So pretty! I love the sprinkled look.

Those are cute! I love the sprinkles!

Those are great! Did you scent them?

 

[krissy]

i scented it with Tahitian Melon. it smells very pretty and the scent lingers on your skin when you use the bombs...

Pretty! I tried the oven once and found they didn't fizzle afterwards. Has that been your experience?

 

[krissy]

no, so far i have found that they get hard faster. but i have never done bombs this big before. i usually do tiny little flower shaped ones. i guess i neeeeed to go test one out tomorrow. darn! i am forced to go relax in a nice tub of hot water for research purposes...

Yes you do.

krissy -

You'll just have to force yourself into that tub tomorrow and suffer for your art. Sometimes, you have to make sacrifices. :wink:

looks great! i keep wanting to make bombs just have not had time yet

 

[ChrissyB]

They look great!
Can someone please tell me more about this oven method?
Because it's so humid over here I have had no success with bath bombs at all.
Would they work in the oven because it's a dry heat as opposed to a moist humid heat?

Oh those are loveeeeeeeleeeeeee :0) likewise Chrissy I haven't even tried to make these as too many here say the same thing :0) just too humid and especially at the moment feels like living in a swamp today so thick and heavy must have a storm coming :0)

@Chrissy~ i dont really have a "method", i just wanted to try to dry them out a bit faster since it was snowing here, so i put them in my confection oven at about 150* for half an hour. i dont know if it helps them or not but today they are hard and i was thinking about wrapping them in shrink wrap to keep them from getting soft...

I'll definitely try this oven method. I too like Chrissy am in Aust & its so darn humid here I cannot make a decent bomb to save myself. I've tried probably 10 batches of late & every single one gets warty. I've just about given up to b honest....... perhaps one more...

 

[krissy]

ok, so i tried to get them "just a tad harder" and put them back in the oven for a little while. :? i took them out and tried to pick one up and it fell apart when i touched it. so being the nut i am, i tried the next one and the next one. i now have a beautiful bag of powdered bath soak because they are all back to being dry and powdery. :roll:

i threw in some plain sea salts and some epsom salts and put the whole ting in a gallon sized bag.

I love them! The scent sounds really good, too. What are the sprinkles? Jojoba beads?

 

[krissy]

no tasha, they are sprinkles! lol, the kind you put on cookies. they dissolve almost as fast as the bombs do...
