Soap Piping for smaller bars. 

Ok I know that this is an old video but those who complain about the kids should go watch something else. The kids are great and i remember thinking the were a bit of an distraction but not anymore and hearing them grow up over the years have been an absolute delight. They are always respectful and do whatever they are asked and are eager to please and help. You have done an awesome job.

You could also spritz tops with alcohol to help new soap adhere. I hope it works well. It certainly looks pretty.

I am SO excited!! It never crossed my mind to pipe the soap AFTER cutting. I have a multi-bar cutter, and it is such a struggle to get piping and embeds lined up correctly that I don't do it as often as I would like. Thank you for sharing!

I love you work it’s amazing, I’m just starting to make soap and fixing to learn to pipe my soap so I am glad I came across your video.

I enjoyed this video. I piped my valentines day soap too high and it barely fit in my cutter. This is another technique that I can use and not worry about if it's too high

I haven’t read all of the comments but it’s eden’s secrets that has been piping cut bars of soap.

You know I think you are amazing doing all this with the kids there and you always seem so relaxed , huge hugs to you and the kids , there just darling to listen to

It might have been Ariel's Secret Garden, they used to pipe individual bars sometimes. I like doing that too, it looks so awesome!

Omg......those are absolutely GORGEOUS! I've seen quite a few soap videos, but yours are the most beautiful that I've seen🌸🌸🌸

You could make another soap and use these ones on top and just pipe some leaves next to the rose or a vine to kinda connect or hide, just let the other soap more in the mold so it cuts equally hard or the bottom of cupcakes and these for the top. Always a pleasure watching your videos.

Hey! just what ive been searching for! the soap swirls are stunning..love it.

Thank you so much for your video and recipe. I tried and worked perfectly.

The women work few jobs at the same time: watching children , preparing meals, doing laundry and gardening, cleaning, making soaps, intertwining and satisfying husbands, making videos for RU-vid and other social media… Husbands usually come home, eat and lay on the couch…

Hello there...I'm still in the research phase of learning how to make soap and have been watching lots and lots of videos on RU-vid just so that I might be more confident in my ability to make soap. I've also purchased a few books hoping to get a good handle on things before I start. One of the books I have is on making milk-based soaps... my goodness! Reading through how SLOWLY and CAREFULLY the lye had to be added to the partially frozen milk sitting in a ice water bath scared the b'geebers out of me! I felt as if I would be one who would end up ruining multiple batches before getting the technique down... Then I watched this video! Even though I've watched MANY of your videos (thank you for sharing how you do what you do), until watching this one, I hadn't realized how you incorporate milk into your soaps... I think reading that milk-based book made me more attuned to what you do. WOW! So much EASIER to add the milk products to the oils while sticking with adding the lye to the water! I would really like to learn how to make milk-based soaps the way you do. I thought I'd start by using the recipe you've provided. The main question I have is about knowing how much lye and water to use... your recipe doesn't mention either... since you use powdered goats milk, is the amount of water equal to what would be used to reconstitute the powder? How do you determine how much lye to use? Is the Tussah silk added to the lye solution or to the water before the lye is added? I'm sorry for all the questions... I'm really a newby just trying to become a part of this soap-making community! Thanks for your help.. With warm regards, Katherine

is your piping soap recipe the same as your regular soap batter for the bars you make or is it completely different? I'm wanting to do some piping for my soaps but not sure if using the same recipe for both bar and piping

you should use the piped roses as inbeds for the top of a fancy soap

"My lye solution is a little warm..." "MOM!" uh-oh.... and then you pick it up and turn around and I'm waiting for it to come back safely to the table. lol. Though logically I know if you posted the video, nothing happened. I'm a stay-at-home mom and a soapmaker, but this is the stuff of my nightmares. Kid wanting me NOW in the middle of soaping. Normally I just wait for him to sleep or soap when the husband is home... Frankly, if my kid had called me before putting in the lye, I'd have attended to him and made sure he was occupied before continuing. You know your kids and what you can pull off best, but stuff like this gets me really frazzled. I need undisturbed time when working with lye. I don't know how you can focus on soap, filming AND a child in occupy mom mode. Don't care about noise. Kids will be kids. Was just freaking out that they could be too close - from the sound of it. Don't want to sound discouraging and I am fully aware that we all have demands on our time and practical considerations and limitations on when we can do stuff, but please don't. All it takes is once to regret forever. And I am not saying this as a snob, I'm speaking as someone who has been a single mother and tried to make a living from handmade soaps and soaped in the middle of the night when that was all the clear time I got. I KNOW that sometimes, there is no such thing as quiet time. For the people thinking that commenting on the kids is some kind of "no can do" because they are cute, it is not a badge of honor to work with lye with kids around. For that matter, it doesn't help the creative process to have two things to focus on. Both urgent.

Might have been Momma Hamblin that did piping on bars. Love it!

