I haven't soaped in a few weeks and decided to make 2 batches this weekend to fill that yearning to create.....So I made a nice soap for hubby and son scented with Aspen Forest which came out very nicely. I was even able get the swirl thingy right. This scent is very woodsy, outdoorsy and quite nice
Second batch I scented with Creme Brulee and used the same recipe as with previous soap, just a different scent. I also used a loaf pan for some of the recipe and a Pirouline cookie tin for the rest. No problem with the loaf, came out easy. Cookie tin, a whole other story. I lined the tin with vaseline before pouring the soap. When it was ready to come out I put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then it came time to come out - it didn't....My hubby finally had to resort to using a can opener to open one side to push it through other side. It was very difficult. Not recommended. But the actual soap came out with swirlies too (I swear I don't know how I managed that). At this point I DO NOT like this scent at all. However my son LOVES it and says it smells like caramel or butterscoth. My husband says it smells like candy. Don't know what it smells like to me but I don't like it. Who knows, maybe it'll grow on me. Anyway, here are some pics. It was fun creating again.....
the pretty swirly action goin on
Soap is brown cause of the vanilla in the Creme Brulee Scent
Here's the round version
