Pretty Soap Tops

 I usually will use Fondant Mats for my pretty soap tops.

I decided to try something new,  a Hand Roller. This one is made of carved wood and came from an Etsy Shop with a nice selection, MKM Pottery Tools. Do check them out! 

So after unmolding the soap, I gently rolled the tool across the top of the soap. 

Here's the completed soap, I was pretty happy with it. Give it a try! 

Valentines day

 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. 

Fave supplier

 I have been using Mad Micas for a long time. Of course, I have tried others in the past, which makes me appreciate Mad Micas even more! In addition to their superior, non-morphing colors, they also have a huge selection! And if that's not enough, they are just plain fun! So if you are a soap maker, do check them out!

happy 2023

Easter Soap

 This is a little different, it's a bunny soap like the Murray Soap, I used a "soap shaper" to make the soap, here's what it looks like 

You can use either end to achieve the desired results. Here it is with the "ears" facing downward.

And at last, the finished product! They will be available this week. Some have a shorter face than others, you can tell they are handmade! 

Easter in on April 4th this year. Will be listed in the Etsy shop soon too! 

Valentines Day

 I always like to do a little something for Valentines Day. This year, in addition to the two limited Edition Soaps ( Black Cherry Tobacco and Jasmine Honeysuckle ) I made up some soap cupcakes! My first time at piping, there's a learning curve for sure, gives me a whole new respect for folks that do cake decorating! 

Here's a batch of Sundance ( Orange/ Tangerine/Grapefruit )

Here's what they look like all packaged up.

These are the plastic cups we used to package the Soap Cupcakes in, they are a special kind of plastic that's recyclable!  We try so hard to not use any more plastic than we have to, in fact that's why we changed the packaging on the lip butters and Lotion Bars to Zero waste! 

We will have the cupcakes available for you this weekend at the #PinoleFarmersMarket on Saturday as well as the #MartinezFarmersMarket on Sunday. See you then! 

Coming soon

 As always, the new kids will be on probation until we see how popular they are ( or not! ) lol. I was thinking that these two new scents will be amazing, since I know you guys love the matching bars. 

If you've never tried Loofa bars, let me tell you, they are amazing for your skin, all of them are made with a one inch slice of Loofa embedded into a comfortable to hold bar of Goat Milk Soap, to which we have added skin loving Cocoa Butter! 

By the way, loofa ( Loofah, Luffa ) grows on a vine, it's NOT a sea creature! We wouldn't do that! 

These have about another week, then you will see them online and at the Pinole, Martinez and Concord Farmers Markets!
