Making And Decorating Chocolate Calaveritas

A member of the Jimenez Piza family, originally from the State of Toluca and who live in the Barrio San Lucas in the Xochimilco district in the southernmost part of Mexico City, moves chocolate melted in a bain-marie with a shovel to make Chocolate Skulls. According to historical data, sugar skulls were made from alfenique and then changed to chocolate, using a confection originating in Spain, whose technique for handling it was most likely adopted from the Arab tradition. Alfenique is created from a mixture of cane sugar with egg whites, water and lemon juice. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
