Cake Soap in a Roll

I don't make cake and cupcake soap as often, probably only by request or during holiday season when people are looking for one of a kind gifting ideas.  Cake or cupcake soap although looking very pretty and eye catching, they are somehow impractical to use as soap.  I love making cake soap only because it can inspire my inner most creativity. This past holiday season I decided to try some new pipping techniques.  Have you heard of scallop technique?  Check out this easy tutorial: Simple Scalloped Birthday Cake 
I didn't want to follow the traditional scallop pipping which usually is horizontal lay out, I decided to use if as drapery, vertically.

And to give the typical scallop pipping technique a twist, I used Wilton's open star pipping tip:

Then smear with a tiny spoon from center up to create that scallop edged dimple then embed a sugar pearl inside.

This second one is not as inventive, but surely as time consuming to make.  The overflow dripping "cream" is the hardest to create for me, I just don't seem to be able to time the right soap consistency.

This 3rd one is my own spontaneous try.  I was hoping to get a ribbon icicle or tassel look:

I used Wilton ribbon tip like this one:

My husband's favorite is when I pipe poppy flowers:

Maybe I will do a short video clip to show how I do them later so be on the watch out if you are interested!
