PLEASE READ ALL CLASS POLICIES AT THE BOTTOM OF CLASS DESCRIPTION BEFORE MAKING YOUR PURCHASE.

In this class you will learn to make this time-honored bread offering baked during Dia De Los Muertos festivities, celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd each year. Pan de Muerto reflects the fusion of two worlds, pre-Hispanic and Spanish and is traditionally placed on altars and graves as a welcoming gesture to the spirits of passed loved ones who are believed to visit us on Earth during this time.

Day of the Dead celebrations are full of symbolism with each “offering” on an altar having a particular meaning and purpose. Pan de Muerto is no different, with its shape representing the cycle of life and death, the small ball on top symbolizing the skull surrounded by four canelillas, which symbolize the bones and tears shed by those who are no longer with us. Pan de muerto comes in many regional forms and is baked and eaten all over Mexico. Come learn a new skill and the meanings behind these beautiful traditions! 

About your instructor & BSM Education Center Co-Director, Nadia Rodriguez:

I got my culinary degree in 2018 but have been working in the culinary industry for 10 years now, with both savory and pastry experience. My passion for cooking started early with my grandmother, and I believe cooking is sharing love. I adore Italian, Asian and Latin cuisines. I love to curate flavors for individuals and make something unique and one of a kind. I love sharing the knowledge I have gained and showing how amazing ingredients such as Barton Springs Mill flour and the attitude you bring toward those ingredients can truly transform food into an experience. My ethos is to have fun, do it with love, and you can't go wrong. :)
