Having the right supplies for your cooking, crafting and Dia de los Muertos needs is crucial to a fun holiday. Because of the limited availability of many items, you may need to have some of them shipped to you. So make sure that you plan ahead so that you have plenty of time to get everything done in time for the celebration.
These plastic molds will help you create beautiful sugar skulls easily. There are many shapes and sizes to choose from including small ones about the size of golf ball, to larger ones as big as a softball. You can even get pre-made blank sugar skulls to decorate yourself. If you are
making them yourself, be sure to order some meringue powder too.
For those of you that don't have time to bake, this
Pan de Muerto is a quick and easy alternative. Lightly flavored with anise and topped with sugar it is delivered right to your door. There is even a
sesame seed version.
While I have to admit that making your own sugar skulls is a fun and festive experience, if you just don't have the time, these pre-made
small sugar skulls make a nice alternative. There are also
medium and
large skulls available too.
