Sugar Skull for Erzulie Freda
I know, I'm mixing up Mexican and voodoo culture. But they're pretty compatible if you research it. So there are traditional Mexican sugar skull motifs mixed with images from common Erzulie Freda (Erzuli Danto) véves.
The challenge was working on these small skulls, which are not really sugar skulls but are white chocolate, 1¾" in their longest dimension. After my then-wife's disastrous attempt on Nov 1st I wanted to apply my toothpick technique to see if I could succeed. I'm pretty happy with it.
Incidentally, my approach is to put a blob of frosting onto the wax paper and mix it up with a toothpick. When the toothpick comes away there's usually a fine strand of frosting dangling from its tip, which I drag into place.
