What soapy thing have you done today?

For the love of gob could some one puhleeeeeeze tell me where the heck I bought these amazing fiberglass trays from?!! I need more stat! Someone here turned me onto them a few years ago. A restaurant supply maybe.

Isn't there a name stamped somewhere on it?

Just got off the phone with my friend, E. Recently she visited wanting to pick my brain about how to make soap. And then completely outta the blue she texts me a photo of her soap!!! ?? Oh, Grasshopper, this requires a conversation, not a photo! So I called her right away. She did mostly lard and it was hard and crumbly but I think she's hooked.

She has to start somewhere, it's good she had a go, as you said she's hooked, reel her in .

Looks like she's found them.

Ooooh! Nevermind. Found em! Btw, these things are SO useful!! I love them!! Expensive but worth it!!! https://www.webstaurantstore.com/ca...fiberglass-market-tray-case/2712618FMTBK.html

I have these, I might have recommended them - agree - expensive but worth it!

I made a little cookie stamp on my 3D printer and made these gingerbread soaps. I filled the lines with white soap (painted in with a paintbrush). Still working out how to make the lines tidy as the cookie stamp has a flat edge which sort of pushes the soap out rather than making a crisp line, but I like them.
I bought the STL file. I remember ages ago @glendam discussed how to make a sharp edge for a stamp on a 3D printer - need to find that thread!

I cried over my ugly soap today. I used my wild turmeric infused olive oil and some PKO. I wish I'd read @AliOop's advice about warming the oils well because my soap is so mottled. Urgh! I didn't take into account the early winter cold here.

But on a happier note, my friend, who has helped test my soaps, messaged me to say that she loves them and asked for more. Yayy-ness! She said she will take even the uglies haha. Apparently, she'd just watched a documentary about toxicology and wants to run for the hills screaming.

Restaurant supply store-they are used for pastries.
