Before I go into the review I wanted to say that I'm a BzzAgent from Bzzagent.com and I received a coupon for a free Nature's Own product. Let's move on! I was really excited when I received my coupon in the mail. This is my first campaign and I couldn't wait to jump on it. With the coupon I bought Nature's Own 100% whole wheat bread because we mostly eat wheat bread at my house and it was a perfect choice. The first thing I did as soon as I got home was to make toasted sandwiches and I gotta say they were very good. The bread by itself has a different taste from other wheat breads I've tasted, I can't really describe the taste but it was really good. I was very happy with the product. I really want to try the other kinds of breads that they have and see if they are as good. I think you guys should give it a try and see how it compares from the bread you guys usually buy.

Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls
I finally have pictures of the sugar skulls I made for today. It took me sometime because I live in a really small town in the mountains where there isn't a craft store. So I had to go down the hill to find all of the things I needed and since I didn't pay attention to the ingredients I ended up missing the most important one of all. Anyways here's the link, Mexican Sugar Skulls, where I found the recipe and the ingredients it was very useful.
Here's a real quick overview of the ingredients and materials I used. Most can be found at grocery stores but the rest at craft stores like Joann and Michaels.

- Granulated Sugar
- Meringue Powder (the most important of all because otherwise the sugar won't hold)
- Water
- Skull molds of any size.
- Wilton Royal Icing Mix
- Food Coloring
- Decorating Pastry Bags
- Beads,Feathers,Sequins and anything else to decorate.
This is how they looked before I decorated them.
Some of the little skulls I decorated.
One of the bigger skulls I made.
I used eatable markers to decorate this one.
This one is the final altar with the candles, the sugar skull and the skeletons.
Oh I almost forgot, you can eat the sugar skulls except I would only eat the mini skulls because it's too much sugar.
