Christmas Vanilla Cupcake Soap!

VANILLA CUPCAKE SOAP
I finally made soap!! woohooo!!..

This is a new batch of Hot Process/Crock Pot soap. Superfatted with Castor Oil (for loads of lather), Glycerin (very moisturizing) and Shea Butter with Aloe (skin loving emollient), this is a sweet-smelling treat in the bath or shower. Would make a wonderful gift all by itself, these bars are a generous 5+ ounces each. Ready to use now, because the HP method eliminates cure time, but the bar will get harder- which prolongs the soaps life- as it sits another week or two. I added candy sprinkles to the top, but those will wash away with the first use... looks pretty though! The vanilla will eventually turn this creamy-colored soap brown, but that's the color of vanilla beans anyway, and I think it will still look lovely! :) Enjoy. For sale tomorrow on at the shop.

I must agree with Anne-Marie. It is a festive soap. How are you Christine? Happy New Year. I've been bogged down with Christmas things. Will keep in touch.

I received my soap and I love it!! I could smell the sugary vanilla through the envelope.

When I took the soap out of the package I didn't know whether to eat it or bathe with it. It was definitely the most yummiest shower I had ever taken.

I didn't mind the brown splotches, it kind of looked like bread pudding. I'm going to tell everyone about this lathering confection. Thank you so much!

And did I mention how soft the Shea butter made my skin fell? This soap rocks!
