I made a small batch of very sweet soaps for Valentines Day this year. It was a fun project.
The mold I used was a silicone column mold. It was a small opening so after standing it up I used a pastry bag and a tip to pipe the soap batter into the mold, tapping it to ensure there were no air bubbles. The next day I carefully unmolded the heart soap and placed it in the next batch, after it was good and thick. Finally I sliced it the day after that, and now we wait for the cure. Its scented in a gorgeous Jasmine and Tahitian Gardenia blend.
