Final Thoughts on the Fall Bramble Berry S.O.A.P. Panel

First of all, I want to give a huge ThAnK yOu to Bramble Berry for selecting me to choose the fall fragrances. It has been a blast and an amazing experience!


Soaps are in scent order from #1 (red & beige in the front) to #8 (the last soap on the right).



What I learned:
You may end up liking a fragrance even if you don't like it initially. That's how I felt about #2. My initial reaction was not so lovely, but it is now my second favorite! It fragrance has developed wonderfully in the soap and I think my customers will love it.  

Yes, you can make cp soap pops! If you want to swirl, you need to pour at a thick trace or the depth of the mold blends the colors together. Also, I did cpop the soap pops. This made unmolding easy, but you do need to be careful not to leave the oven on too long or you end up with dimpled soaps like the blue one or pink one.



Soaping is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're gonna' get!

Happy Soaping!

  1. These are lovely - are they cold process? How did you get them out of the mold and how did you get your ribbon bows so beautiful? I tie mine and they look terrible.

  2. They are cp and they came right out of the silicone mold. I just pushed on the bottom of each cavity like I do with m&p. I watched a "How to Tie a Bow" video on youtube and it helped tremendously. I used to be (and still am) a funny bow tier too :)
