In this class, we will learn to prepare the delicious Pan de Muerto (bread of dead) that is decorated with “bones” of dough and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Día de los Muertos is celebrated all over Mexico with traditions and food. On November 1 and 2, it is the time to honor the spirits of those friends and family members who have passed away.
