Mini Soap Cake

I love making soap cakes and cupcakes which is still fairly new to me. It's quite nice doing something more artsy and creative than just a bar of soap. This one (there are 6 total) smells so yummy that I want to eat it! I used a yummy chocolate scent in this batch that smells like hot cocoa and used avocado oil in my recipe for the first time which made the soaps really soft and took longer than usual to remove from the mold. I'm working on tweaking the recipe a bit to harden it up more. I posted this photo on my Facebook business page and already sold one which always makes me happy needless to say! I'm keeping 2 to cut into sample cake slices since the bottoms got slightly dented while coming out of the mold. I'm also still trying to come up with a name for this batch as well... any suggestions?

Green With Envy

Cold process soap finished with soap safe glitter and sugar pearls and scented with Eucalyptus & Spearmint fragrance oil.

Royalty Soaps Review- Butterfly Fantasy Soap

OMG is all I can say. The soap came perfectly packaged in a shrink wrap with her really cute business card. The labels on front and back of the soap told me everything I needed to know about the soap and her company which is perfect.

The soap itself brought back memories of my days dating my then first love in 1987 because he always showed up with Sweet Tart candies in hand for me and this is exactly what the soap smells like. It's bright and lovely with it's Rainbow layers of color, it's nice and big so if I wanted to I could cut it in half to make two good size half bars. The top reaches high and was expertly done and looks like a whipped topping on a dessert. An adorable butterfly embed sits quaintly on top of the "fluff" and sparkly glitter complete the look.

I immediately took it into my bathroom (which is also butterfly themed and pink among other colors) and tested it. The lather was so silky and luxurious that I didn't want to stop rubbing it into my hands. It rinsed cleanly with a smooth and moisturizing feel. I'm in awe. Katie is one very talented young lady and I highly recommend making a purchase from her. Here is her shop on Etsy.

Thank you Duchess of Suds... keep up the royal work that you do!

Recent Soaps

The first is English Ale beer soap made with Guinness Draught and the second is Grey Skies done via hot process (HP) method, scented with eucalyptus and spearmint and activated charcoal for color. Both smell amazing and I'm really happy with how they turned out!

English Ale Beer Soap

Here it is resting in it's mold for a couple of days before cutting...

Thinking...

Beer Soap Complete!

My beer soap I'm calling English Ale Soap is complete. The beer fragrance is SPOT ON! I feel drunk just from being in this room where I made it lol! I will post pics tomorrow as I'm too tired to right now. I can't unmold and cut it for a couple of days anyway. Man does it smell good!

Tonight!

Tonight's the night! The Guinness Stout is finally ready and so am I. Beer soap will be made tonight (finally)! I am really excited to be using my new Beer fragrance oil for this recipe. I will post photos when I'm done and it will of course be another late night soaping session since I have to wait until my son is fast asleep to make any. :)

Hops 'n Suds Beer Soap Prep

I've got my Guinness beer sitting out for a few days to help get rid of the carbonation and then I can boil it then freeze it before making the soap with it. So I'll be making the soap sometime this weekend. I'm excited to be doing this one because I have several people interested in it already which is great! I'll be doing several batches of it because I'm also going to be a vendor at the 1st Annual Boobstock in AL in September, which will be helping to raise money for the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. A great cause and I'm tickled to be a part of it!

WOOT! Lookie What Came Today!

Can't Wait to Try This!

I have just ordered a beautiful soap to try by the lovely Katie at Royalty Soaps! I absolutely cannot wait to give it a try. I have followed Katie and her company for many months now on Facebook, here on Blogger, and her You Tube channel. As a fellow soap maker, I look to others for inspiration, delight in their creations and technique, and love to sample what they have to offer. I'm interested in the types of ingredients they use, the fragrances and/or essential oils, how their soaps will feel on my skin. I will post an update to this after I receive my soap from Royalty Soaps and use it. :)

Here is the Butterfly Garden soap I ordered from her. <3
