A great way to join the fine Mexican tradition of celebrating death with lively commemorations using bright colors in food, flower and costumes.

I have come down with a sneezy sort of cold. I managed to rally enough on Sunday to make this cinnamon swirl cake. It's from a mix and I added some extra fancy cinnamon which was given to me by Cinnamon (thanks again!). The results: I can report that one boxed mix will make plenty of cake to fill both sides of the skull cake pan. Tastewise, however, you're better off making a coffee cake from scratch, if you have the energy. And now I'm going back to bed where I can be pitiful and feel sorry for myself while eating cake. ...

I can't resist posting that again, either.
