Somehow human skulls have a greater visual appeal than the other bones of the human skeleton. Skulls fascinate even as they repel. Skulls and bones associate with death and evil in European culture. They bring mystery, a sense of danger, and an adventurous vibe into modern design creating intriguing clothes, home furnishings, and food.
Some ancient societies had different associations with skulls and bones. Crystal skulls represent life, the honoring of humanity in the flesh, and the embodiment of consciousness. Sugar Skulls are traditional treats and folk art in Southern Mexico. These edible decorations and gifts are popular items while Mexican people celebrate the Day of the Dead.

White sugar skulls and bones, designed by art studio Snow Violent, are incredibly realistic and detailed sugar pieces. Just imagine taking a sip of your coffee or tea with a white skull staring at you through the dark liquid.

The Sugar Skulls and Bones are a series of uniquely shaped sugar cubes that make a spooky addition to any hot beverage. The sweet pieces can make surprising edible decorations for Halloween party tables. This unusual food design idea is a combination of ordinary material and creativity that reflect modern trends and dissolve into whimsical, unexpected, and delicious sugar cubes.
