Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees F (approx 95 degrees C). Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a bowl, combine sugar, water and extract of your choice. Using your fingers, combine everything really well until it feels like slightly wet sand.

Take the mold and pack the sugar really well, pushing with your fingers until every space of the mold is filled up. Turn them over carefully on the aluminum foil-prepared baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes.

Take them out of the oven and let them cool down, approx 30 minutes.

Open your icing tubes and start decorating. If you need inspiration, check out my photos or visit my sugar skulls board on Pinterest.

You can use colors and designs as you wish, every skull is expected to be unique. If you don’t have all the colors, try mixing the ones you have, I made purple out of blue and red, for example.

Let the skulls dry completely and they will be ready to be displayed or eaten.
