You can use any clear liquid soap.

Thanks so much!!!

Yes you can use liquid glycerin. It works perfectly. I'm not sure about castile soap since I've never tried this as a recipe replacement. If you're going to try it maybe cut the recipe in half just in case it doesn't work the way you want it.

@@BeforeBedShop Thank you! I wasn’t sure if vegetable glycerin was the same as straight glycerin

@@BeforeBedShop Also, with a big loaf do you frost the whole loaf first and then cut it? Or do you cut the loaf first and then frost?

@@Randomdog81 I frost the entire loaf. Spritz it with rubbing alcohol when your done. You can add embeds, glitter or drizzle. Let it sit over night then cut it the next day.

@@Randomdog81 the liquid glycerin will require more whipping time. You can whip on a higher speed for the first minute or so but then lower the speed to ensure you get that fluffy, pipable texture

Those are clear plastic bath bomb molds. I don't use them as molds. I just use them to hold the bath bombs while I paint them or while they rest on the rack until I label and seal them. They keep the bottom from getting flat and make it really easy to hold while painting.

@@BeforeBedShop ty!!! Game changer lol why havent I thought of that😄

@@mehangunter9243 it makes everything so much easier.

I spray/spritz

I've never tried it but it's worth a try. Let me know how it turns out.

Awesome. I'm so glad you like it

I typically wrap them the next day so about 24 hours.

@@BeforeBedShop Thanks so much!

@@lindapiccotti3311 any time :)

No, You are beautiful!! ;)

Oh I'm so glad it helped.

It's perfect for frosting cupcake soaps.

@@BeforeBedShop Thank you! I've been searching a good melt and pour soap frosting as I'm a little too scared to be working with lye. I'll be trying this out tomorrow!

Measure it before you melt it.

I have a mold for them. I got it from an etsy seller years ago. I think Amazon has some now. Search silicone molds on there. They have some amazing ones. The 3d ones are my fav.

Thanks for your sweet comment. Which boxes? I get my mini boxes for soap samples from papermart.com. I always check their sale section and grab whichever ones are on sale.

If you are putting it on soap that was made previous you should definitely put slits in the area you are piping on. Slide a knife over the area in criss cross motions the spritz it with rubbing alcoho right before you pipe the frosting on top l. It helps hold the frosting in placem

@@BeforeBedShop ok so what I understood was to make criss cross design on top of the whole soap and then spray alcohol and then put the whipped frosting ? Thank you for replying I am getting into soaps at the moment

@@damien8286 Yes. It helps the frosted soap adhere to the soap bar/ loaf. This doesn't need to be done if you are making cold process soaps but its a great option for melt and pour. soaps

Any liquid soap will work. Clear is best.

The only part not shown is the whipping because it was so loud. This video is from over 2 years ago which was before I knew how to edit the sound out lol.

Got it. Thank you for replying :)

I've never tried so I can't say for sure.

I can't give you an exact whipping time. I suggest checking it every 30 seconds until it's at the consistency you like. Time varies based on several factors such as the tools you are using, temp of the mixture, temp in the room etc.

@@BeforeBedShop thanks a lot💓💓

@@dinaani6500 anytime 😊

Yes. I've done a high top soap with this recipe. It stands beautifully and remember you can whip longer if you want it a little stiffer. I happen to prefer the fluffy soft cloud look and when it dries its nice and hard without losing that soft look that I enjoy for my soap.

@@BeforeBedShop Looks so pretty. i think most the time is not soft, but icing gets too hard too fast. that is more of an issue than too soft. :)

Yes, it does

@@BeforeBedShop thank you so much!! :)

@@gamerbomb3968 You're welcome. Feel free to reach out if you need help with anything.

@@BeforeBedShop I will! Eventually I'm going to try out some cold processed soap! I'm so excited but in the meantime I'll be doing the melt and pour :)

@@gamerbomb3968 melt and pour is a great but once you cross over to cold process you are going to love it. The possibilities are endless.

Hi. Thanks for subscribing. Isopropyl is used to help ensure the embeds stay put and it disinfects anything that's touched. I make the embeds using melt and pour soap and silicone molds.

@@BeforeBedShop Dankeschön ❤️

Thanks Gwen. I was trying to not waste the red and yellow I used for my HP bombs lol. It worked out I guess.

Yes. It dries hard so you can wrap it or heat seal it pretty quickly.

Thank you so much♡

Yes, you can use any soap base you'd like just know that mixing time will vary.
