WARNING: A PICTURES HEAVY POST!!!
This blog has been neglected for a while and still I owe the post on natural facial creams I'd had tested by my customers.
But now, I want to show you I've been up to lately. As some of you may know, I've started to make favours of any kind- wedding, birthday, baby shower, 'first baby steps' favours, or whatever you need little soaps for. The great part of making this kind of soaps is that I don't have to wrap them. Those little beauties go to the customer wrapped by a wonderful and very creative girl, who's specialized in making all kinds of decoration. Visit her page to see more of what she makes.
These are some of the soaps she had wrapped and sent out to a client
always following client's wishes |

Then, I made more soaps, which I might keep for my store, because they make a perfect match. Look!
girls' and...... |
.....boys' soap |
looking cute together |
So, after making simple, rectangular soaps, we came up with the idea to create something more eye catchy. Thus, I made different cakes and cupcakes.

Then, I went a step further and wanted to pipe more and more. I decided to do more whipped soap and make cupcakes with whipped filling.
The whipped soap is specific, not only for using a different type of mixer, but also for its ingredients. To make soap stay fluffy and creamy, you are advised to minimize the percentage of liquid oils. Since summer has already come here, I decided to leave the liquid oils out and make this batch only with solid oils and fats. For this test batch of cupcakes, I used only coconut,lard and palm oil. Depending on the market demands ,I might be making the more exclusive varieties with butters.
So, here they are
Hope you still haven't run away!
So, if you need any kind of soap favours, or you know someone who does, you can send them to visit my webstore, or contact me on my mail, for more information on these.
Do you like these minis? Any suggestion for more varieties on favour soaps?
That was all for now!
Thanks for your patience and have a great weekend!
I see hours and hours of work there! (And many more hours of cleanup!) But everything came out truly stunning. I really love the delicate look to the pink and blue soaps. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHaha Amy, you're right, work is always pleasure, while cleaning is not that fun. I've come to like piping and whipping soap, it really looks edible. Thanks for your comment
DeleteI have been waiting for this post, after all the many soaps I saw on FB! So many and so beautiful! They look all soo good, but the girls and the boys soaps are unique and looking so delicate together! Congratulations, Maja and hope you will keep that busy!
ReplyDeleteWell I seem to have been a bit lazy to write, but I've been in the workshop obviously. Thanks dear, I also hope people here will want to be unique when doing favours .and showers.
DeleteYour soap favors are so cute, and what a great collaboration with you and Fabric Bouquets! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Silvia! Favours are fine,but I'd prefer to be doing your favours model- full sized soaps :-)
DeleteI'm afraid it'd be almost impossible here :-(
Oh my gosh, they are all so beautiful and amazing! Fabric Bouquets has done a beautiful job in wrapping your soaps, lovely complement to you lovely works of art.
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely been very busy, now you must have enough money from all your sales to hire someone to do your clean up for you. ;)
Haha, fun as usual, dear Monica! Most of them are actually demo soaps, because people want to see what they will get when order something. Yes, I've been busy, but still poor! But, you know what it's said here? From your mouth to God's ears!
