My first batch

[MrsDuck]

Hi everyone! I finally got around to making my first batch. I have wanted to make CP soap for many years now! I decided to go with a Bramble Berry kit to easily obtain everything I would need to make CP soap since I've only made melt & pour. I know I probably should have kept everything simple for my first batch, but I have a tendency to go all in, especially when it comes to creating anything. I got the hanger swirl kit, and went with the colors included except I added some TD instead of leaving a third of the batter uncolored. It's scented with neroli and shea blossom FO and smells absolutely incredible! I'm thrilled with it so far and can't wait to cut it in a few days. I will definitely come back to post cut pictures. I lack photography skills, but hopefully it's a good enough picture to give y'all an idea.

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to post some pictures when I cut it! I can hardly wait lol

Just beautiful!! Congrats on going all in - no point in trying to avoid the inevitable.

Lovely! Looking forward to the cut.

 

[MrsDuck]

Thanks y'all! I had a hard time leaving the top alone... I kept wanting to play! It's painful waiting to cut it lol

Oh isn't that the truth! That's why you've got to make more soap. More soap=more playtime!

 

[MrsDuck]

I like the way you think!

Great job for your first soap. I made one colors soaps for a long time before branching out.

 

[MrsDuck]

Thank you! There is a lot to be said about the beauty of a single color bar. I'm an equal opportunity soap lover! Scented, unscented, colorful, or just pure soap... I love it all!

Yup, this one is hooked! Welcome

 

[MrsDuck]

Lol thank you! I know I'm in good company!

 

[MrsDuck]

You could knock me over with a feather! I went ahead and unmolded it earlier today because I couldn't stand it any more lol! It had just a couple of spots that stuck to the side. I just cut it, and I can't believe how well it turned out! I'm calling this beginner's luck! I couldn't possibly be any happier with it! Now the incredibly painful wait for it to cure!

Congrats on your first batch! It turned out beautiful! Did you add any scent to it?

 

[MrsDuck]

Thank you so much! It's scented with Neroli and shea blossom from brambleberry. It's a lovely fragrance!

Yeah, right, your "first" batch. Got it.

 

[MrsDuck]

That's an incredible compliment, thank you

Awesome!! Best part of soap making is that you never know what is going to happen. As long as you take your time, pay attention, and don't obsess there is always the potential for awesome results. Once I learned to just accept that sometimes it is a crapshoot I enjoyed myself so much more.
