trick or (traditional) treat

Today at school, we had a small fiesta in the teachers' club where they served traditional refreshments for this time of year: colada morada and guaguas de pan. These treats are specific to this time of the year, coinciding with the Day of the Dead celebration here in Ecuador. (Day of the Dead is like a combination of All Saints' Day and Memorial Day.) Colada morada is a thick drink made primarily of blackberries, with other fruits such as pineapple and flavored with cinnamon. It is usually served room temperature or warm. Guaguas de pan are sweet loaves of bread shaped liked people and decorated with icing. It was a nice treat to have today, and a great way to experience another side of the culture.*I would post recipes for both, but I can only find them in Spanish, and some of the ingredients don't translate.
