Spellbound - Handmade Soap

Awww, so I got a special order to make my Rose Garden "cake" soap, but with BLACK roses... for a bridal shower, of all things!!  What fun it was to see this unique soap come to life,  and the results... a lovely Activated charcoal (on the "frosting") with the most amazingly intriguing "Spellbound" scent, sure to capture the heart of anyone who receives one, for ever!!

I  used the recipe below and just set aside about 3 cups for the black "frosting" and added activated charcoal to it until I reached the color I wanted.  Just be careful with it because it can get everywhere!!

Rose Garden Handmade Cold Process/Oven Process Soap

These amazing "cake" soaps are as beautiful to look at as they are fun to use!!!

They make a lot of bubbles and the scent is a lovely soft rose scent, like a morning walk through a rose garden.  I used two recipes for this soap, one for the "batter" and one for the "frosting" see below, as I don't have the source of where I got it. 

Frosting/Piping Recipe (I'll look for the source and post it):
16 oz Coconut oil
13 oz Olive oil
3 oz Shea butter
4.7 oz Lye
9 oz Water

The mold I used here was wider on top, so I no longer it.  Instead I use the one on the link below because it makes it easier to wrap a label when the bar is the same width top to bottom.
