Even though it cooled down a bit earlier in the week so I could make some goat’s milk soaps, the Brown Sugar & Fig is still quite soft. I was able to cut a slice and take a picture of it, but I’m going to wait another day to cut the rest. I really hope these will be ready in time for the Overland Park Fall Festival on September 25th!!<\/p>\n

This was my first time coloring goat’s milk soap. I don’t know why I never have before – I guess I figured I needed to work quickly to get the soap in the mold and under a fan so it wouldn’t overheat. Coloring takes a bit more time. There are actually two different shades of purple here, but you can’t really tell since I dusted the top with bronze mica. I think the creamy colored base may darken a bit as it cures.<\/p>\n

The Pumpkin Pie soap turned out fabulously. (Just like last year – so I can use the same photo!) I’ve even stamped them again with the pumpkin stamp, because let’s face it – aside from the yummy scent, that’s what really makes the soap! It’s a bright orangey pumpkin color for now, but it will turn more brown as it cures:<\/p>\n

Hoping and praying both of these will be available by Saturday, September 25th!<\/p>\n

Update<\/strong> on the Caramel Apple soap test<\/a>: the fragrance is growing a little bit stronger each day. This may be one of those scents that likes to play hide and seek. The Brown Sugar & Fig tends to get stronger as it cures as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
