ruralers Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I haven't tried making soap frosting yet, but I think it looks super fun. Do most soapers use their base soap batter for frosting or do you make a separate batter or a batter with different ingredients/percentages for your frosting? BTW, I am not fishing for recipes, I am just curious. I tried searching through the forum to glean more information on this topic, but I wasn't able to find a thread. I really appreciate your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I’m not quite sure what you mean by some frosting. You have an example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to soap piping that you can use to form leaves, roses, or other decorative shapes out of CP soap. I called it frosting, since I was picturing it on the top of soap. Frosting means something totally different in the candle world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosting means something totally different in the candle world. I knew what you meant, and yeah, as stated, I make the same recipe but don't scent my frosting/piping but I will sometimes color it. I don't frost a lot of my soaps though. Very few. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I use a slightly different recipe, with more solid fats. I'm impatient and I want it to set up quick, lol. I'll fragrance it if I have a non-discoloring FO that works with the theme. I have made some super cute soap cupcakes as gifts in the past. They were fun to make and well received. Not a method I use regularly though, because it is pretty labor intensive, but great for a special soap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shari Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I too use the same recipe but stick blend it to a thicker trace. I scent my frosting as I try to use non discoloring FO's. If they are FO's that discolor I use Vanilla Stabilizer. I only make about 15-20 a year as I have one large show where they sell well there for some reason. They don't do well at my other shows so I don't bother. If I have any leftovers I give them as gifts or to my grandkids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
