Shaw Mudge Strawberry Supreme (1st post - pics of success and failure added...)


Recommended Posts

Today my SW 20% off sale order arrived! I just had to make a whipped CP batch with Strawberry Supreme even though I didn't know if it would accelerate or will discolor over time. It smells absolutely fantastic OOB - and I'm not a typical strawberry scent lover - but it's great. Here's how it turned out:

Colored with Red 30 Lake (amethyst pink) from MMS - I love this particular colorant. If you look closely at the pic above you can see small "chunks" from where the FO clumped up during my hand-stirring of the separate colored amounts of soap. Here's what happened overnight:

Wretched specks of unincorporated FO! Next time I will reserve some white unscented and then add the FO and beat it in with the mixer along with the colorant since it did not accelerate. I am not giving up on this FO for whipped soap. It smells delicious! (Oh well, now I will have to use it all myself.) I substituted avocado oil for the sweet almond and it worked well too.

I also made a batch of Cucumber whipped soap and I piped what didn't fit in the mold into these little samples:

Here's a pic of the Cool Cucumber whipped bars. They turned out nice and smooth!

In the oven now is a batch of Mary-Mint Parfait since I was out. No pics yet here, but my husband was off sick today and I made him take some pictures as I was going through the layering process so that I can post a little picture tour of the process.

A couple of days ago I made another layered bar that I might or might not stamp:

There's some separation of the mica in the middle layer. :cry2: But the bar smells great! I mixed up the following FOs - Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Lime EO, Amber, Frankincense and Myrrh, and Tree (a pine kind of scent). Sounds kind of horrible when you list out what's in it, but it's a good man smell! (at least so far)

So that's what I've been up to. Trying to get a lot made before the start of school comes and I rejoin the workforce! :)

Thanks for looking!

Love the looks of the cuke, just beautiful. Too bad about the clumps in the strawberry, if you overlook the fo spots they look great. But now you have some great smellin' soap to use for yourself and you have an excuse to make more :highfive:.
