- Cordless Mini Mixer
- 10 Piece decorating Kit
- 2x 0.15cc Plastic Scoops
- Stainless Steel Heavy Gauge Soap Cutter
- Escali Digital Scale (or similar)
- Microwave or double boiler
- Gloves
Ingredients needed:
- 1kg SFIC White Melt and Pour Soap Base
- 624g of SFIC White Melt and Pour for the small loaf mold
- 50g of SFIC White Melt and Pour for the strawberries
- 90g of SFIC White Melt and Pour for the whipped topping
- 10g Italiano Rose Mica
- 10g Satin Orange Mica
- 30ml Strawberry Fragrance Oil
- 250ml Isopropyl Alcohol 99%
Optional: Sprinkles can be added if desired.
Process:
- Cut up the SFIC White Melt and Pour soap base and weight out 90 g in each measuring cup,
- Melt soap in one cup in 10 second burst, be careful not to overheat as that will cause sweating
- Mix 2 scoops of Italiano Rose Mica into some Isopropyl Alcohol. Once mixed pour into melted soap base. Stir well and add 3.5g of fragrance. After incorporating the mica and fragrance, pour your first layer into the soap mold , spritz with isopropyl alcohol to break up any bubbles and let it harden for about 10 minutes .
- If you pour the next layer too early it will break into the first layer and the colors will disperse into each other.
Note: if you use a different fragrance make sure you check the usage rate as you might need to use less fragrance for it to be skin safe!
While we wait for the first layer to harden we can get started on the Strawberry Embeds for the Top part.
- Weight out 50g of White SFIC Melt and Pour, melt the Soap base in 10 second bursts.
- Once melted, mix 3 scoops of Italiano Rose Mica with a little Isopropyl alcohol. Mix into the melted soap until they are well combined.
Note that with white soap base colors will always have a pastel look .If you want stronger colors use a clear melt and pour base!
- Add 2g of Fragrance to the soap and mix well. Once mixed, pour the soap into the Strawberry embed mold and spritz with Isopropyl Alcohol to break bubbles. Let these harden for about 10 to 15 min.
Now the 1st layer should be hardened enough to pour the 2nd layer into our loaf soap mold!
- Melt 90g of Stephenson White Melt and Pour in 10 sec bursts. Once melted add 1 scoop of Satin Orange mica into a little isopropyl alcohol and mix well. Add the Mica and Isopropyl Mix into the melted soap to get an orange hue for your 2nd layer. Weight out 3.5g Fragrance and add into the melted soap. Mix well .Once color and fragrance are well incorporated you can pour your second layer. Make sure to spritz some Isopropyl alcohol on the first layer to help the 2nd layer to adhere to it!
Now repeat the same for the next 5 layers changing between the pink and orange hue layer until the mold is fully filled with the soap all the way to the top.
Let it sit for about 3hours or until it's fully cooled all around when touching the mold.
Once it's cooled, unmold the soap loaf.
Now we are ready to add the whipped Top , Strawberries and some sprinkles!
- Weight out 90g of White SFIC Melt and Pour Soap. Melt the soap in 10 second bursts , once melted you can leave it white or add some colorant . I added a 1x 0.15cc spoon of Italiano Rose mixed into a little Isopropyl Alcohol , now add 3.5g of fragrance and mix well! Then take your mini mixer and whip it up for about 2min. It should double in size. If it gets too cold to work with don't worry you can just remelt it for a couple min and mix it again if needed with the mini mixer! Spray some Isopropyl alcohol for the whipped top layer to adhere to the last layer of the soap! You may also use a detailing tool to scratch a couple ridged lines into the soap where the layers can adhere to each other easier.
- Once it has somewhat cooled down and gets easy to pull, add the whipped soap to the top of your loaf soap! I went ahead and used a popsicle stick to kind of give the top a little detail. Then add the Strawberries and sprinkles by pushing them into the whipped soap.
- Once you're happy with the top, you can cut it!
You can cut your loaf into 4 equal slices. It's best to look straight down onto the soap to get an even cut! If any of your toppings are falling off during the cutting don't worry, you can easily push it back into the whipped soap while it's not fully hardened yet.
