\"Lemon<\/a>
Lemon Poppyseed soap by Great Cakes Soapworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This Lemon Poppyseed soap is made with completely natural ingredients. This was my first experience infusing annatto seeds in the olive oil to create a natural yellow color. It smells absolutely heavenly too! I used mostly straight-up lemon essential oil, with just a hint of litsea cubeba as well to help anchor the scent. The poppyseeds add some nice exfoliating action and help create the overall effect of a lemon poppyseed muffin.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Mint Soap by Great Cakes Soapworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As you can see, I’ve made another batch of Rosemary Mint soap since the first one failed so miserably<\/a>. I did the colors and layering a bit differently, and it turned out quite nice! Other than the green oxide coloring, the Rosemary Mint soap is all natural as well. I used rosemary and peppermint essential oils to add a nice herbal scent.<\/p>\n

Both of these soaps will be available at Greatcakessoapworks.com<\/a> on Thursday, February 24th.<\/p>\n

As a side note, if you look closely, you can see some little tiny air bubbles in these soaps. It would seem that my stick blender has suffered a leak around the blade and is sucking air into the soap. Again. Fortunately this is just a cosmetic issue and won’t affect the performance of the soap, but I’ve been through at least five stick blenders in the past four years. And now it’s time to go shopping for another one! If any of my soapmaking friends have suggestions for brands that might last longer, I’m all ears!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
