Oh where do I begin... I wrote up this post on Sunday night, tried to publish it on Monday morning only to found that it's a BLANK! All that I wrote and photos are all gone, like they never existed! But I swear I wrote it! Not a good start on the first day of Dragon year... sigh. Alright, I seriously don't remember what I wrote exactly, so I'm going to make this long story short.
My 8 year old nephew from New Jersey asked for chocolate cupcake soap with white frosting for his birthday which is coming up on February 3rd. Normally I would do cold process soap and I've done it many times it's relatively easy for me. But with the time constrain (min. 4 weeks to cure the soap) I was not able to soap cold process. Oh boy I have not done M&P frosting and I heard it's very tricky if you don't get the timing right when you are piping. After a couple failed experiments I proceeded to make cupcake soap!
Don't they look real enough to eat?! I'm so proud of myself. Then the longer I starred at them the more my hands got itchy and wanted to add some more to them. So I did... I was going for that chocolate dipped strawberry look but I just didn't seem to be able to get the right consistency. I like the simple version before I ruined them! :((
Well, no time for a re do, so here they go, total 14 of these over drizzled berry chocolate cupcake soap, out the door across the country all the way to Jersey! I hope Julius likes the drizzle!
I love the drizzle! Seriously they look absolutely edible...mmmmmm <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Topcat! Personally I like the clean simple undrizzled better. But I already did it, no undo button, LOL.
DeleteThey look realy nice! You don't need a undo button ;0)
ReplyDeleteThese are sooooooo good, I still want to bite one!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole thing! (especially the realistic strawberry and cute packaging!) Where do you get your labels done?
ReplyDeleteI design, print and cut my own labels.
DeleteI am so behind on reading your blog...these look absolutely fantastic!! The soaps, the packaging...all of it!! Your nephew is a lucky guy!!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Love how they look - with and without the drizzle =)
