At first i thought she was making actual eating cupcakes, but the i heard her say sls and put on a chemical mask, and then i was like, whoa, mom would love this!
so the " bath fizzy cup cakes " and " pump up your bath time" and " bath bomb cupcakes" in clear big letter wasn't a big enough give away ? lol .. not to mention the title... and ya know ... citric acid is just yum
I've been watching tutorials all night and this is by far the best and most helpful. Thanks so much. I can't wait to order supplies from your site and get started!!
Amanda Rockett-Fadden Hi Amanda! So glad you like the tutorial, and thanks for watching! Have fun making these cupcakes. Definitely let us know how they turn out! =)
Wow! I'm still wowed on how calm you are. you take criticism really well and stay positive. Most recipes I saw contained sugar. So far, none I searched had any problems on an infection. Hats off to you. I'm so excited to start making bath bombs and all thanks to you ❤️
LOVE LOVE LOVE bathbombs! Got to make my first batch a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Great website, great RU-vid channel, great teaching! Thank you Anne-Marie! =)
Hi Violet Sparkles! Meringue powder helps make the frosting firm! Without it, the frosting can be sticky or dented easily. We definitely recommend using it. =) Also, we added warm distilled water to make the frosting wet. Sorry for any confusion!
I love this video! You can tell that Anne-Marie really had fun/enjoyed making this video! Are there plans for making videos on how to make lip balm or hot-process soap?
I don't feel that you are speaking to us like children in your videos. I'm very impressed and it seems like everyone can benefit from them and they are very easy to follow. In addition, you are giving everyone an opportunity to start their own business. I personally think you are amazing. Thanks for all your beautiful clear and easy to follow videos
Absolutely fantastic - I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PROPPER FROSTING TOPPING FOR BATH FIZZIES - I've looked and looked and looked. Thank you so much for uploading this one is PERFECT.
Hi Anne-Marie. I'm using your recipe from your SoapQueen site: 3 tablespoons Meringue Powder 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar 1 lb. Powdered Sugar 5 tablespoons Hot Water 1/4 teaspoon Fragrance Oil Disposable Frosting Bag 1M Frosting Tip My frosting is hardening perfectly. However, when placed in the bath, it doesn't melt. The whole top just floats in the water. If i use SLS, will that solve my problem? Thanks!!!
Hi Jordyn Gamble! We use a mask in this recipe because the powder can tickle the back of your throat. However, it is totally skin safe! Also, once it's mixed into your recipe, no mask is needed. =) You can definitely make a different recipe if you choose though! That's what's so awesome about making your own bath and beauty products. =)
Loopy I thought I made them with SLS (Im a new soaper) but I actually used SLSA. I didn't figure it out until my mix was super chunky. I added more water and it became smoother and thinner and came about beautiful! Im actually happy about the mistake because SLSA seems safer according to what I read. Hopefully, Anne- Marie will think its fine for this fizz. Thank you Anne-Marie its another great one!
Excellent reply! Good to see others not bothered by catty negative attitudes and responding in return with kindness!... And because of that I subbed! And great channel, BTW! :)
Hi Aki Modrell! We've used these bath bombs with no trouble, but you can definitely skip the frosting if you like! It's great to be able to customize your products. =)
I tried a batch last night. After icing the cupcake bath bombs I stick them in the freezer for a few minutes to help the icing set. After sitting for a day they are pretty hard. I'm going to let them sit for about 3 days before I try to package them. I had alot of fun making mini ones.
Hi Josh! Avocado oil or sweet almond oil would be a good substitute! They're lightweight and moisturizing. =) Avocado oil: www.brambleberry.com/Avocado-Oil-P3198.aspx Sweet almond oil: www.brambleberry.com/Sweet-Almond-Oil-P3205.aspx
I love your videos and how you handle habitual complainers. (cough, cough, tomato queen ) You have my repect. You are so complete and easy to follow. Thank you. Can't wait to try this. BTW. The amount of soap to water dilution WILL NOT cause a yeastie beastie. Simple math. Some people should stay away from lab work.
