I’ve received a couple of testimonials recently about the Great Cakes Soapworks Lip Butter that are too good not to share. They are actually quite similar! The first is from Jared Cash, a local friend of a friend. He says, It seems that every time the climate changes even a little, I have to deal [...]
It was such a close call! Almost Paradise was ahead from the beginning, and stayed that way most of the time the poll was open. There were a couple of times that it was tied with Moonlit Woods, and ended up just barely ahead! I really believe that any of the names would work well [...]
This is it! Last day to cast your vote for your favorite name for the new lotion fragrance! Thanks to everyone who has already voted – we have 55 votes, and a near tie for first place. I may have to cast the tie-breaking vote if one doesn’t pull ahead by the end of the [...]
I’ve spent some time pondering over all the suggestions I received for the new lotion fragrance. The creative juices started flowing and after putting together words that were suggested, I narrowed it down to my top three. I have set up a poll for you to vote for your favorite out of the three. I’ll [...]
I’ve sent out some samples of a new “mystery” lotion to some of my customers, hoping that they would be able to help me name it. About a month ago I received a sample of this fragrance that was so good, I knew it had to be used. The problem is the name. It’s a [...]
That’s what Autumn of Autumn Asks Why set out to discover. I sent her three bars of my Old-Fashioned Lye Soap several weeks ago for her experiment. Autumn’s recipe is a combination of washing soda, borax, oxygen booster, and grated bar soap. She has tried four different types of bar soap for in her quest [...]
As you may know, I made a new Whipped Shea Butter recently with some refined, high melt point shea butter. I sent out samples to nine women who responded that they would like to try it, and they have sent me their feedback. You’ll get a good giggle out of my friend Autumn’s feedback. We’ve [...]
As you might know, I make all-natural insect repellent products in the form of soap, solid stick, and sprays. They’re called the “Bug Off” products. Seems like an appropriate name, right? Apparently, another large company thinks so too, only they actually have the rights to the name. Lynn Inglima of 1846 House Soaps & Handmade [...]
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Lotion Fragrance Survey! I received 59 responses, and felt that it was a huge success! Random.org picked participant #53 as the winner of an 8 oz. Jojoba-Shea Lotion, which just happens to be Angie P.! Congratulations!! And now, the results you’ve all been waiting for. [...]
It’s time to start thinking about which lotion fragrances you would like to see offered at Great Cakes Soapworks! I have been making Jojoba-Shea Lotions for three years now, but my inventory was completely depleted over the holidays, and it’s time to re-stock for this year. You won’t find many lotions that don’t contain some [...]
