color white promotes life and happiness and in contrast, black is associated with death. My piece is dedicated to my cousin who left us almost a year ago; this is to celebrate her life ♥

Such a pretty one! The ruffles and roses are gorgeous – am loving the black leaves too! I have so enjoyed looking at all the sugar skull themed cakes – there is so much talent in the caking world! :-)
