You could argue that milk chocolate tastes better, but if the main goal of this cake is taste then there's no point putting in the effort to make it skull shaped. Maybe the desired effect was a chocolate-covered skull, rather than just a skull? I wonder why milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.

For some reason, I resisted the temptation to buy one when I was there. “You know, “sweet things” like this would sell well on November 1 in Mexico, si?

The mother of the family bought us a pair of 3D sugar skulls, one with my gf's name iced-on and one with mine. Kinda cool, kinda creepy. I guess they would be a lot more creepy if someone else had given them to us. Why thanks Mr Janitor... they're real nice... *backing away*.... reeeeaaaaal nice... RUN!

The cake is based on said design. Regarding the 3-dimensional comment, well yeah, but the designs could be 2D (painted on) or 3D (as part of the cake's form).

It seems that baking may be more fundamental than I had thought in the order of things: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10471599.stm Perhaps I ought to do some baking right now.
