Mostly Lurkin Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ok - I am a lemon fanatic - and this stuff is just TOPS!! Chuggin it OOB was tempting (so I instead opted for a quick Bakers Square run for Lemon Merengue Pie, lol)This pic was the 1st batch - looks great in the mold eh? HA!! The faeries found me! Think I may have poured too warm and had a loverly pool of oil on top come morning...drat... All isn't lost with them, just not what I had hoped for. Plus, I had the amount of bars I needed wrong for the swap and of course was short 1. *mumble grumble*So - switched to a different recipe (the 1st was a primarily olive base) - let to it cool to room temp THEN poured... FABULOUS!! All 15 pounds of it!! This new batch doesn't have the pretty swirls (not from lack of trying ) but looks so creamy and pretty. So too late to take pics, will add them tomorrow - but just cuz I loved the color and whispy swirls of the 1st batch I had to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Looks great!Does this scent hold in soap? Discolor? I need a good lemon for soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostly Lurkin Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ya know - it kinda sorta worked out that I had to make a 2nd batch cuz the scent didn't stay as strong as I really wanted it to. So, with the 2nd batch I added .5 oz of Lemon EO into the FO & they smell really lemony awesome now. No discoloration at all.Looks great!Does this scent hold in soap? Discolor? I need a good lemon for soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
