Okay. Thank you! I appreciate the information!!! :)

I will look them up and give it a try! :) Thanks.

I haven't tried cornstarch yet. Almost all the recipes have been playing with the oils and butters. I tried whipping the last one, but the recipe wasn't the best for it, and it didn't work. I'm hoping the shea butter recipe will whip better and possibly be lighter.

I guess I'm looking for a body butter that just isn't so greasy and absorbs relatively quickly. In my head, I clump them all in the same place. I'm trying to stay away from the emulsifiers and preservatives, as I've had a lot of skin issues and the stuff w/o that sort of thing is what helps...

Okay, I'm looking for some help! I've been trying to make a lotion that I like for the last three years. I've found things that work, but they are so heavy I can't wear them except at night. So, does anyone have a recipe they'd be willing to share for something light that is more the...

Those are so pretty! I'd be interested in seeing how they turn out. :)

Beautiful!

freezing is next on my list to try. Right now I think I've just got to get the thickness right, then I'll try that! At the moment, the mold is really flexible, and I lay them flat, soap side down and basically roll back the mold. It works 50% of the time. One of them is a bit more open than the...

They're made on a sugar veil mat for cupcake decorations. I'm still working on the best way to get them out - sometimes my method is fine, sometimes they're all breaking. :)

Made some of these today - I'm quite pleased with how they turned out! They're vanilla scented. They're clear glycerin (Going to make the next batch with goats milk M&P) so they're a bit hard so see - hence the tin background.

Thanks! We'll give it a try! :)

Ok. I would like to make some cupcake soaps, and I'm planning to make some CP ones, but I wondered if there is a way to make the frosting from M&P or if it has to have the foaming soap in it. I hope that question makes sense - its a bit late and I'm not sure I am!

Okay. I did the rebatch on Sunday, adding the missing olive oil and a couple tablespoons of milk, cooking it down until fully melted, then cooking until the edges were translucent, and then cooking for a couple hours after. The color never changed, the texture was like thin mashed potatoes, and...

Thanks everyone! I really want to try more. Its becoming a problem. lol.

I like them both! The stripes seem pretty, but I actually like the confetti soap. It almost looks like granite. :)

That's awesome!!! I love the colors and the web pattern!

That is awesome! LOVE IT!

And the result! I believe it has glycerin rivers (only in the middle three pieces though... not sure why), but it isn't too bad considering how fast it set up and it was a first attempt. I'll take it!

Thanks! I figured it would only be a little, if any. We'll try it and see, I guess!

Today I tried a swirl (and made sure I put ALL the ingredients in!). Here's the inital pic of the soap - I wish now I'd only used one color, as the second got more blue grey than I intended. It also accelerated quickly, so I'm not sure how well it swirled, but tomorrow, we will see! (sorry...
