I made some cupcake soaps this week. It’s been a looong time since I’ve made any, and I was fretting about how to decorate them.
My very first soap cupcakes were decorated with non-soap, regular cake decorations. They looked pretty, but not really practical 😀
I moved on to piping decorations with leftover soap from other projects. Much more appropriate for bathing with, but I still wasn’t happy with the result:
So I had a root around Pinterest and found a tutorial for making soap roses here on the French SoapSession blog. I have a bit of French (but to be honest the pictures speak for themselves) so I gave it a go. I didn’t think to take any photos (oops!) as I made them but here’s what I came up with:
As it turned out I felt my cupcakes looked good enough ‘naked’ this time, and so chose not to add any extra decoration:
But I did use a couple of flowers on some ‘leftover’ soaps – so called because the bases were made from leftover cupcake batter (I’d run out the round cupcake cases and so dropped the leftover batter into a couple of heart shape moulds) and the tops were made out of leftover cupcake frosting (just glooped and swirled on top) I thought a couple of pink flowers would look cute on top. What do you think?
Those are absolutely gorgeous! Love the hearts, they are so delicate looking and the flowers on top are perfect.
Thanks Monica! Just need a project to put them to good use now 😀
Thank you very much for the link. Your roses are beautiful 🙂
Thanks!
Looks good enough to eat! The cupcake with pink and white frosting looks like frozen yogurt. Now I want one! 🙂
Ha, not as tasty as they look, sadly 😀 Thanks for stopping by!
They look amazing! I could pass these off as mine 😉 xx

Hehe!! 😀 xx
Holy Moley!! These are amazing!!
😀 thanks!
is it possible to share how u made the pink and white frosting that looked like yoghurt. it looks so good.
Hi Elaine. It’s just my normal soap recipe, but I colour half of it pink and half white with TD. Once it’s thickened up enough I spoon the white and the pink into the same piping bag. It’s just a standard star shaped piping nozzle. Hope that helps – there’s no real secret to it (though I think the lighting in the photograph adds to the effect too 😀 )
