The making of: Guaguas de pan at the Pan de Casa Bakery. Originally, tanta wawa (Guaguas de pan translated in english as bread child) were made to represent children who had died, and the people that celebrated All Souls Day (Dia de los muertos) wanted to honor and remember them. Tanta wawa are consumed on November 2 all over the Andean region. They are eaten with colada morada. They are made by families and exchanged among groups of family and friends and given to godchildren. In rural cemeteries and indigenous communities, such as Tungurahua Province, they are used as offerings as part of a ceremony of encounter with ones ancestors.
