donna4909 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Turned out better than I expected. I haven't attempted to clean them up yet, but I have a feeling they'll just be for personal use. I had to cut these with a knife, so they did crumble somewhat. By the next batch, I hope to have a wire cutter made. *pokes DH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Looking good there Donna. Isn't it fun? And it's amazing when you pick up a bar of whipped soap and pick up a bar of your regular soap to feel the difference in the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yeah, the weight difference is amazing. I bought a bar from Brenda about 2 years ago, and have been wanting to make it ever since. Such a light fluffy soap. If mine is half as good as hers, I'll be happy.And I gotta admit, I love the ease of making it. The downside is that this stuff seems to stick to molds. I lined this batch with freezer paper, but I'm just not a good liner. I always end up with curved bottoms on my soap. So, now I'm either being brave or dumb, and I'm going to try an unlined batch. We shall see how it goes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Donna, if you are good at wrapping presents then look at lining your mold this way..... you are wrapping the inside of the box...not the outside.... inside-out wrapping. wa la!Also after I line mine, I spray it lightly with Pam cooking spray.... you don't have to use the namebrand...any brand will do. It helps release it from the freezer paper. you can also do this with any of your fancy molds to get any of your soaps out...works like a dream. I even spray it in my flexible molds and my soap pops right out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna4909 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Oddly enough, I can wrap a gift beautifully, but I just can't do it backwards to save my life. The corners are never even.I have used PAM a few times before with regular CP, but I didn't really like it. It seemed to leave an oily residue on my soap that I couldn't get off.

The cooking spray comes right off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniejr Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Very nice Donna! I am really trying to convince myself to give whipped soap a try.Hey Louise: in case of brain failure ... can I call you instead of 911?? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 lol Jennie, sure you can call.... but that doesn't mean I'll answer the phone . Just print out your recipe and directions and read it over several times. Have everything set up ahead of time and your mold ready...colors ready... then go for it, you'll do fine. Once you do it your mind will start thinking of other ways to mold it and such.Oh, and Donna.. you said you couldn't get the excess oil wiped off? Wipe off what you can and the rest will incorporate into your bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBE Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 These look great! I've tried one whipped bar soap from a swap, and it was the best soap I've ever tried! Loved the texture of it. You did a very nice job! :highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
