Courtney Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I am trying to formulate my recipe for some soap cupcakes and I'm not sure how to do it. When you order a mold from a soap company usually it tells you how much oil it holds. I got some silicone molds from Michael's and I just want to make 6 cupcakes. Is it all just guess work? I've tried finding good articles or videos on formulation for different size molds. Does anyone have any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well, for a traditional mold, to figure out approximately how many oz of oils a soap recipe would require it is LxWxH x .4. a rectangular mold of mine 2.5 x 11 x 3.25 holds about 90 cubic inches of finished soap. X .4 = about 36 oz of oils. so measure your molds with water. Weigh the water. Multiply the oz by .4 to get a close approximation. if you do a water discount the .4 will be slightly different. But this gets you close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
