Cupcake Soaps – Natural Soap made with goatsmilk

Some pics of our latest handmade cupcake soaps available online here.

 

Patchouli, Lavender and Lime is an essential oil only blend for those who only want essential oils. The scent being really nice and relaxing with sparkling lime, the Patchouli gives the scent blend depth and character. We think it is really nice and refreshing.

 

Floral Bouquet Cupcake Soap – was called French Hussy last time this blend was used. It smells really nice and floral like a huge flower garden. The soap is a goats milk one.

 

 

Smells more of Berry than Cherry, it’s packed full of a mixture of berry scents and is really nice. If you love anything berry then give this one a try.

Absolutely yummy this is one of our in house blends of Citrus and Chocolate. Within the citrus notes you can smell Mandarin, Tangerine and Orange, the chocolate is a well rounded lovely scent that also has slight cake notes. This is not like the typical Jaffa smell that is out there, we wanted something different.

 

Handmade Natural Soap Cake – Wedding Style Le Rose Cake

Years ago I would never have dreamed that I could achieve something like this in soap.
This soap cake started off with watching Ishbel from Puro Soaps on a video. I thought OK I will revisit piping free form roses, have done it some time ago but was not happy with the results.

Well after piping tons of different sized roses in cp, because I am determined to master them. I decided some could go into a cake and this is what it led me to make.

The timing has to be perfect for making one of these otherwise the layers and embellishments will not meld together, they will fall apart when it is cut or cured. This one turned out excellent in this aspect, so happy that I never got any crazing in the soap either.

After curing the soap has all turned white

A cake for Mother on Mothers Day

This started off with making my Mum a soap cake for Mothers Day for her, I asked her to draw her cake. It’s has 3 layers inside it with icing in between and icing all around the outside then piped. I have called it Thai Princess because it’s in her current favorite scent Thai Rice. The layers inside are purple with white and pale tan

This is Mum’s cake so what she doesn’t keep will be given to her friends, some of whom are caring for elderly terminally ill partners.

Cherry Ripe – Cherry Soda Pop Cola style soap.

After making the Strawberry Jam soap I was well my scent buds were craving something Cherry. It had to be Cherry not that fake smell that cherry can sometimes emit, I think it is the almond smell that they mix in it. Well I don’t like that bitter smell, it’s not my cup of tea.

So I started digging around in my scent stash and came across a good cherry base and then started adding to it and ended up with a really nice Cherry Pop or soft drink style smell that had sparkle. I then just had this brain wave to add chocolate to it and into my head popped a bar of Cherry Ripe. Now Cherry Ripe is not one of my totally to die for chocolates, I love Lindt Chocolate or Ferrero Rocher but these are different.

Well back to it I then went and searched my other stash of embeds and had enough soap Cherries and bits and bobs to do the job and off I went into creative soapy land.

It was storming with thunder and lightning while I was making it, I hoped the power would not go out during the day.

That night at around midnight the power went out and with no air conditioner on in the bedroom it was impossible to sleep the temperature was 27deg celcius (80.6 deg F) and no fan either, so what else to do. Go grab a torch and head on over to the workshop to check on the soap. I scrounged around and found some old candles from when I used to make them and lit quite a few to get enough light and then proceeded to cut the soap via candle light. Crazy fun.

Here is the finished product, it does look desert like and I had to come over in totally darkness and cut the soap I could not wait. Now in daylight here is the pic it is so much better.lol
