Designs typical of this type of ceramics originated on vases, plates, and fruit bowls; this year , they were incorporated into the Day of the Dead season and lent their beauty to the pan de muerto that Croque Voyage bakery prepared for 2026. The classic recipe remains on the menu, though you can also try other options that include ingredients such as guava, prickly pear, and dragon fruit.
This edition features four panes de muerto that double as small edible works of art. The Talavera Vanilla-Mezcal ($90) is perhaps the most eye-catching: hand-painted with cobalt blue strokes on a white glaze, it features dough scented with orange blossom and a hint of vanilla and mezcal.
The Pitahaya-Tuna ($85) achieves that signature Mexican pink without a single artificial food coloring, using the natural pigments of both fruits for a glossy glaze. The Guava and Diplomática ($85), a reinterpretation of one of the shop’s best-selling rolls, is filled with cream featuring the characteristic tart sweetness of guava. And the traditional pan de muerto ($65) stays true to its roots: orange blossom, orange zest, and butter.
To accompany it, the bakery has prepared a thick, hot champurrado with pinole, designed for dipping the bread.
All pieces can be purchased in an individual gift box (+$20) or a double gift box (+$30), ideal for placing on the altar or sharing.
