Last time I soaped I made a few sample sized batches to test a couple new fragrance oils. Generally I spend the extra money and splurge on the really high quality oils that have been tested in cold process soap along with bath and body products. But there were a few that just sounded so yummy last time I was ordering some of my bath bomb fragrance oils. I ordered a few ounces of an oil called frosted cupcake. I wasnt sure if I would like it or not. I am not a big fan of ‘bakery’ smells. I just dont like that undertone many of them contain. I was pleasantly surprised with this oil! No funky undertone at all, it was more like a very light sweet scent, a little like my Laite Sucre. So I did a test batch with it. No color, no additives it is strictly plain soap with this fragrance oil in it. I expected some discoloring because of the vanilla notes Its been a month since I did this test so the discoloration should be at its fullest now and its just a slight beige color. I think it would look fantastic as a vanilla cupcake and make a whipped soap ‘frosting’ on top that isnt scented and that is whitened with some titanium dioxide! Im hoping to soap this soon. I need to get two other batches done first!
