Candybee Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Wow! Love the whipped soap and the pumpkin pie soap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 hehe nope dont mind - I've seen it on etsy before and never knew how they got the icing so perfect.. it MUST be whipped soap, I cant think of any other way they could have done it except to get to a super thick trace, and then all I could think was that it would take too long.. I cant wait to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc26 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Pretty soapies!! my question is how much does your batch 'fluff' up? I usually do 3lb batches but I have this feeling that if I do that I will have quite a bit left over that won't fit into the mold.... true?

I'm interested to see how much a bar will weigh when I cut this loaf... oh and they are NOT kidding about pastel being the best you can get, I put twice the mica in this batch as normal and still nothing but pastel colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacquiO Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Pretty soapies!! my question is how much does your batch 'fluff' up? I usually do 3lb batches but I have this feeling that if I do that I will have quite a bit left over that won't fit into the mold.... true?Same here. It fluffs up quite a bit. I was afraid is was going to over spill out my bowl when I was whipping it. My 12 inch log mold holds 44 ounces of oils and I made only 32 ounces of oils and it ended up fitting perfectly in my mold. I had just enough left over to make one extra heart bar out my Wilton mold. I would advise you calculate at least 10oz less than what you would normally use. I also wanted to add that David Fisher mentioned it really sticks to the molds. Even though I use a liner-free log mold I still lined it with parchment paper. I didn't want to chance it getting stuck or having the soap sides ripped up when I pulled the mold apart.

LuminousBoutique Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 ok... soaps been sitting on the shelf cut for two days... I weighed a bar and it weighs 3oz, my bars from other regular batches that are the same size are 4.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
