This is a picture one of my sweet costumers shared with me.

She is an amazing teacher that ordered our Pan de Mu**to to teach about that tradition to her children!

Kuddos to her! Those children are lucky to have her! 🫶🕯🏵

The Day of the Dead (el Día de los Mu**tos), is a Mexican holiday where families welcome back the souls of their deceased relatives for a brief reunion that includes food, drink and celebration.

A blend of Mesoamerican ritual, European religion and Spanish culture, the holiday is celebrated each year from October 31-November 2. While October 31 is Halloween, November 1-2 is All Souls Day or the Day of the Dead. According to tradition, the gates of heaven are opened at midnight on October 31 and the spirits of children can rejoin their families for 24 hours. The spirits of adults can do the same on November 2.

Why DIY cookie sets are a great activity for children and an amazing opportunity to spend quality time with our litte ones:

●Decorating cookies can develop a sense of pride after their hard work.🥰
●Decorating cookies is a way of art; they can express emotions AND explore their creativity. 🤯
●They are great for fine motor skills.
●A yummy activity that helps hand-eye coordination.
●It teaches them patience, as decorating can be challenging.
● Bonding time with our children while creating memories.

Let me do the baking, so you can have the fun. I have plenty of colors and designs.

I hope you are having a great Friday and a better weekend!

Stay magical

Much love,

-H♡

What we saw today at The Homemade Treats 😊

What does 'Bread of the Dead' (pan de mu**to) mean? 🕯💮🏵💀

Although the stories vary, pan de mu**to traces its roots to the time of the Spanish conquistadors in the early 1500’s. Some accounts state it originated in Mesoamerica, when the Aztecs made a type of bread with amaranth, honey as an offering to the gods.

Today, there are between 750 and more than 1,200 different kinds of pan de mu**to throughout the country, depending on the source. Each region of Mexico has their own version that incorporates special ingredients and shapes like human figures, angels, sheep, hearts, liras (stringed instruments), and hojaldras—the classic round pan de mu**to dusted with white sugar.

Each type of pan de mu**to is filled with symbolism. For the classic hojaldra, its round shape symbolizes the circle of life and death. The ball on top represents the skull of the deceased. And the pieces that lay across the bread in the shape of a cross signify their bones and tears.

The portions of the cross—or compass—are believed to aim at four cardinal points, each ruled by an Aztec god: Quetzalcóatl (god of light and wind), Xipe Tótec (god of death and rebirth), Tláloc (god of rain and storms) and Tezcatlipoca (god of darkness and sorcery).
