What's cooking?

[Rosey]

So what have you guys made today or plan to make tomorrow?

I made a gardener soap with poppy seeds. I tried my hand at swirling again but I think I shouldn't have done that last pass. I'm excited to see how it turns out. I did screw up on the scent too. I put too much lemongrass in and since I was sure it was fool proof, I just put it directly in the oils as I measured it out. So I put 0.8oz of lemongrass instead of lemon and so then I put 0.4 of lemon instead of the lemongrass. Poo. I put lavender in there too. The lemongrass has already tapered some (phiew). I used red clay to color.

Hi Rosey, bet your soap will still be awesome -- you were in the
"ball park" for everything.

I'm still waiting on my oven experiment with HP soap. To see if
gradual cooling will keep the loaf from shirinking or cracking.
So far -- it's looking GREAT! I think in the future, I'll only make
HP soap at night. Then I can go to bed with it in the oven and
forget about it. All day, I've been peeking and peeking. LOL

 

[Rosey]

I think it will be fine, I just don't like it when things don't go as planned. It's already hardened up but still slightly too soft.

see you're going to wake up to go to the bathroom and peek

Here's mine. I can't wait to cut it tomorrow.

That's beautiful -- bet it's even more beautiful when cut.
I'll be looking for it.

Rosey, that batch is so pretty. I love the clay and the poppy seeds mixed in.

I just made a CPHP batch that is mostly coconut oil. It an experiment for the hard water at my parents house. I scented it with orange EO and strawberry FO. I love the combo! I also decided last minute to mix in some pink clay and do a bit of a swirl. We'll see if it works.

I also made those single-use sugar scrubbies.

Okay what's bubble jelly? Can we have a recipe for those?
I'm putting some gift packs together, and so far have a soap/ and a bath bomb, a bubble jelly sounds like it would go perfectly!!
Abigtrout those bath cupcakes are beautiful! Are they regular bath boms?

 

[Saltysteele]

my sister gave my daughter a couple bubble jellies she had gotten from lush.

they look like a jello shooter. they were in a tiny little cup with a lid, and were about 1" x 1" (or 2.5 cm x 2.5 for those metrics), and looked a square jello wiggler. there like a jello bubble bath
