On Saturdays I usually go to "Cielito Querido", a Mexican coffee shop chain that is a competitor of Starbucks, to buy a cappuccino for our cleaning lady. Last weekend I noticed that they already had "muertitos" in their case.
"Muertitos", which literally translates as "little dead people", are a variation of the traditional "pan de muerto" which is served during the Day of the Dead season. The bread dough is shaped into the form of little people or animals.
We have seven weeks until Day of the Dead. Let's at least get through Mexican Independence Day (September 16th) before pushing Day of the Dead!
