Soap Cupcakes

So I decided to make a dozen little cupcakes last night after my son went to bed. For some reason it took forever. I normally love working with soap using room temperature lye and oil. Mainly because it gives me time to work with it and be a little creative. Last night though it took forever for it to stiffen up for the icing part (or at least it seemed like it). I took quite a few pics and will post them tonight.

These will be my attention getter's for the craft show. Last craft show I had the cupcakes and a bunt cake soap. They drew people to my stall and ususally they purchased some sort of soap.

I used a 7up pound cake scent from natures garden for these. They deal more with candels but they have fragrance oil for soap also.

Lavander and Rosemary soap

I decided to divide up the lavender and rosemary into two batches. The first batch of soap I decided to go all natural. What I mean by all natural is no additives and colorants. It makes for a plain looking soap but I prefer that. I ground some of the fresh lavender and infused it in my olive oil for 2 days. I Ground some more of it and as my soap was just about to go into the molds I add it and some Lavender EO. After putting the lavender into the molds I then topped it with lavender flowers. I must say the soap smells wonderful. Below is the result.





I also decided to make some whipped soap using a combination of the lavender and rosemary. I like making whipped soap normally because it gives me time to play around with it. The cool temperatures of the lye and the oils create for a slower reaction. One of these days I will try to get some pics of the process and post that.

I did grind up the fresh lavender and rosemary together and add it to the soap as I blended it. I also added colorant and some Lavender and rosemary EO to this Batch. I love the pastel colors of whipped soap. It is still in the mold so All I have is pictures of that and not the cut bars. Will post those later.

I had a little extra as usual and had to put it in to a small square mold.

Introduction

Hi Everyone,

This is my first ever Blogg. I decided to start a blogg so that I could share my experience and learn from others about one of my passions """Soap""". When I say soap I mean Natural Cold Process Soap. I am a little into melt and pour also but mostly CP.

I may also post once in a while on my other love and that is polymer clay.

Here is one of my creations:

This particular soap is made with a process called whipped soap. Where the lye solution and the oils are all room tempreature. I enjoy this process mostly because I can use a little more creativity. I like to break out the cake decorationg bags and go a little wild. I used a imitation of Drakkar for the scent.

I have this soap in my web store www.abodynaturalsoap.com