I think they are just beautiful Jen!! I love piping soap! I love how white and pure the soap is!! Valerie. :)

Hooray! I've been wondering if this would work or not!

Kids are part of life, DON'T like it don't watch. Tip: if your mixture starts to firm too much, squish the bag some and it will soften back up.

Isn’t that how ALL children (and husbands) are?! Just when you become immersed in what YOU want to do, they start calling your name! Lol 😂 Beautiful soap!!!

Thank you so much for this video 💕 your soaps came out beautiful ❤️

Big change with your adding that beautiful topping to your soaps. 😆

Great idea! They look wonderful!

Oh no Jen they are all very beautiful.

Omg this is so clever!! I really love watching your videos

Oh wow how pretty I stepped out to take care of my elderly dog. Are they gardenias? Beautiful.

Thank you, I have been wondering what I could do with my soaps that are rather short. I will have to try this.

I seen a lady pipe roses directly on a marble countertop and though "wow that's crazy" but it made a flat surface. I think maybe wax paper directly on the flat surface, make the roses then transfer it to the round tray to dry....won't move around on you that way. But as usual...awesome vid. One question.... If it sets up....can you melt it or its just done?

looks like mini roses beautiful

Hi, new subscriber here, so far you're the best in soap piping. My eyes hurts from all searching and reading all the videos for piping and I finally found you. If I may ask you...in your Free Recipe: 5% Castor Oil 10% Cocoa Butter 20% Coconut Oil 55% Olive Oil 10% Shea Butter...is this the overall recipe for your piping as shown in your video? and what about this: Additives: (optional) 5% Cream (Subtract from water amount) 1 TBSP each per lb of oils Kaolin Clay Colloidal Oatmeal Goat Milk Powder Tussah silk for lye solution (small cotton ball size) 1 teaspoon of color per lb of soap...is this included in the recipe? if not...how much water and lye is added to the recipe...sorry if I ask too much..I haven't made any soap ..but I'm just doing some research and try your recipe..thank you very kindly in advance.

So very pretty Great Job !! TFS A'nna

Well, rule of thumb 3 parts lie to 1 part water or is it the other way around? It's missing from the recipe for piping,I guess we can eye ball it but we'd waste a lot of product,it says you can get other recipes on face book but we can't do that either,well geez,pretty bars too.

Did it stick to the soap

Thank u jen :-)))))) always wondered how other sooaper did it thank u

Wilton makes disposable piping bags. I wonder if they would work.

Jen I know this is an older video so wanted to know if you had any trouble with the piping sticking to the soap bars? So informative!! Thanks for sharing!!

I really like the piping. the piping really set up fast. what kind of cream do you recommend? I would like to try cream just not sure if I should look for a particular kind? thank you for this vidieo, great idea!!!

How do you cut the melt and pour so straight

The finished product is very pretty. Was it a success, did the add on swirls adhere to the original bar of soap?

How much water and lye should I use for a 2 pound mix for frosting the bars?

excellent video. thank you

hi girl can i plwase have a recipe for about a 31/2 pd mold i am very new love your soaps thanks

I love children BUT...I’m praying the children aren’t able to get into the soaping area. The soap is sooooo Basic it could burn them blind them if it gets in their eyes etc. I love listening to them but accidents happen and children should NEVER be around soaping.

What oils are you using?

HI jen please can you tell me what soap batter you used for piping? My olive oil, coconut oil & shea butter mix hardens so fast and sometimes seizes! I would so appreciate a reliable recipe so i can pipe without the stress of hurrying! Thankyou!

Love it. Thanks for the tips.

Do you please offer the written recipe 🙌🙏🙌

you mention what the tip size was? I missed that! Very nice video.

how long did it take to set up for piping? Love your videos!!

My darn piping keeps popping off:( does alcohol help it stick or create a barrier? is 2 hours too long to wait to add the piping? I want to try this with my soaps that are now topless

Am i the only momma here that little Noah makes melancholy for the days of my/your boys/children running around?

Hi Jen, as a new soaper myself what is the wilton tip in this video please,

What do you mean by cream? Like actual thickened dairy from a cow cream or is it something else?

what is the website to the place where you got piping bags.I am interested. thanks in advance

The kids jajaja Love it!

what tip did you use

This was called a realalist soap video she’s a real mom she didn’t feel the need to beep out the kids or put music on it doesn’t bother me at all they always find the bad n every video smh

pretty

How long do yo let it sit?

what was the liquid in the bottle you added in

Hi Yellow Cottage Soapery she pipes soap all the time she's good

what tip

you're talented no doubt, but kids in the background were highly distracting and loud. should have a babysitter when you record

your son is sooooo cute

No kids in the background would be more productive. Not everyone likes to hear noisy kids while watching tutorials that's why I stopped watching your video I found it to be too distracting.
