sugar skull birthday cake

A little late but as promised, a photo of what I did with your large, undecorated sugar skull. All I did to the skull was use some petal dust to enhance the details. Then I placed it on top of a chocolate cake filled with fudge filling and iced in butter cream. The flames around the skull, as well as the board the skull is setting on are fondant. This was for a young man's 18th birthday.

It was such a hit it looks like I may be ordering another skull in the spring to recreate this cake for her daughters 16th birthday.

Thanks again for the availability & speedy delivery.

Sincerely,

Here are some pics of my now finished sugar skulls. I had a real good time doing it and I will only get better each year I practice. I am in the spirit and muertos mood! Who knew I could calm my caffeine hands down enough to do scripting!

one of our happy custom happy customer's dia de los muertos wedding cake
We ordered the pre-made sugar skulls, the hand-painted calavera bride and groom glasses, and a Dia de Los Muertos cake topper from you guys a couple of years ago for our wedding, and I wanted to give you the pictures. My husband and I had small Alturas as centerpieces, for those of our family that could not be there, and decorated the sugar skulls for them. In the other picture, you can see our cake topper and the glasses we ordered. Everything we got from you was beautiful, and everyone who was at our wedding asked where we had gotten everything. Thank you so much. - Jeff and Angela Broaddus

The last row of banners are ones congregants made with names of their loved ones; the church is an 1843 building; I love the juxtaposition!

Hi! These are a few sugar skulls from the last batch I made last year. They're all made of real sugar and bonded with royal icing, but I take the non-traditional road and paint them with real paint and not icing. I'm not sure this is exactly the kind of art you would display on your website but I'm a big fan of the site, the products, the projects and tips etc., and my skulls have been quite a hit with every single person I've shown them to. It has become one of my signature art mediums.
