Alright, so.
My store needs new hot process soaps. I already made a list of many, many soaps I plan to make soon, but those require the ingredients that are coming on the truck from BB in a week or so.
I have a lovely apple crumble fragrance I got from Saveonscents, and really wanted to use that.
So I mix everything up, get it to trace, cook it, all that jazz. I add my FO mixture (decided to spice it up a little more to make it less dessert-y) and BB's ruby jewelry box colorant. Obviously since it's hp, I knew it would be pink, and I was okay with that, because pink is awesome.
I glopped it in the molds (pringles can with the excess going in my square molds), and waited.
When I unmolded and prepared to cut, I realized something really important that I really should have seen coming.
My soap looks like ham.
I mean, EXACTLY like ham. Like if you bought a slab of deli-meat ham for sandwiches.
I've only worked with red twice before, both times in glycerin melt and pour. What are the chances that this will fade or deepen to a...less hammy color?
If it doesn't, I may simply cut hearts out of the round log and use as inserts in a loaf of hot process or just to sell on their own as little valentine's soap.
The soap smells amazing, which makes this more heartbreaking for me
I love apples.
Ideas?
