Sweet treats for fall!
The fall is full of holidays: My birthday, then Halloween, and then Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 2. And all of these holidays have something awesome in common: Sweet treats!
I loved my chocolate birthday cake with ginger icing, and there is a special place in my heart for candy corn… but check out this beautiful skull-shaped cookie for Día De los Muertos! Mmm…
I received a press release about this cookie from the New York-based couture pastry company, One Tough Cookie. But since we are in Freso, I am wondering… are there local places to buy similarly delicious cookies? Or do you make your own skull-shaped cookies for the holiday?
And if baking and cookies aren’t your thing, Arte Américas will be displaying Día de los Muertos altars later this month. More details to come in next week’s edition of Vida…
