Love both of them Kylie, can I have a bite ? of the lemon slice. The pas/guava has great colours in it. I'd be happy ,if you don't want them I'll find a home :wink: .

Relle you were reading my mind as soon as I saw the lemon slice I wanted to grab a can of cream from the fridge and get stuck in.........Creamy delish soaps indeed

 

[KylieO]

you girls are too kind i love getting compliments from such fab soap makers

when i got pg with my 2nd son i joined a forum for mums expecting at the same time. these 'babies' are turning 2 this October-ish. Anyway, I've been giving my soaps to some of the Mums from the birth club and 3 different little ones have taken bites of my soaps! LOL and yep, my hubby is upset these fab goods are coming out of the kitchen but can not be eaten hehehehehehe

 

[KylieO]

air pockets, ash, and not having the patience to wait to cut are my current issues (on top of not having enough time, space and $ to soap)

 

[kharmon320]

They look wonderful!

 

[scrummysuds]

Just lovely! Fab colours.
I want to eat the lemon one too yummm

 

[Bubbles Galore]

They look delicious but yes, you need to wait a bit longer before unmoulding and slicing. :wink:

 

[KylieO]

i'm getting better, but OMG, it's a killer! LOL the latest effort is in the fridge for 24 hrs, out of fridge for 24 hrs, un-mould, then cut 24 hrs after that. for me that was really good lol. but next time i will really try and wait 48hrs after un-moulding. the thought of waiting 72 hrs makes me gasp!

 

[judymoody]

They look really nice to me.

If you chill your soap before cutting, it will be firmer. Or you could try a water discount in your recipe.

Stunning Kylie!

I want Lemon Meringue pie now! Can we ask what you used to get your gorgeous lemon colours, and dare I ask... the white? *cringes* LoL

I too, suffer from severe impatience. I do appreciate how waiting does make a difference, and I'm trying my hardest to leave molded for 24hrs+, and I even try to wait until day 2 or 3 before cutting. It's hard!

 

[KylieO]

thanks all, again, i LOVE getting compliments on my soap lol

Dotty, the yellow is pop mica, so is the pink, purple and orange in the passionfruit and guava. the white, didn't turn out as white as i'd hoped, but, it's half tsp of TD, mixed in, really well, with about a tsp of oils from the batch prior to mixing with the lye. i then added about 500 mls of soap batter, the coconut FO, one quick wizz with the SB then a good hand mix, cause like you, i've found it to accelerate. i suspect the FO has a lot to do with it too though, as this one didn't accelerate as much as the other batch i did with TD.

but yep, still getting the white right too lol

 

[dOttY]

I have PoP Mica, but they terrify me, LoL....

Thanks for sharing Kylie
