Tea with Cream and Sugar and Bacon Fat

[melstan775]

Nooooo, not tea with cream, sugar, and bacon fat, that would be EEWW!!!!! These are two separate batches you silly sallys! These ones have no added color, not even TD.

Tea with Cream and Sugar has tea, cream, and sugar in it, yum on AHAs and moisture! I think the air pocket in the one looks like Hello Kitty.


Bacon fat is just a test batch for a bacon scent. It's all white though and looks like uncooked bacon fat, lol. I will probably chop it up and use it as "fat" in the actual bacon soap. It smelled funny at first but now it smells like bacon bits. I hope the scent will hold up!

How does the bacon soap fare with lathering up? I think it's funny that the scent survived.

Lol I like them both! Better keep the bacon one away from any pets you might have I know my dog might be interested in that one a little too much

Very cool I did an unscented bacon fat batch once. It didn't smell good at all; not like bacon, just rank. I did end up rebatching it and then it was fine. I hope yours turns out like you want it to!

When I read the title, I couldn't imagine why anyone would want bacon fat in tea. LOL

It's fine. It only has bacon scent in it, not real bacon fat.

Ha, my kitty soap guard has already smelled and revolted. She doesn't like anything not made for kitties but she smells everything!

How did it do using real bacon fat?

it was fine but the bacon fat was only 25%. Never tried with 100%, I don't eat that much bacon :mrgreen:

It didn't get DOS? That's great to know, I might put some bacon fat in the actual batch, but not even as high as 25%! Was the bar hard or softish?

Oops, I was wrong. I went back to my notes and it was 15%, not 25%. :sad:

In terms of actual properties the original bars seemed about the same as if I had used lard: firm but not brick hard. I didn't age it very long, though. The smell did not pass the wife test. The re-batch was a different animal althogether, I beat a lot of air into it and also added ground oatmeal and FO. It was quite acceptable soap after that. That was three months ago and the 2 bars I have left are still DOS-free.

Thank you for sharing the info Timber, I will think carefully about adding bacon fat into my bacon soap!
