I think of it as the Mexican version of Halloween or All Hallow's Eve. Or some people think of the cartoon or some similar children's show. No matter, it is the day that Mexican's celebrate those who have passed away.
Amazingly, it is not at all "scary" but more about colours, flowers and things to celebrate their loved ones.
A very important customer of mine recently asked for a cake for his daughter's 18th birthday in the theme of the day of the dead. It was an interesting challenge and I couldn't be happier with the way the cake (with one whole tier being VEGAN) turned out!
I've never done a black tier before so I was really happy that it wasn't anything majorly different to a white or ivory tier (well duh, it is just coloured fondant right?). And the skull.. it's pretty much freestyle.
