Sugar Skulls by Elvira and Doris

These skulls were submitted by a reader who sent me this great e-mail.
Chelsie, Just went into your website and found the great step by step recipe in making Sugar Skulls. My friend Doris Evans and I (Elvira Arnberger) made some. It was my first time in making them. We had a blast with one another making them.
Thanks! Elvira
