Winter Wonderland Soap by Great Cakes Soapworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nMake note of this! I actually made a test batch of soap with a new fragrance! Three things I noted, plus one bonus:
\n1. My colorant amounts were off – red and green became dark pink and light green.
\n2. I can’t discount the water as much as I normally do. There was no time to really “swirl” – so I glopped and manipulated with a bamboo skewer.
\n3. There doesn’t seem to be any discoloration – yippee!
\nBonus: Now I will have some sample-sized soaps to include in online orders!<\/p>\n

Winter Wonderland is not your typical holiday fragrance – which is why I like it so much! It’s a cool, citrus-y blend that starts out with grapefruit, orange, bergamot, and lemon. I was sure there must be some peppermint in there, but the rest of the fragrance description includes florals such as violet, cyclamen, bois de rose, and a hint of gardenia, and base notes of citronella, sandalwood, jasmine, and musk.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to make a full-sized batch or two this coming week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
