my soap cake :-)

[scrapgabbie]

The base is CP with the MP as the 'icing', the raspberries are MP too. I'm not sure if the MP will stick in the long term, having never tried this before.
It's scented with sweet raspberry FO

[kwahlne]

Wow, absolutely GORGEOUS! I wanna make a soap cake!! I just want to EAT it!

 

[GrumpyOldWoman]

yummmm, looks just like a real cake!

 

[Mandarin]

That is stunning work! I think that it looks better than a real cake. The pink color is very vibrant and the glaze looks wonderful.

 

[scrapgabbie]

thanks everyone!!!

l have a question for you all now...do you think it would be okay to put each piece in a cello bag now, for the 4 week cure? l'm thinking just a loose cello bag with a ribbon tied on the end, just so they don't get dusty during the 4 week cure. All that white icing and raspberries is getting me worried about dust LOL.

topcat - l used one of my old candlemaking molds for the raspberries, l wasn't sure if it was going to work or not, but thankfully it did ;-)

Gabbie - this is uncertain ground for me. My understanding is that CP needs airflow around it to cure out properly and MP needs covering to keep the moisture in the air away from it. I think Lindy has made a soapcake - well, I know she has, but I think she may have used MP icing? Mandolyn too. Perhaps they will see this thread and chime in. Or you can PM them to ask.

OMG!! That cake is absolutely lovely!! My mouth is watering just looking at it and it's not edible! I bet it smells as awesome as it looks! Wow....

Soapgrabbie if you put the soaps into a cello bag they won't dry properly - CP needs air to cure. If you're worried about dust drape a couple of paper towels over it lightly - that will allow the soap to continue to cure. If you cut the cake it will cure quicker...

I made the mistake of putting a CP soap with flower buds on top into a cello bag - it ended up moldy - yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was when I first started trying out packaging ideas - that one was beyond a failure....

Sorry to be so late replying to this, but I just haven't had time to check in here for a while.

Right, it will still need to breathe even after it cures. That's just cp. I never packaged mine. When I gave the slices, I just slipped them into one of my bags (small bags with handles). That way I didn't have to worry about the top getting ruined.

Your cake is stunning by the way!!!
