UAEMéx students innovate in traditional pan de muerto competition

Four students from the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMéx) have been selected to represent the institution in the State Pan de Muerto Contest, organized by the Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Huixquilucan.

The selection followed an internal competition held by the Faculty of Tourism and Gastronomy, which featured 16 teams. Participants were required to create both a traditional pan de muerto and an original version using a surprise basket of ingredients.

Winning teams included Nathiely Figueroa Alejandre and María Isabel Córdova Gómez, who prepared a version with rose petals and raspberry, as well as Cristal Cuevas Espinosa and Luis Adrián Hernández Torres, who utilized pistachio and vanilla bean.
