Instructions in 14 steps This soap looks scrumptious. Create the piece of cake with melted and nougat-coloured soap. The topping consists of kneading-soap and motifs shaped with cookie cutters.

Besides the articles listed below, you also need: Scales, pot, melting pot, small plastic container, stirrers, kettle, cooking oil, craft stick

And this is how it works:

Step 1: Soap

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 2

After the complete melting, you can stir the desired colour and/or fragrance oil in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon. Pour it dropwise.

Step 3

Let the soap dry well out (at least 2-3 hours, ideally one day).

Step 4

Demould the soap by a slight pressure.

Step 5

Put a cream frosting (see instructions for cream rosette) with some liquid white soap onto the moulded soap slice and insert a heart cut-out by cookie cutter into still wet kneading-soap (see instructions for cookie cutter).

Step 6: Cream rosette

Mix the kneading-soap with hot water and the cooking oil – 50g of the kneading-soap with 20ml of hot water and about 5ml of the cooking oil.

Step 7

Stir this mixture with a craft stick and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 8

Then knead the mixture well again.

Step 9

Build together a pastry bag (without a bag) and fill it with some kneading-soap.

Step 10

Push the kneading-soap with a finger through the tip and shape at once the pushed out mixture.

Step 11: Cookie cutter

Melt the creative-soap in a water-bath on the stove (max. 60° - do not boil).

Step 12

After the complete melting, you can stir the colour in the liquid soap. Therefore, use a wooden spatula or a teaspoon. Pour it dropwise.

Step 13

Pour the melted soap onto a flat surface such as a small lid or some aluminum foil.

Step 14

Once the soap hardened, after at least half an hour, you can cut the desired motifs out by means of the cookie cutters.

Additional info and tools: The soap dries or rather carries on ripening and becomes thereby firmer (two up to three weeks). Depending on the temperature and airiness, the soap can perspire. We recommend therefore to wrap the soap after its demoulding in a cellophane foil. Clean the soap casting mould and the pots with hot water.
