EEK HELP BATH BOMB GROWING OUT OF ITS MOULD!

[debbie.1969]

Hi really need some help i made cupcake bath bomb base i use

2 cup bicarb
1 cup citric
1TBSP almond oil
3 tsps fragrance
a few TBS coconut oil to bind
and a few spritz of whitch hazel

I binded it togeather with some melted coconut oil and a few spritz of whitch hazel, i thought it was a good consistency as it was just holding togeather, i packed into cupcake moulds all was fine 10 mins later they seem to be growing i put into my airing cupboard as as i thought this might help as its quite damp in the uk at the moment now they seem to be rising like a proper cake. I have tried one and they fizz well (not for as long as i would like thoe).

Can any one shed any light on what i have done wrong. :#

too much liquid (witch hazel) and too high humidity in the air.

bummer.

unfortunately the fizz probably won't last.

i would just skip the liquid and use only hard oil or butters to hold the bomb together. that is what i do and i dont get any warting or growing

i use a tiny bit of almond oil and coco butter, less then you with WAY more bicarb and citric acid. you can also try less witch hazel.
