Baby steps in making soap cupcakes.

[Keds45]

I took my first stab at making soap cupcakes today with the goal of learning how to do it well enough to make soap cupcakes for christmas gifts. I used the Soaping 101 cupcake recipe and instructions and a piping set I got at Dollar Tree. They look a bit like sparkly poop emojis, but it went better than I though it would. Any suggestions? I will probably spring for a better piping tip. What do others use? Thanks-enjoy your Wednesday!

I think they look great for a first try. If you have a Michaels near you they sell large piping tips that work great for this. I use either disposable piping bags or a zip lock works too.

They are like $1.89 or so each. I have about 10 now. Some for cooking purposes some for soap.

I made some icing today with a tallow/lard recipe and it is sort of fluffy and lumpy looking - not like the smooth consistency I see on videos. The piping bag splitting down the seam didn't help .
Yesterday's attempt was so hard I had to cut off the piping tip and jam it into a mold instead of piping it.
I'll keep trying for my Easter cupcakes for the great nieces.
