SMF November 2024 Challenge - Hello Yellow!

[CLMP]

I want to make some tiny embeds for the challenge and I'm wondering if I can use my minni frother to make 2 ounces of soap or will it make my soap full of bubbles. I've been wondering how people make tiny batches of soap and I thought maybe I can use my mini frother to do it.

I've been wondering how people do that, too. So far, I just make 1# batches and put the extra in another mold.

I don't really use my mini frother for anything any more. I tried it for dispersing clay/natural colorants in water or oil, but it splashes A LOT, makes a big mess and does seem to add a lot of air. All those issues could be because of the tiny amounts I'm usually working with. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if there was enough liquid to cover the frother by a good margin.

The rules say you have to make 2 bars. Don't think that the frother would make it too bubbly. I would tap the mold to remove some air bubbles perhaps.

I make small batches for embeds in a #5 plastic container that is tall and narrow, with a base roughly the same diameter as my stick blender. Mine is a Happy Farms ricotta container from Aldi. 2 oz of oils + lye solution is enough to cover the holes in my blender.

I think there is a good chance of that kind of frother making some bubbles. If you want to try making a tiny embed batch, you might try a whisk. I usually make soap and a small amount extra. If you use soap dough, you could make a batch for that purpose, using what you need for your embeds first.
