Some of my coworkers are organizing an international dinner this week for anyone from the company that's interested. I signed up to bring a dessert. I love baking but can't decide which recipe to try. While browsing the web for inspiration, I thought, "Why not ask for suggestions on SMF?" Does...

I haven't found time for soaping yet this month, but this evening I made my first conditioner bars! :swinging:The mica didn't fully incorporate (not ideal, I know), but it gave them the neatest shimmery galaxy look. Already they're lightening up as they cool. I expect a mild lavender shade in...

I decided to make this thread as a place I can continue to post new soap pictures as I make more batches (instead of continually posting new threads). Here are a few batches that I've made recently. All fragrances are from Bramble Berry. Peach Prosecco I modeled this batch off the Cucumber...

Here's my latest batch, scented with Blueberry Thyme from BB. It's based off this soap by Love Your Suds, so I can't claim the credit for dreaming up the design ;) I typically overheat, so I was extremely excited to get a nice even gel without glycerin rivers! I wrapped the mold in towels, put...

I'm considering buying a soap shaver for trimming up finished bars of soap. I think it'd come in quite handy for things like removing soda ash and silicon rash. For those of you that have one, do have recommendations of a good brand or place to purchase one? I've used a vegetable slicer in the...

This batch, made Saturday, is scented with Serenity from Bramble Berry. I mixed several of their micas to get the blue and purple shades...Queen's Purple, Mermaid Blue, and maybe some Stormy Blue and Rose Pearl. When I start dumping, it's hard to remember what all I put in 😄

Here's a batch of White Tea and Ginger (BB) that I made Saturday. The white part is uncolored; the peach color is a combination of BB's gold and copper micas. It gave a slightly different shade than I envisioned, but I like it.

These two bars of soap are from the same batch, made in November. They're fragranced with BB's Espresso FO, which has a 3.5% vanilla content and discolors to brown. After using a bar for a while, I've discovered that the discoloration reverses, at least somewhat, when the soap is wet (the bar on...

When I made this batch of soap, I thought I was being smart to pour the bottom layer one day and wait until a few days later to make the rest. Turns out that it WASN'T such a great idea....I got a fairly straight layer, but the two layers don't want to stick together. I won't do that again, but...

Made both of these batches a week ago, but didn't get around to uploading the pics till today. FOs are Lilac (purple batch) and English Rose (pink). I used tussah silk in both batches---my first time using it. Question for those who've used silk: do you find that it quickens trace at all? Both...

Anyone try this tree swirl before? This was my first attempt and I was pretty pleased...although it didn't quite reach complete gel phase I'd love to see other people's spins on the same design!
