\"Cherries<\/a>
Cherries & Chestnuts Soap by Great Cakes Soapworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nI was very excited to try a new fragrance and technique this week. Cherries & Chestnuts was a challenge since the fragrance will turn the soap a dark brown. For the first layer, I wanted some dark cherry red color, so I had to pull out some of the soap and colored it before I added fragrance to the rest. I added just a bit of titanium dioxide to the other half (with the fragrance) to lighten the color and swirled them together in the mold. <\/p>\n

The second layer is just the regular soap scented with Cherries & Chestnuts. I really like this scent! It’s subtly sweet and just plain yummy. The soap will continue to darken as it cures, but here is your first peek! I will make this fabulous soap available on Saturday, August 22, along with the Pumpkin Pie<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
