I Stumbled Upon your site the other day and saw the heart shaped bath bombs. I told my sister I thought they were sugar hearts and I wish I had a recipe for sugar skulls. And look where I Stumble today! :)
Fantastic site.

These are great! You can get all different kinds of sugar skull molds at www.mexicansugarskull.com.
No personal connection or plug here- I just bought some for my upcoming wedding and like the website a lot.

No, the almond extract isn't essential. You could use vanilla extract as an alternative.

Will this work without the almond extract? I want to make these for a friend but she's allergic.

No, they're super easy to decorate if you've got writing icing (hehe that rhymed). They measure about 2" by 2". I'm going to make some with clay so I can decorate my flat for Halloween.
