Oceangazer1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 To those of you who make cp cupcakes, can you advise on how to keep the cupcakes from becoming ashy? I did a batch and they are covered with it:tongue2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjconner Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 To prevent ash, I have covered the surface of my soap with plastic wrap (before I cover for gelling). Barbara Al (spelling?) suggested spraying the exposed surface with 99% isopropyl alcohol. I tried it and so far it seems to work. 99% isopropyl is available at my local supermarket.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thank you. I didn't know they had to gel. I just left mine out as I didn't have a dome covering. Also since they are made in silicone cupcake molds can they be cphp in the oven?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjconner Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 They don't have to gel - that is my personal preference. Some soap makers keep their soap from gelling by putting is the fridge, etc.Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck_35550 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Dosen't the spritzing kind of make it look sort of glazed? I have read some suggestions that soaping temps are to blame for ash (too cool or too warm) but it seems that the products on some of the videos don't have a gel appearance. It seems they are using goat milk in a hard oil heavy recipe and are using additives as they work with the soap to get the desired results. Do most customers buy these soaps for decoration and or gifts and not for actual use? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I read they are easy to use if you cut them vertically in half. How to use them was the reason I didn't make them for so long. I think some display them or give as gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
