Every 'day of the dead' altar needs a dead guy, that's who we are celebrating,
the near and dearly departed. I like this guy cuz he looks like he's not quite ready and may need a little coaxing to get to the other world. (via www.tesoros.com)

Day of the Dead Bread: Pan de Muertos : Mexican Recipe

First to recommend

Description

This is my favorite bread for dia de los muertos, it is the traditional bread shaped into a skull and crossbones with a hidden skeleton inside. The luck goes to the person who bites the bread and gets the skeleton. You can buy it at your local panaderia or make it from this recipe. (via www.mexconnect.com)
