Well, I have a question too. How do you make that very thin layaer of sparkling gold mica between two soap layers? It looks SO pretty!

Thanks!!! I appreciate all replies. I'm sure now to start with 2lb recipe and go with selicon mold for now (maybe 2 or 3 :lol: , to have a variety)

But how do you cut CP soap? Is it softer than M&P or just about the same? Can I use just a regular cutter (simple dough cutter with wooden handle) that I use for my M&P?

Thanks Tasha! I didn't even think about silicone molds. I use them all the time for M&P, but it didn't cross my mind for CP. Thanks again!

Hi ChrisShepp, Thanks for your post and I appreciate your advices! I'm aware of the whole process of CP and been studying it for couple months, reading, waching video and etc. I'm not worry of the size of the mold. With dividers I can make small baches as well (actually I was going to start...

Hi everyone! I'm stuck with the decision. Bramble Berry has new birch mold for 18 or 36 bars. It is with devider and soaps come out nice and even. One minus - it is hard to do two or three different soaps at the same time, as deviders do not touch the bottom of the mold completly, so the soap...

I actually went to Michaels yesterday, I had 40% off from Jo Ann and 25% from the purchase. And I got lucky and the cashier run both cupons. So I got 2 soap molds for under $4 :-)))

My two last batches... I really liked it! And I sold all of my soap that I did at the beginning. Those "swirly" bars and I made some hearts for Valentine's Day. All gone!!! I'm so excited!!! I also bought a heat gun. (Cheap, $25 at Amazon, nothing fancy and it works great!) I'm thinking to...

Thank you!!! It took me about 3 hours. Here are my mistakes (as I think): - I got dry color instead of liquid. I needed more time to mix them them to pour into the soap baches. - On the video on Youtube Anne-Maria said to melt all soap right away. Big mistake. As it was first time for...

Thanks! And now I'm broke. :lol: I just placed another order :lol:

Aaaaaa, I'm so excited!!!!! I get the soap out first thing in the morning. Didn't even have my breakfast :lol:

I got it! I got it! I got my box today!!! (Where is the dancing smile? :lol: ) Ok, maybe swirling soap is not the project for the first time user :lol: But I did it! I used black cherry and coconat FO. You were right, them FO so yammyyyy, I just wanted to eat them! I really hope that it...

Thank you Carebear! I knew that molds are either for soap or baking, but not for both. That's why I went and bought those cheap containers as I didn't want to use my food molds. :D

Candybee, you're going to laugh, but that what I did yesterday - went to the dollar store and bought those containers just for $4.20 :lol: I'm thinking to do the swirl soap in the baking loaf mold first and see how that will go. Do I need to put some wax paper before pour the soap?

Thank you everyone! I ordered just plain white and clear soaps, sample kits of fragrances, pigments and micas. Yay, can't sit still! :lol: Now, I got question about mold. Does it really matter if the silicone mold is for cupcakes for instance, i.e. food approved? Can I still use it for...

Thank you so much for your posts! I was actually deciding about the sample kit from Bramble Berry. I've wached her episodes on Youtube and she makes it look so easy and fun, that I can't wait till I get my stuff. :lol: I'd like to start with M&P first. See, if it is mine or not.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the soap making and I've been searching for the info for about couple weeks. I'd like to make my first soap, M&P, as that what they recomend to do first. And I'm totaly lost here. My thought was to get a starter kit, like this one and couple of molds. Does anyone has...
