CREAMSICLE SOAP

(Submitted to Soap Wizards by Ela Heyn)

MATERIALS:

• Opaque soap base
• Soap molds (Can use any shape; can also use popsicle molds from the grocery store or candy store for this!)
• Popsicle sticks (optional)
• Color (I use FD&C red and yellow for this)
• Scents (I use an orange FO, and a non-discoloring vanilla FO)

TECHNIQUE:

1. Melt some opaque soap base, and scent it with a non-discoloring vanilla FO. Do not color it.

2. Pour into soap molds until molds are approximately 4/5 full. If adding popsicle sticks, add them now.

3. Let the soap set up.

4. Once the soap has hardened, unmold it and set it aside. Now melt a small bit of opaque soap base (approximately 1/4 to 1/3 as much as you prepared before). Scent this with your orange FO, and color it orange (1 drop of red food color to 2 or 3 drops of yellow should work nicely).

5. Pour the orange soap base in a thin layer onto the soap molds you used before. Now take the white, vanilla soap that you had made and SQUISH it very hard into the mold (and into the orange base). Either squish it hard enough that the base pours over the top of the soap (to surround all sides of the white soap), or pour additional orange base from your measuring cup over the top of the white soap. Either way, make sure that all white soap is coated under a coat of orange soap.

6. Let harden and unmold. An orange creamsicle soap just like the ice creams you enjoyed as a child in the summer!

If you are looking for other recipes, check out some of the links in the side bar or check in my archive. There are alot of recipes in both places. I am always looking for new recipes to post on my blog, so please return in the future.
