It does take some practice to cut them without having them crumble. A candy mold or the silicone mold I typically use doesn't require cutting them. They have to be packed very tight in the mold, then taken out after being in the refrigerated for about 30 minutes. Either way, I haven't figured out how to make a full batch without a few cracking or breaking apart. After sitting out a few days, they become a lot firmer and are easier to handle.

I hope that helps.. It's been fun trying to figure these out! Even the messed up ones are nice to use.

Malia - Do you mind if I ask the recipe for your Solid Sugar Scrub Cubes? I tried some today but I am not sure if I am going to like them or not. I used beeswax. I have Polawax that I use for lotions. Will that work for these? Thanks.

It's similar to mine but I add more sugar which can be a little more tricky to cut, so I use a silicone mold that is perfect size for this. Let me know how you do.

Thank you! Hopefully this afternoon I will have some time to make some. I have to clean for my birthday party tomorrow (yeah, I know that sucks that I have to clean for my own birthday but whatever) and knowing myself, it will take me all day to do it. LOL! I hate cleaning and will put it off as long as I can. I will let you know how it works when I get it done.
