  • This is a basic "how to" video for melt and pour whipped soap frosting. I have listed the items you need below.
    4 oz of White Melt & Pour Base
    2 Tablespoons of Clear Liquid Glycerin
    Microwave safe bowl
    Stick Blender with Whisk Attachment
    Piping Set
    91% Isopropel
    Please remember that Melt & Pour Whipped Soap hardens really fast so be ready to pipe as soon as you soap is ready. If you have issues with it hardening don't worry - Just melt and whip it again.

  • @natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769

    I would like to share a tip. For the frosting use 200g Foamy Bath Batter with 1/3 Cup Stephenson Range Opaque that is SLS Free, SLES Free, Lye Free, Detergent Free, Paraben Free & you can use a standard handheld mixer and whip until In-between of Soft to Hard Peaks then you can either put in a piping bag with a Tip, a Zip lock lunch bag and snip a corner or you can take small teaspoons of the mixture and dollop it onto your Soap Project but NOTE it can’t be used for food ever again due to Cross Contamination and you wouldn’t like your food to taste like soap
    NOTE: You Won’t Need Much Foamy Bath Butter (not sure what America’s call it - I’m in Australia) as it will double in size once you start to whip just like normal Icing does

    Hi!! I followed your recipe (with clear MP and glycerin), i miced it for about 4 minutes, it started to double in size, but then deflated and started to harden. It's quite hot right now where I live, maybe I should whip it for only 1 or 2 minutes?

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 4 lety +1

      Clear melt and pour can be a bit more tricky compared to the white mp base. If you're using mica to color it mix the mica in the glycerin first (next time). With your current batch remelt it and mix it in 2 minute increments until its the fluffy consistency you want.

  • @doreensweeney2004
    @doreensweeney2004 Před 6 lety

    I don't know what I am doing wrong but it is not whipping up. It continues to harden and gets pasty. I would like to know if left at room temperature is it semi hard when you start whipping it?. I also found that you need to use a small bowl for this amount because it just sticks to the sides and you lose a lot of the material. I am trying to make cupcake bath bombs and soaps and I am running out of time trying out all of these recipes with no luck making them. Please help

      Toni Raibick Hi, honestly, I've never tried it with a castile liquid soap so I'm not sure if it will give you the same outcome. I'd suggest doing a small test batch. These do get hard enough for packaging. I let them sit for 48 hours before I shrink wrap them.

    Is the clear dish soap too unstable to use for gifts/ selling? What's the reason the dish soap isn't ideal?

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 4 lety +1

      @justkibby The reason I use glycerin is because I list all ingredients used on my items and I dont think I want to list dish soap as an ingredient lol. I also prefer it over other liquid soap options. I know many people who use clear dish type soap and love it. It's just not my preference for soaps I sell. I've used it for demonstrations and comparisons though and it works fine. Its stable enough for whipped melt & pour frosting but requires a little more whipping time then the liquid glycerin I use.

  • @TranquilSequoia
    @TranquilSequoia Před 6 lety +1

    since your adding glycerin, does the soap need to cure for more than a few days!? How much would you need in melted amount to do a small 3lb loaf mold, if you by chance know!?
    Also where did you get your hand whisk?
    Thanks so much!!

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 6 lety +1

      S - this particular recipe will do a 3lb loaf mold if you do 3 light layers of piping. So 3 rows across then 2 on top then 1 in the center of each bar. (Does that make sense) if you want a more fluffy top I'd suggest using the recipe in my most recent video. Cure time for the frosting is going to vary based on how thick it is when piped. The thicker the better (it will set fast and you need to pipe really fast). So I suggest 24 -48 hours and make sure you leave the loaf in its mold until you're ready to cut the bars.

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 6 lety +1

      Ruxandra Ioana I'd have never tried it before so I can't say for certain. I've only tried liquid glycerin and clear hand soap. Both work perfectly. If you are trying 2 tbsp on vegetable glycerin make sure you whip for a good 4 to 5 minutes. That should keep it from getting hard and making sure enough air gets in the mixture. Let me know how it turns out.

Please if you could let me know that would be great :) Also, you have the alcohol in the recipe but not mentioned in the video (unless I missed it)... Do you just use alcohol to adhere the soap and "frosting" together??

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 6 lety

      nichole gaffney - Hi Nichole. When I do a MP soap loaf with this frosting I typically let it sit overnight then cut it. Once it's cut I let the sliced bars sit another 24 hrs before heat sealing them. That gives the whipped topping time to really set/harden a bit so the heat gun doesn't melt it or change its shape.

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 6 lety

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 6 lety +1

      mama bear Johnson Cold process gives you tons of time to work with. The problem with melt and pour is it hardens extremely fast. I can't use a hand mixer when I make it. The hand mixer gets hot and causes the frosting to harden even faster. That's why I use my stick blender on low with a wisk attachment. Cold process has way more ingredients and takes longer but totally worth it. The end result is amazing.

    I have become very interested in soap making lately for myself, gifts, even selling if possible but I live in eastern Canada and there are not many places here to learn minus videos and blog posts. But I want to take it serious. I know melt and pour very well. If you see this can you give any advice on personal pros and cons between the two. And finally I loved baking since I was a child (31 now) and def want to add pipping to my soaps. Is the glycerin you added 100% needed for the texture or could you pipe regular melt and pour assuming you are fasr

    • @lithara5302
      @lithara5302 Před 5 lety

      I meant pros and cons between melt and pour vs cold process. And if you have any suggestions as to where to find good quality and good priced colorants or fragerences that would be great.

