Pure Genius?

[LomondSoap]

This is what I've been up to today. A Guinness soap, unfragranced, with some honey added and a touch of cocoa to darken the colour.
It doesn't smell too good just now in the mould, but hopefully on the cure the hops smell will come through.

I "painted" the "G" on the top with a squirty sauce bottle

I love that!!!! What a cool idea with the G.. I bought some icing bags to try some decorations - haven`t got there yet....

 

[Tabitha]

Very clever!

 

[dagmar88]

Cool! I would never have thought of that

Erm...just wanted to point out that "Pure Genius" was a TVad, incase I was considered to be bragging :wink:
For obvious reasons I can't call it Guinness, I'd have trading standards on my back :roll:

How cool! Looks like brown beer with white foam!

 

[topcat]

Still looks good....it will be interesting to see how it cures out. Perhaps a little more cocoa in the mix another time? I have only used cocoa with other browning agents so am not sure how much you will need to maintain that rich golden brown you had at the start.

Here have a couple of leprecauns to wish on.

They are a bit scary.

Great idea. Love the G. More cocoa should darken it. I use cocoa and mine come out a dark brown.

Cheers for the Leprechauns Mary
I've also been told that black treacle, vanilla, rhassoul & henna might help darken it. Noted for next batch.
