Dia de Muerto is a celebration to honor departed family members.

People celebrate those who have passed by putting up altars decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and their favorite foods and drinks.

Alma and Diana Lopez, co-owners of Cakes by Edith, say Pan de Muerto (Bread of the dead) is a significant part of the altar.

At their bakery, they make the bread from scratch with a recipe from Mexico, with a few special touches to make it unique.
