Today we continue our Easter themed week with a 5 layer, cold process soap.
We have chosen an Easter theme for this soap and have used 5 different pastel shades of mica to create the layers in our soap. We are using soap frosting to pipe the top of today's soap and we are also using some soap dough Easter eggs which we have created and brushed with matching shades of mica.
We will take you through the process of creating this soap, showing you how to create layers in cold process soap and what technique to use to ensure the layers do not break through each other.
Below is the recipe we have used today. The given quantities will be enough to fill a 5lb loaf mold:
400g Water
218g Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
