The Saturday Porn Fever Log Style post gave me ants in my pants to try new "topping" styles. I've always wanted to try a heap in the center of my soap loaves, but never really made enough soap or thickened the last of the soap enough before the nasty fairies came and made grainy custard-like glop before I smoothed it on.
Well, last night I tried it for the first time and it worked. Trust me, I will do a better job next time, but it all happened in a split second and it was like those contestants on Top Chef plating when they have only seconds before they have to put there utensils down.
Here's the loaf before it went under the knife.
Cut, they look like cupcakes to me. :oP Yummmmmm.
They are scented in Baby Rose from Brambleberry. So gentle and NOT overbearing at all, like some tea roses can be. Thanks Anne-Marie for having this one available!
Romantic and feminine, and sooooo very pretty! Way to go, Jo!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous. Almost too pretty to use.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!! I am inspired to try a little soap experiment this weekend.

ReplyDeleteI watched baby rose created from scratch. What a fascinating process to watch. And yummy, love to bathe with that soap. Mama of Jo
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Jo you are getting the hang of it. The last part is called Adrenalin Soaping and if anyone thinks plain soapmaking is addictive, this side of it is unreal for adrenalin junkies. lol. I just love it. Cheers Sharon
