Making nice tops on M&P

[mandolynaussies]

I am wondering if it is possible to make the pretty peak tops on melt and pour? The cold process soaps look so pretty with the lovely top peaks. Any help would be appreciated. And, Happy New Year!!

It's difficult to get the exact same tops on MP as with CP, because they are such different mediums. However, you can manipulate the MP a bit to make it look more like CP...if you see the pic below, I cooled and stirred the melted MP until it started to get thick and then quickly poured it and then stirred the MP a bit as it cooled to get the texture on top of this soap. It can be done, but it won't be exactly the same.

The pic above looks like CP soap to me...I've never tried it that way before. Awesome!


Another way to get a different top with M&P is to add embeds on top...
