Ave and I wanted to wish you all a Happy Halloween and a heartfelt Día de Los Muertos to all our latino friends and family!
Día de Los Muertos is one of the most important days of the year in Bolivia. Bolivian families celebrate, commemorate and give their farewells to all the dead who visit on this one special day. Cakes, popcorn, candies and fruits are offered to nourish the spirit in their journey back to the afterlife, and there’s mostly a lot of bread baked in their honor. It’s a delicious celebration for both spirits and the living!
And so it became a yearly tradition for my friend María and me to gift each other the best T’antawawas (bread babies) every Day of the Dead, which we would gobble up because they are yummy sweet bread.
In honor of Día de Los Muertos and Halloween, I offer you all a symbolic t’antawawa! May you and your families enjoy the holiday. 🙂

Happy Halloween to you too. I can’t believe Halloween is only a few days away.
Those bread babies look a little bit creepy, but I’m sure they are delicious! I promised to Sofia that we have a small Halloween party this year 😉
Thank you for the info on this holiday! I enjoy learning how other countries celebrate. I bet the house smells great with all the bread baking!!
I love hearing of Holiday traditions in other countries. Thanks for sharing! I love bread, so I think I’d really enjoy the “bread babies”.
We are going trick or treating for Halloween, making some goodies, carving some pumpkins, pretty typical. Although we don’t celebrate it, I know a bit about Dia de los Muertos.
