When are the pictures of my April 2024 Challenge entry due, and what other information, is required, if anything? Thanks!

Hi @Sudds - go back to post 1 in this thread and you’ll find all the details. Based on it, I believe the entry thread will open tomorrow’ ish. I just took pics of my entry tonight. Can’t wait to see what you made.

 

[Sudds]

Thanks a million! you are soooo far ahead of me! I tried something today and it didn't work out, so think I fixed the coloring problem so will reheat the M&P and see if the color is right tomorrow. I keep changing my mind on EVERYTHING!!!

Me too, decisions, decisions! I finally had to draw a line in the sand and stop overthinking it! We aren't going to win a million dollars!

@Sudds looking forward to seeing your entry (and all the others)! Keep in mind this rule from post #1:

The soap can be hot processed or cold processed, and can contain some melt and pour decorations/embeds, but not be a melt and pour soap in the main body.

 

[Zuleika]

If only I could combine my attempt 1 and attempt 2 together. As it is, I'm abandoning them both in favor of cupcakes I made last week using leftover batter. Gonna frost them this wkend and see how they end up.

@AliOop, love your entry, I could eat it, yum.

 

[AliOop]

@AliOop, love your entry, I could eat it, yum.

If you could smell it, you'd really want to eat it! Smells just like fresh-baked cake, with whiff of a coffee somewhere nearby.

 

[Vicki C]

These cakes are amazing - hoping I can get to my idea in the next few days. Have some tedious things to take care of.

 

[Mobjack Bay]

Wow, those cake soaps are fantastic!

AliOop, can I use a M&P as a small part of a layer? Would that be considered an embed? Please tell me yes!

That's up to our challenge hostess, @KiwiMoose. She's on NZ time so it is likely to be a few hours before she responds.

I'm awake now - Monday morning here. Yes, as an embed, or part of a layer that is fine. Just as long as the main 'cake' mixture is CP or HP.

We've had grandkids here for three days and I admit I'm exhausted, but I could have sworn it was Thursday here. Did you find an actual time machine, or am I seriously out of whack?

LOL - I just realised it is Friday morning here. I've been off work for two weeks leave, and it's my first day back today. So it seems like Monday. Haha - sorry to scare you!