Thank you soap queen. I am an advid shopper in at brambleberry I love the products. I had just gotten a little confused with the description of the DPG on your website. I thought if you used the MP frangrance oils out side to soap you had to cut it with another product. THANK YOU for clearing that up for me!!!!
First, thank-you for all your wonderful videos! Now is it ok for me to use cooking mixer with these and then use the same beaters to use with food again? I read I shouldn't use same metal pots and utensils I use for soap and candles with food . I'm not sure about this because of the fragrance. Thanks!

@soapqueentv Thanks abunch, I think I may have used too much but I am going to try both next time, I hated having to peel off the paper in little tiny pieces...lol Thanks again..for everything you are AWESOME!!
Dear Anne-Marie, I live in NZ and I have met with blank looks and just plain "huh?" when asking for meringue powder. Not even baking suppliers and wholesalers have it. There is no demand due to the availability of good cheap free range eggs! So, for your six bath bombs how many egg whites OR what does it say on the side of your tin? Each scoop = ?ounces =?egg whites. I found a recipe for bath biscuits which I am going to try with eggs too. Please don't be too worried about the eggs - I have seven happy hens and the girls are busy AND have two new chickiebabes joining them soon. Also, I adore your videos. Informative, clear, precise and so easy to follow. Often, I can hear your voice as I get out the Caustic Soda, " safety first", as I do your checklist. All I want/need/want are a pink pair of the Soap Safety Specs!! Glam to the Max... Is there a form of bar that you can use in the shower, like a moisture/soap bar? With a good scent and/or exfoliation?? Like a soapy crumbly bath bomb type thingy? Maybe I need to invent what I am explaining so badly.Thank you again for all the excellent hard work you and your team do, it really is appreciated.
+Amanda Pittar Hi Amanda! In addition to egg whites, meringue powder also has other ingredients like salt and xantham gum. Because of that, I don't think straight egg whites would work in this recipe. They may also make the frosting a bit wet, and cause them to go bad in just a couple weeks. You can see the meringue powder ingredients here: www.brambleberry.com/Meringue-Powder-P5234.aspx Instead, you can use a frosting recipe without meringue powder! We have a recipe that uses Foaming Bath Butter, which is nice and fluffy. You can find that recipe here, it's the second one: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/melt-and-pour-soap/foaming-bath-whip-frosting/ Also, we do make soapy cupcakes! I'll include a link below. We also have a video for cold process cupcakes coming out Thursday. =) Luscious Lemon Cupcakes: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/melt-and-pour-soap/luscious-lemon-cupcakes/ Thanks for your sweet comments!
Wow! That was so helpful! Who needs meringue powder when you have Soap Queen on hand 24/7? I shall follow up all leads, thank you so much and thank you for taking the time to reply at such length. Kind regards, Amanda oOoOOoo
Is the SLS absolutely necessary? Can we omit it ? It kind of defeats the purpose of having lovely natural bath bomb cupcake. Also as we use sugar, in the bathtub do we become sticky with the meringue?
Hello! You can definitely leave out the SLS. I added it in this recipe because it creates great big bubbles, but it is an optional ingredient. I'll include some fizzy recipes that don't use SLS below. You can also substitute with SLSA, which is a natural product. Also, I have used these in the tub and didn't notice any stickiness. You may want to test one to see if you feel any though. =) Mini Heart Bath Bombs: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/bath-fizzies/show-love/ Sparkle Power Bath Bomb Tutorial: www.soapqueen.com/bath-and-body-tutorials/bath-fizzies/sparkle-power-bath-bomb-tutorial/ SLSA: www.brambleberry.com/Sodium-Lauryl-Sulfoacetate-SLSA-P5244.aspx
OMG! i love your videos! i have watched this one more than a hundred times over and over again ;) it was really helpful! excuse my bad englisch but im 13 and from holland ;) keep going!
Depending wear your are... In Canada they sell it at Bulk Barns. Some Grocery Stores carry it as well. I have also seen it at Michaels Craft store. If you have any local baking/craft stores take a look.
