Good Judy Los Dias de los Muertos 2010 Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)

No Dias de los Muertos fiesta would be complete without Los Calaveras de Azucar. Mounds of sugar skulls are created during the week before the holidays. Made of sugar, meringue, and royal icing, sugar skulls are ofrendas for deceased loved ones (sometimes even bearing their names) and are placed on altars and grave sites. The sugar represents the sweetness of life and the skull represents the sadness of death. But, Los Calaveras de Azucar are not only for the deceased. The living rejoice in the receiving of these skeletal confections too! Heaping spoonfuls of colored sugar, meringue powder, royal icing
