Sugar Cubes

[Jezzy]

Hi,

I was wondering if sugar cubes have to be made with m & p or if they can be made with the cp method too? They look so nice!

 

[Bukawww]

Everything I've read suggests those that have tried with cp have failed. I did finally break down and buy some m&p to make some and they are quite lovely. I may give in, on this one thing...I'm not a fan of palm or soy products. You can at least go with an all natural base.

I make Sugar Scrub cubes with CP shreds instead of M&P
because i don't like how M&P dries out my skin.
There are a ton of people who do this successfully and they look
great.

Here are pics of mine... HTH?

They sure do look nice!

I'd love a HINT! on how you made those lovely cubes too!
(I have the worst luck with that brownie bite mold.)

what she said.

i've been making with MP, but don't really want to use it.

those look so good! Do they melt when your using them like the mp cubes?

 

[PrairieCraft]

What is a sugar cube :shock: Those are sooo pretty. I want one and don't even know what the heck it is.

 

[Jezzy]

Those are AWESOME!! I agree with everyone else!!!

 

[NancyRogers]

Amazing! They look so beautiful.

Those are beautiful!

ETA: It looks like there is a thread here with some info
http://www.soapmakingforum.com/forum/vi ... crub+cubes

But I'd still like a tried and true recipe for CP soap.

I make sugar cubes with CP- whipped soap (Nizzy). Since it stays pretty cool it doesn't melt the sugar. I pipe them in kiss (hershey) shaped pieces or sometimes use the same mold that Mayren has and they turn out great.

 

[orangeblossom]

I like that idea.

 

[Mayren]

To write down my method I need some inspiration
to make up a batch.

Anyone got a color and flavor combo they'd like to see?

PM me please to not clutter the thread and I'll take the
majority request and write out my method and give pics
on that combo to see if they will turn out the same
with any color/scent.

Happy to share.

 

[Jezzy]

Go ahead and clutter up the thread! I LOVE new ideas! and I am sure I am not the only one :wink:

I have no idea what I would suggest! You already made pink.

I have another question. Do you use them like soap? Or do they melt?

 

[agriffin]

Yeah...I was gonna say that also. Go ahead and clutter...it's been a bit slow lately.

I was thinking watermelon or grapefruit. Mmmmmmm...

I personally only take half of one into the shower,
then wet them a little, smoosh them a bit into a thick paste
so it sticks to my hands, then scrubby away.
When i get just remnants left in my fingers i rub my
hands together to get a light and low lather and sorta
very lite lather it all off.

When i say lather, i do mean very light but it usually rinses
pretty clean leaving that feeling that you know some of
the oils were absorbed to the top layer of your skin.

then when totally dry it's just uber soft. (shrug)


So far in PMs i have request for a lavender colored
lavender/lemon scent (or lav.anise)

another lavender colored with lavender/orange scent

I think a soft to medium Purple is a great color.

Perhaps a rosemary/mint to collaborate with a
soap i just made or lavender/Citrus ... probably
lavender/citrus... if i have enough lavender left
in the bottle . lol.

 

[agriffin]

Rosemary mint would be wonderful!

 

[orangeblossom]

I was going to say vanilla.....but I like watermelon or a rosemary mint or a lavender orange sounds yummy too!
