singleyellowrose Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Those are nice elliebelle. How did you make your frosting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliebelle Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I melt 4 oz of goatsmilk or shea butter melt and pour glycerin soap base (any melt and pour soap base will work. Add 2 tablespoons liquid soap base ( I use the goatsmilk with shea butter base from Brambleberry.com but any liquid soap base will work) and whip the mixture with my hand mixer until it achieves the consistency of "frosting" with soft peaks-then I put in a bag with a 1M decorating tip and frost each soap cupcake. Work fast as the frosting tends to stiffen up with a few minutes and is impossible to squeeze out of the decorating bag/tip. If it does harden just scrape frosting out of bag into bowl-reheat in 15 sec bursts-rewhip the frosting and then try to frost again (make sure you spray the top of the cupcake liberally with rubbing alcohol before applying the frosting or other wlse the frosting will not stick onto the soap cupcake). The frosting takes a few hours-overnight to harden up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getcha Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) the frosting is so pretty!!when I first started making them I was using the royal icing frosting and if I worked really fast, I could frost 6 full size cupcakes...they would harden and look awesome...but like was mentioned, the tops get taken off and thrown away, they don't add anything to the bath...one of our wholesale accounts said that she sat in the tub determined to use the whole thing...said she sat in there for over an hour waiting for the top to dissolve lol...we had to change our frosting recipe when we got rain...it completely changed the outcome of the royal icing...it went from awesome to a runny mess...the level of humidity in the air affects it...we now use a mix of shea MP, fbb, liquid glycerin & a tiny bit of meringue powder...now when the top comes off, its usable as soap...you have to play with the amounts of MP & fbb to get the right consistency...one of the recipes floating around calls for equal amounts and we found that that didn't work for us...we melt the MP and then add the fbb while its still warm, it helps to soften it before we start whipping...we also keep rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle near the mixer...sometimes the bubbles get crazy lol...one of the tricks we learned during the whipping is to keep whipping...it will get to a point where it looks like whipped cream peaks...if you try to use it at this point (only a couple minutes of whipping) it will be to soft and won't hold its shape...keep whipping, about 5-6 minutes...then put it into the piping bag...I use a size 14 bag because the larger opening is so much easier to get the soap into...the the bigger tip covers more area on the cupcake quicker, allowing me to work faster....something to keep in mind when whipping...the soap likes to climb up the beaters...I use a hand mixer and have a silicone spatula in the other hand to push the soap back down...hope this helps some =o) heres a couple pictures of our cupcake bath bombs...we add a little glitter to them...it catches the light and catches peoples attention at shows Edited January 15, 2010 by getcha spelling and forgot some stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
