Ruina Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here goes. I'm so awful at taking pictures so bear with me.Liquid soap following Soapfreak's fabulous instructions.Mp cupcakes using fbb mixed with mp for frosting. The frosting didn't dry as hard as I would have liked.A few goodies for the kiddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trappeur Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 What a beautiful job Ruina! Everything is just done to so perfection...If you don't mind me asking, but how did you do your frosting on the cupcakes? I do frosting on my little muffin melts and it is so time consuming....Maybe you might have an easier way I could learn from....or is the whole cupcake a mold?Thanks and awesome job!Trappeur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruina Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Thank you everyone for your kind compliments. I usually don't post pictures very often, but I worked really hard getting these ready for Christmas and wanted to know what others thought about them.Trappeur, the cupcake is not a mold. I did the cups first and then followed these instructions on the frosting using FBB from BB since that's the only place I can purchase a small amount. I did partial recipe since the amount stated on the video is too much frosting for my needs. I did a ratio of 1:1 plus glycerin. I was able to frost the cups without using anything for "glue". The frosting stayed on. Its just not as hard as I thought it would be. Link for video on frosting: http://www.goplanetearth.com/project_soap_frosting.htmlWendyByTheBay, yes the LS is from scratch. I followed soapfreak's instructions posted on the Dish. It was easier than I thought it would be. It does take a bit more time than bar soap.

Ruina Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Carrie, funny you should mention about the green. That was an accident. My FO changed my blue to green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Very pretty! LS is on my to-do list while I am on my holiday leave and I have SoapFreak's instructions in my files....You have inspired me! Did you end up with any little floatie chunks in the LS? I did with the last batch I made and haven't tried LS since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruina Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Sure but I scooped them out and put into a separate jar with more boiling water. After the chunks diluted, I added some back and some I saved to use for my foamer bottles. I didn't want to add all of it back cause I didn't want my gel to be too runny. It does take a bit of time but I ended up with no chunks and all of it usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrid Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Mine wasn't anything so pretty - I tried some clay mask recipes from Sydney Essential Oil Company and some nice hand cream recipes from Aussie Soap Supplies (one used dimethicone & cyclomethicone which I'd not tried before; the other used olive oil derivatives - including the emulsifiers). I'd take a picture but they all went!The tips on the cupcakes were great, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruina Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 Thank you everyone. Merrid, glad to help. My family & friends all loved their gifts. Now I have to start thinking what I'm gonna do for next year. santa big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
