A Sugar Skull is a decorative skull made from sugar, often used in the celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico. These colorful skulls are typically adorned with vibrant icing and represent deceased loved ones. They are often placed on altars, known as ofrendas, to honor and remember those who have passed away. Sugar skulls come in various sizes and designs, reflecting the personality of the deceased. While they are primarily made for decorative purposes, they can also be eaten as a sweet treat. The tradition emphasizes the celebration of life and the remembrance of the dead.
