About Día de Muertos
Día de Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is a Mexican holiday that honors deceased loved ones. The celebration is believed to originate from indigenous cultures such as the Aztecs, who believed that death was not the end but rather a continuation of life in a different form.
The holiday is celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd, which coincides with the Catholic All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. During this time, families create elaborate altars, or ofrendas, decorated with marigolds, candles, and food offerings to welcome the spirits of their loved ones back to the world of the living.
Día de Muertos is a time for remembrance and celebration, not mourning. It is a time to honor the lives of those who have passed, and to keep their memory alive. Many communities hold parades, dances, and other festivities during the holiday, with colorful costumes and skull face painting.

I loved the workshop!! My husband & I loved going to the class. We will definitely come again!
Thank you for the amazing class! Even though the bread proofing took a long time, thanks to skull decorating and snacks it passed so quickly. I can’t wait to recreate the recipes at home again
I had a really great time and absolutely loved the bread. It was so delicious.
Really really want to join the Mexican food workshop next time😁I had a really great time. Thank you Vanessa!
It was so much fun! I’d love to do more craft making or cooking workshops!
