Or for breakfast - with blue cheese, or a thick layer of cream cheese. Funnily enough, I did once pack a box of crumpets for an American visitor. He loved them too, and wanted his family to try them. I don't know if they made it into the country, some foods get confiscated at customs.

Try www.hfostersoaponline.co.uk They have several M&P soap bases at £2.94 per kilo (inc VAT) but you have to pay for postage on top of that.

In the UK, it's illegal to sell soap that looks like food. The Food Imitations (Safety) Regulations 1989 prohibit everything that might be mistaken for food, with the notable exception of doll's house items. So officially, soap cup cakes and cake slices are out, although I've seen plenty for...

but only work

The Ginger & Lime is absolutely amazing! I'll definitely be ordering that again. The Warm Vanilla Sugar is pleasant but quite mild and I'll have to wait and see whether it will last in the cured soap. Interestingly it did not affect the colour - I'd heard that vanilla always turned soap...

I've just ordered some FOs from scentperfique.co.uk 'warm vanilla sugar' 'frankincense & black cherry' and 'ginger & lime'. Good prices and reasonable delivery charge. They don't seem to carry essential oils though. Will report back on what they're like in soap.

Our local supermarket stocks mustard oil and sesame oil at a reasonable price. Has anyone used either in CP soap, and what were they like please? I haven't seen them mentioned much on this forum. Thanks!

The last one, definitely. The first is not too bad but the two fonts don't look right together. I do like the rainbow colour across the top though. Number 3 looks like a pair of pink boxing gloves.

Welcome darkbanshee87, Here is a thread on UK suppliers: http://www.soapmakingforum.com/showthread.php?t=46037 My personal recommendations are: H Foster (www.hfoster.co.uk) for palm oil, shea butter, coconut oil. Larger Tescos for coconut oil (250g or 500g, brand KTC). They don't usually...

Yes, but it seems very expensive! Are you in the UK? Try B&Q (£2.98 for 500g; £4.98 for 1kg). Or Wilkinsons. The Asda and Tesco ones have sodium carbonate in them, but the labels don't say how much so I've avoided them.

You are all making me feel very grateful that we use a decimal system for weights in Europe - grams and kilos are definitely easier than pounds and ounces.

My immediate thought was 'back of a naked woman with a flatulence problem'. Sorry. Prefer the other one.

Here is one of our moulds (English spelling...) Completely collapsible, no screws, no hinges - it just slots together firmly. It's made of 3mm plywood which is quite sturdy enough for the job, and the little pegs down the side are there to stop any bowing. We use a laser cutter so all the...

Experienced my first lye volcano yesterday! Having made 25-30 batches in a few months I thought I was getting beyond the beginner stage but maybe I was over confident. It was a coffee soap with hazelnut FO, and I forgot that the coffee was still warm... woosh! Luckily no harm or damage...

The one that immediately caught my eye was labelled 'dog poo'. On closer checking I realised that it was a shampoo bar for dogs... :-o Great label appeal, I'm sure.

There is an invitation to PM Admin. How do I "PM Admin"? I can't see how to do it.

I must be the only person who hasn't even HEARD of kombucha!

Sigh. Nothing ever changes. There are always bigger kids in the playground. I thought one of the points of a forum WAS to share and post your own opinions and comments. Or is it simply to seek advice from these afore-mentioned admins and advanced soapers? If so, I for one would find that...

Couldn't agree more! :p
