I'm soooooooooo excited!! I've had this idea running around my head all week. But with so many failures, I've not wanted to waist the oils and such. Well last night I just couldn't get to sleep and HAD to make it.
Standard recipe (Olive, Palm, Coconut, Castor) but of course I had to go and get fancy adding two colours AND grated orange on top.
I actually thought I had enough orange EO to make an Orange batch for a girlfriend of mine (she loves orange), but I didn't so I ended up making it more a 'fruit punch' with some Mango, Papaya etc. Originally it was going to be a white batch with orange swirls, but with the added scents, I decided to do a white batch with orange and green swirls. The grated orange on top was already in the works, so I added that as well.
Using my Crafter's Choice mold. NO Gel (popped it in the freezer as I wanted light colours).
Are you ready?
Ready to see it?
It's very cool....
Ok... here it comes....
Going to show it now....
Ready?
1.... 2....
THREE!
It came out like a CHARM!! Sides pulled away without even the slightest resistance, and while still holding the mold upright, I lightly pushed up with my fingers and the entire batch practically fell out of the mold! I'm assuming that's because it was frozen
But hey, if that's what it takes! My freezer will just start feeling the love!
I'm too scared to cut it lol. I'm going to leave it ALL DAY to thaw. Possibly all night. I don't know, I might be too scared to cut it forever and just use one massive big block of soap, haha. Anyone know a giant in need of soap?

I won't be attempting this until a) the supply store re-opens next week, and b) Until I have produced at least 3 good batches with the 'newbie' recipe lol.
