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?
