I had a private soap session with a soaping buddy, Jennifer. She had taken my basic soapmaking class at Taylored Concepts. We soaped for over 4 hours! I think it was closer to 5. We had a BLAST! Here’s what we made…
First thing she wanted to learn how to do was a swirl. I think she did pretty darn good! You can see the different swirl patterns in the soap. We went over how to get different swirl looks.
Then she wanted to learn how to do a layerd soap with a line in the middle. We used Bramble Berry’s new neon colors. The bottom is Fizzy Lemonade and the top is Fired Up Fuchsia. We did a thin cocoa line in the middle between the layers and textured the top a bit with some glitter.
Next up was whipped soap.
We used Bramble Berry’s Vanilla Select to scent the bases so those should turn a dark brown. We scented the purple cupcake tops with Bramble Berry’s Lilac and the yellow with Bramble Berry’s Sweet Meyer Lemon. We used TKB’s pop colors (RIP) to get the bright purple and yellow.
All together.
We also made an emulsified sugar scrub which turned out fantastic.
We had a blast! Here’s a picture of us which I made really bright. We decided we didn’t look that great after 5 hours of soaping…but here we are!
I hope everyone else had a great weekend!

FUN!! I too was wondering if you had posted the sugar scrub recipe 🙂 It looks great 🙂
Sounds like you two were “in the soap zone”!
Oh! You had so much fun!! 🙂
Wish I were closer too! It must have been a lot to clean up afterwards.
I can only make one kind of soap at a time because of my small kitchen right now. I want a bigger one!
Do you have a recipe for the whipped cupcake soaps? I have been wanting to do that for a while now and just got a standing blender for that. I heard that Whipped soap didn’t do so well with FOs but I can see that yours turned out great!
And I was curious about the soap scrub, too! The soap day sounds fantastic and my sister and I will be trying to do that, too, on Monday. Goat’s milk soap, castile, a hot process batch for felting, etc.
Great job Amanda and Jennifer~! Isn’t it fun having a soapin buddy? It’s true 2 are better than 1 at having fun.
You can always tell when Soapers are enjoying themselves…..no matter how tired they are….they still look happy! 🙂
It was fun… 🙂
:(…that sad face is me wishing I could have been there…looks like you had fun…and I would love the recipe for the scrub too!
I’m jealous! Either I have to move to Texas or you have to move to Minnesota so I can spend the day with you, too! What fun you two must have had. There can’t be a better way to spend a day… =o)
Looks like tons of fun. I would love to see the layered soap cut into bars. And yes please post the sugar scrub, I have always wanted to try that. Thanks for sharing!
Actually this scrub is a new recipe. I’ll send it to you when I get home tonite. It’s better than the older one on my blog. I’ll probably replace it.
Ohhh they look amazing .. the cupcakes are divine and the sugar scrub is incredible looking. Do you have a recipe for that on the blog already? (Off to search!)
