Sugar Skull Class with Nathalie Herling
Come make edible Sugar Skulls for your El Dia de los Muertos Altar in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Nathalie Herling will teach a class and offer you hands on instructions so you can make Mexican Sugar Skulls. This workshop will be for adults. Make Sugar skulls for all your future Day of the Dead celebrations.
Over the course of the morning will make different size sugar skulls using molds. After the skulls dry we will decorate. All participants will be taking home a good amount of skulls to decorate their own home altars.

While we decorate the skull with bright color sugar frosting, sequins and various craft supplies. Bring names of novios and friends you would like to dedicate your skulls too and a small box to transport your new skulls.
