Bubble Scoops

[cmzaha]

I am not asking anyone for their recipes just asking if anyone can lead me in the direction of finding a decent recipe? I need another product for my booth during the summer months, since my crochet hats do not sell well in summer. My daughter made bubble bar from Soap Queen recipe and did not like them at all. Any help or suggestions would be fully appreciated

Ill private message you mine. Its a good one. You can scoop them with an ice cream scoop or roll them out and shape them.

Thankyou so much, they look like fun, unlike bath bombs which I hate making.

I got all the supplies to make the soap queen bubble bar ones ages ago, but hadn't got round to making any. Carolyn do you know what she didn't like about them ? I thought of making some for prezzies, instead of giving soap all the time.

I had the same problem !
I have a bunch of ingredients that I am trying to figure out what to do with.
Love making the scoops and was thinking of doing Bath Bomb scoops.
I kinda of want to use up this Glycerine I bought...
I suppose someone wouldn't want to pm me too or a variation, not exact

I will ask her tomorrow. I think they became really hard and they would not break up easily, will find out

I bought the bubble bar recipe from Two Wild Hares - I saw a lot of free online recipes with mixed reviews, this one consistently had good reviews. It was worth not having to screw around with recipes that didn't work and pay for the recipe. (I know some may not feel that way, please don't judge harshly.) I have used other people's scoops, and do not like them as much as this one. They are firm enough to withstand traveling, but easy enough to use. The only customer who has problems is my friend who has had carpal tunnel surgery twice and is about to go in for round 3. She puts hers in a muslin bag and holds it under the running water for 10-20 seconds then she can start mushing it around.

I use the recipe from Two Wild Hares as well. I've never had it fail, although I admit I don't make them too often. Carolyn, I think I remember you have a moon cake press. If so, bubble bars are beautiful in them. If you join the Moon Cake Cult FB group, there are a lot of recipes in the files there. People seem happy with the bubble bar recipe.

Well, let's hope this link works https://www.facebook.com/groups/571871349604019/

If it doesn't, just search FB groups for Moon Cake Cult

 

[Relle]

Thanks, it works, they are a closed group and you have to own a moon cake press to join .

I am a member of the Moon Cult and have been toying with making some with my moon press. Yes I do have some. Do you happen to know which recipe in their files works well? I think there are recipes from two different members.

Have you ever tried the TWH recipe with a moon press?

I use the TWH recipe with the moon cake press. I haven't tried any from the files, but it seems like Judy's and Lana's are both popular. I can't share the TWH recipe, but I can tell you it uses a bit more SLSa that the moon cake recipe, but doesn't use any cocamidopropyl bentiane (WSP bubble up). I don't sell, so the cost difference is negligible enough for me.

Royalty Soaps has a good video on making bubble bars using the TWH recipe, and I do it pretty much like that. I have a dedicated bowl and paddle attachment for my stand mixer. I roll the dough into 64-65 gram balls (seems right for 1 bath, and I think 50 grams would actually be enough), and rub just a whisper of baking soda over the top that will be in contact with the press. I also dust the inside of the press with baking soda, and have baking soda on a plate or paper towel that I push the plate into before putting the dough in the press. If the dough is too sticky and gets into the plate, I just change that out. I do sprinkle the top with a bit of glitter, but only a very little - just enough to add a little sparkle. Spritz the top with rubbing alcohol and let dry for a day. Then flip them over and let them dry for another day. It takes a bit of practice to get the 'feel' of the dough, but it isn't hard. If it was, I'd have given up. I'm pretty sure I would make a mess of the jelly roll style. I also prefer mine to be more pastel in color, so I just use a little mica to color them.

It seems that shower steamers are also popular. I haven't tried them yet.

The shower steamers are super popular and I always have people ask me for them and they literally take 15 minutes to make 2 dozen of them. My Menthol, Eucalyptus and Peppermint ones are their favorite even though I make them also in Lavender and many other essential oils blends. When people are sick they call me for them ALOT! - I have every moon cake size they make and also make Epsom salt cakes for the bath with my large moon cake press. Ive been using the Epsom salts that already have scents in them and it makes it much easier. Some have Shea butter as well - Dr teals make a million of them. They are also fun and work well but you have to make them to order or they get too hard to melt right in the tub for some reason. Yeah the moon cake thing has endless possibilities.

I used the soap queen recipe and they do three weeks to dry, In March in Minnesota, with a fan in the room. Never again, far too much Glycerin in the recipe I think.

 

[Lin19687]

That is why I didn't' like hers, well one of them.
The glycerin seems to take a long time to dry for me.
Then i gave up. I have a FM coming up and I need to put something else on the table so I was thinking Bubble scoops would be better then bath bombs

What about bath melts?

 

[Lin19687]

I thought about those but the idea of that much oil slick on the tub worries me.

I am going over my notes from a couple months ago and will be trying things today since it is dry outside.
Going to be 90's and humid on Monday

 

[msunnerstood]

One more thought what about wax tarts?
Super easy to makeAnd you could make up quite an inventory in a short amount of time

What size of scoop are you using?
