thecandlespastore Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Yeah, but I think the ones I see on the net have a frosting that dissolves. You just throw them in the bath just like a bath bumb or bubble bar. I have been trying to figure it out all day. Its either icing sugar (which I doubt) or you might be right, maybe it is whipped soap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatreats4u Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 i make cupcake soaps...if thats what you mean, but I use m&p so that it hardens fast. I whip it ALOT ( like a meringue) and then top it on the first layer...looks very real, i then add a topping: sprinkles, cocoa something like that.

thecandlespastore Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 That sounds yummy:drool: I am actually going after the cupcakes that are actually bath bombs.My title was a little vague, went to edit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatreats4u Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 i have seen it on bombs as well just a dollop of something hard but melts fast and its white...i thought it was a whipped butter but the only solid ones like cocoa butter, not sure how you whip them:undecided So thats probably not it. Hmmm wish I could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Depending on the size of you cupcakes, if you whipped up any butter and frosted the bomb, it might be too much butter, too greasy in the water. Maybe a mixture of mp and some cocoa butter, whipped. Are these made commercially? If so, get your hands on one, it may say on the packaging. You may be able to kinda figure it out just by feel. Is it soft, hard, dry and flaky, oily etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecandlespastore Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Thanks for the link:) I have been reading Nizzy's site for months, just have not gotten the guts, lol. I actually saw a bath cupcake online the other day and it said their frosting was icing sugar. I am off to the grocers to get some and see if that stuff melts in warm water. Maybe whipping a little SLSA into it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindsaycb Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 I did a batch using bunny's bath melt as the topping...but you can't use them together or you lose your bubbles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dovestudios Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 You can make a frosting with SLSA and it will be nice and hard and bubble when put unter the faucet. SLSA acts just like powdered sugar.You can make a mixture of a hard butter, like cocoa butter and tro with slsa and corn starch with a little cream of tartar (helps bubbles stay longer in the tub)...whip it all together and pipe out. Note** shea butter won't harden enough.I Hope this helps. I don't have an actual recipe, so you will need to experiment. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Turkey Red Oil - is sulferated (sp???) castor oil. It mixes pretty well with water so it's good in bath stuff, but stinks to high he!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made soem whipped soap, then the cocoa butter. Will have to try my hand at the SLSA paste tomorrow!I thought sugar was bad for your girly parts too, so thats why I was kind of grossed out for a moment.

maryann Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I thought sugar was too as far as sitting in it, in the shower you rinse it off when in your scrubs and soaps?! I think I'd turn to a professional in the medical field for that one. You don't want to cause infections of any kind especially if your selling them.Personally I'd stick to the whipped soap, did you see Gumpy Girl's in the gallery? It looks just like the real thing and you can market it as two products in one- a soap and bomb ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elle110 Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I have been banging my head with this one as well, tried 1000 different ideas. I wanted to do bath melts with the icing, first made the melt recipe and made the tiny cupcakes out of it, then made another batch of the melt recipe for the icing but could not get it to pipe out, I tried making a butter mixture and piping on,, it did work to some extent but not exactly what I was looking for. There was a link to a site in a thread that had the melts and looked like they made a merinque (sp?) icing. Please keep throwing ideas out there.BTW: can you whip M&P soap?

spatreats4u Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 yes you can whip m&p i make cupcakes this way. Its just not the same for bathbomb ideas.I have been banging my head with this one as well, tried 1000 different ideas.

mytime Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 yes you can whip m&p i make cupcakes this way. Its just not the same for bathbomb ideas.so you just melt M & P and whip it up in my kitchen aide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatreats4u Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I use a hand electric mixture as you have to move very fast and I dont think the kitchaide lets you do that. You have to watch it cuz it hardens FAST. melt in a glass container and ( once it gets a really light film on top) then whip once you start to see it set you have about 30 sec. to transfer to your cupcake. It may take practice but the results are cute.( more like a meringue) You can also pipe in a pastry bag but its a huge pita..again when it cool enough to touch you can pipe it but hardens fast.so you just melt M & P and whip it up in my kitchen aide?

maryann Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 This was a subject awhile ago http://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28809&highlight=icing maybe it'll help -there's a few links for frosting soap you all might like.

tonyalkay Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I just looked on the website that is posted above and their ingredients at the end say cocoa powder, sugar, meringue powder, potassium sorbate. I betcha that is what they used for the frosting. I would think it would make you sticky, do not know much about what you can use in bath and body products.

thecandlespastore Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 The baking soda and the citric acid would help with the sticky part maybe? I have yet to try it but I am going to give it a go on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