You said I could use cocoa butter instead of SLS. I am a big believer of using sulfate free body care. How much cocoa butter would I use to substitute? Also would I melt it first or how would I add it in? Thanks
I don't think just substituting Cocoa Butter for SLS will work well in this recipe - since the SLS is a powder and when melted the cocoa butter will be a liquid (of course, I haven't tried it - if you do and it works I'd love to know!). I have an SLS free recipe that was shared with me form a guest host in this video How to Frost the Perfect Bath Fizzy . So that might be a better alternative for you! Or if you want to make a bath melt style topping maybe a whipped body butter would be the perfect topping. How to Make Whipped Body Butter
Instead of using SLS can you use SLSA (Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate) instead and make them Bubble Bath Bomb cupcakes or would this change the texture of the frosting? Excellent Video!
Meringue powder is normally sold in craft stores in the US. So, if you have something like a JoAnne's or Micheal's in Sweden, I'd check there before a grocery store. Of course, there's also the internet.
Hi! I've been watching your videos forever! Please post more soon! I hope to start making soup soon, may I say, you are so beautiful! And your voice is very pretty. Thank you, I love you all! God bless you and everyone!
Oh thanks!!last thing.I ve made the recipe 3 times already and it seems I have the same problem..after one day the cupcakes look fantastic dry and solid.the problem is that sometimes if I accidentally grab them from the frosting to put them into nice liitle bags the frosting comes off.long story short the frosting doesn't stick well to the base of the bomb.is this how it should be that's why you grab them from the base?
Ive finally made my cupcake bath bombs Yay! They smell and look Fab, just have a problem you may be able to help me with. My frosting seems to dry sooo quickly (even as iam piping it) and when i try to add my sprinkles they wont stick . Thank you for all your advise youve been a great help. :))
Hi Hannah Schamber! We haven't noticed any problems with these cupcakes, but you may want to double check with your doctor to be sure! Also, adding the frosting is optional. That's one of the great things about making your own bath and beauty products. =)
Hello Ann Marie, another great video. I had a question about the frosting. If the icing hardens before you finish how do you soften the icng to make it pipeable, also since the icing contains powder sugar will the icing eventually mold or rott? Thank you!!!
I just read the description and saw your name and Anne is my sisters middle name and Marie is my middle name. Subscribed! :) by the way, you're amazing!
My sister and me can't wait to start making soaps :D Would you suggest I begin using a kit? Also, your links in the drop-bar have included the commas so they're not working xx
hi soap queen, i wanted to know is the brambleberry fragrance oil skin safe to just add to a bath salt and body scrub recipe or do i need an additive? I miss you and can not wait until your next video post!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you.
I was wondering, how the "Frosting" dissolves int he bath tub, and how long it takes. Would it be possible to use whipped melt and pour soap as a topping, or would this make the bomb prematurely react? I think I saw melt and pour topping on a cupcake bath bomb somewhere, which it why I ask. My last question... If it is possible to use whipped melt and pour soap, would ti risk prematurely reacting the bath bomb after wards since, glycerin attracts moisture to itself. Thank you. :)
I use silicone molds like the one you used and I make bath bombs in them and I don't always use liners and the bath bombs pop right out really easily, just saying :)
What's a good substitute for meringue powder? My kids are allergic to egg. It wouldn't likely cause a serious reactions since it's topical, but it might cause hives or skin irritation. Thanks.
The stores don´t sell meringue Powder where I live so my abseloutley last question is...Can you crush regular meringues to get the same meringue powder?
Hi sometimes my frosting doesn't dissolve in the bath or takes ages, its rock hard,would adding some bicarbonate of soda to the frosting help. Thank ou Debbie
What happens if you dont use SLS? Will the frosting come out differently? Also does it harden if you package them or wrap them up? They arn't messy like real iceing are they?
This is great! thank you =) I have a question. I made some yesterday and frosted them. I used the same recipe except I didn't use SLS or the Jojoba oil. MY frosting was thick but when i frosted the cupcakes, the frosting didn't stay the same lol I mean it was coming down and not staying nice as i applied them... why is that?
Hey Anne-Marie, I've heard that powder sugar is not good for hmmmm lady parts while taking a bath! Is that true? I really like how the cupcake looks like with the frosting!
