Chocolate

[ca_soap]

This is a chocolate soap that I poured yesterday. Loving the colors. The white will go tan, the tan will darken and the black, well it is what it is.

Pretty! You should do it again with the same colors and a FO that won't discolor that is awesome looking! Can't wait to see how it matures.

[renata]

Seven, I used Brambleberry's "dark rich chocolate" FO. I added unsweetened powdered cocoa for the tan color and black oxide powder for the black. I've had numerous people say it smells like brownie batter and of course I would have to agree with them. The FO also behaves very well in CP, it accelerates just slightly at the quantity I use, (4ml PPO). That gives it a strong enough scent to smell it well but not be overbearing.

May I ask what swirl technique that is?

 

[Ellacho]

Love swirls!!! Beautiful!

Moon Bath, I'm not sure what it is called but I did it by dropping alternate colors by spoonfuls from 6-8 inches high.

I had at least one person ask that I post additional pictures to show the color change as it cures. Here it is with just a little over a week of cure time on it and the colors have already started to change a bit. I will add more later as I still expect the light to darken a bit more and the brown to become a bit deeper, darker brown.

The second picture here is the original for comparison purposes

They look like they smell delicious. I love your swirls.

Looks like a price of fudge! Actually, chocolate is my First LOVE! I would not want that soap in my house else, I will be in the hospital!!!

Very nice soaps! Who cares what color it is or ages to!

 

[ca_soap]

Again, as I had a request to show pictures of this soap as it cured, here it is at 3 weeks cure.

So when are you going use it? It actually looks more chocolaty ( if that's even a word ) it looks like different colors are like different types of chocolate! Yummmm.

See what you have done!

Eating these now!!!!!
