Princess Kisses and Cupcakes

You don't even know how happy I am that my Princess Kisses soap cut well today. I am estatic! I thought I'd struggle with the difference between the chunky, more aged soap and the soft, fresh soap. Nope! It might have been the easiest soap I've cut so far. Go figure!

I named it Princess Kisses because it is such a girly soap and my daughter is in such a princess phase right now. It is scented with white tea and ginger. I just love how it turned out!


I also have been wanting to try my hand at cold process cupcake soaps and today was the day. These are also scented with white tea and ginger. They are entirely plain cold process. I did not use whipped soap to make the frosting. Even though it was time consuming, it was fun and relatively easy. I tried different ways of piping and I think I like the all over stars the best. I need a bigger tip to swirl the "frosting" all the way around. I used the little flower silicone cupcake liners made by Wilton. So cute!


I also made my pvc challenge soap but it is most definitely not worthy of a photo. The fragrance oil was very touchy, my colors didn't come out right, and somehow I managed to not have enough soap batter. I dunno...

You are definitely on a roll...LOVE the Princess Kisses - what a great name! The colors are amazing! Looks like the cupcakes turned out great too - I wouldn't have thought to make them with regular CP soap!

Thank you! I had so much fun with these two batches.

I meant to throw some credit to Brambleberry and Naiad Soap Arts on the cupcakes:

I mixed things up a little but I wouldn't have known to try it until I saw that blog post.