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 5 lety +1

      I'll start with melt & pour. PROS - It's super easy to do. You basically melt it, add colors & fragrance, pour it in the molds and let it set for about an hour. It's ready to go same day. Fragrance holds nicely (a little goes a long way) and you can get some vibrant colors. CONS - You can't get really amazing swirls of several colors like CP soap. Making frosting is a bit of a task and runs the risk of melting while packaging with a heat sealer. Colors can bleed into each other and depending how its stored you can get soap sweating which will require a remelt of your project. (I'll post my cp pros and cons in another comment)

    • @BeforeBedShop
      @BeforeBedShop  Před 5 lety +1

      Cold Process PROS - the possibilities of swirling options are endless. You can get some amazing and unique bars in every batch. Decorating with cp frosting is very easy and sets up perfectly. You can choose your ingredients (oils your comfortable with and enjoy) which means you can make a specific lather per loaf. CONS - its time consuming from start to finish. Cp soap needs to sit for 4-6 weeks before it's ready to use. You have to measure everything perfectly. Some fragrances cause the soap mixture to harden faster which means you need a fast pour. Getting bright, vibrant, neon type colors is challenging and lastly fragrances don't always hold as nice as they do in mp.
      I personally enjoy cp soap making over mp soap making. I have a recipe I love which took me 2 years to really get perfected and I just enjoy that it's really handmade.

      I'm sure it can be done, but I'm quite sure that you'd have to remelt/rewhip if you were doing more than a few cupcakes. If you try this, I'd love to know how many you made and how it worked!

    Ur a sweetie but hun ur giving urself so much work. If u get foaming bath whip and melt n pour goats milk soap. Use 2 in of foaming bath whip and ur gonna but that as is in the mixing bowl. Now melt down 2 cups of goats milk melt n pour pour the melted soap in ur bowl over the whipped soap and whip and whip and whip for a good 5 minuets. Then when it’s cool whip consistency stop and add in ur fragrance and ur glycerin then beat till it’s thick like fluff or a nice frosting. Then u put it in ur piping bag and pip away. Let them sit and they will harden. I have never rewhipped my soap icing and it hardens so u can safely ship them. Try it hun u might really like this recipe!

      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

    Hello my name is Deb. I am new to your channel as of today. My daughter and I decided that we wanted to start experiment making soap. Everything I had watched on CZcams and studied about was the cold process soap. So when it comes to melt and pour, I thought it was really simple you just add your color and your fragrance , pour it in the mold and let it set up . There are pros and cons to both melt and pour and your cold process cold process is easier for things like this in this video, because melt and pour sets up extremely fast which I did not know. We did it all totally wrong. I think that we did maybe you could answer this question and tell me if we did. We poured it in layers, using multiple oils. We purchased several different oils yesterday shea butter , goat milk, the honey, as well as a large tub of clear that I wanted to use for making embeds that I could color whatever color I wanted to but I wanted that opaque look, kind of like the look of sea glass. They turned out a lot better than I thought. I'm realizing that a little bit goes a long way. And being able to reheat it unlike your cold process makes it so much easier. We do have a 2-cup measuring cup I think it's Pyrex that now has a bunch of cute little curly cues in it all by accident because we over poured our molds. I think the room was too cool and with the ceiling fan on it kep skimming up really quick. We thought that the individual containers of soap like the Shea and the goat milk in the honey that you could mix them to come out with a richer creamier soap. but then as I started reading more and watching more of your videos I realized that those are the base, and you can add your coloring as well as the sense that you choose. Am I anywhere near in thought as they should be? so what we decided to do was along with the little lavender seeds grape seeds rose petals and other things to go in the Soaps. the first layer we poured was clear. We sprayed it with alcohol and then sprinkled the lavender Bud's on top of the clear while it was still very wet. once it developed a scam on it we poured the next layer which was the honey. and then sprinkled more of the lavender beds. The next layer we poured was the goat milk, to finish off the molds that we were working with which were 2 to 3 in wide squared, and were 3 in deep. some of them were shaped like cameos, somewhere Square somewhere over somewhere a couple different types of flowers with good detail. like I said we wanted to start out small to see if we could actually do it. of course I felt like an idiot because all of the research I had done was on cold pressed soap which reacts nothing like melt and pour, is as far as the length of time you have to work with it . I think the first video I watched today buy a different CZcamsr was the best I had ever seen it was gorgeous. And I never would have thought that it came from melt and pour soap it was done in a loaf mold, with the entire loaf being filled with chunks of melting for about 1 inch cubes. the next thing she did was had a bucket of shavings off of other soaps that she had cleaned up and it looked like paper that had been run through a shredder. Oh I forgot it was embeds and then a layer of the shredded and then another layer of embeds and a layer of the shredded I think she did two maybe three or four layers of each. then she poured her clear which filled up all of the negative space around the one-inch cubes once it had set up a tiny bit she placed more of the shreds more of the shreds if soap to continue feeling it up. and then dusted it with a fine biodegradable rainbow colored glitter to the tops, as well as rainbow colored sea salt. It was absolutely breathtaking. now that I'm learning that there's a lot more that goes into melt and pour than just melting and pouring LOL. but let's go back to the ones that we practice making last night with the layering. They worked out with a few air bubbles that I was irritated with but I realized we didn't have any alcohol after I had gotten started, as I was fixing to pour the second layer. because it was only one small Broach size soap mold, that even if it doesn't work it's only soap and you clean it all up with just ostrich egg and the scrubby everything came out so easy to clean. now to my big question which doing layers of each of the different types of melt and pour can they be mixed or would I be compromising the base of it? does each of them act as their own base? I know with the individual pouring of each layer of the oils are what worked out the best not combining the oils but layering them throughout the bar. but can they be mixed like taking your clear and adding some of the honey melt and pour, or the goat milk. Do you use each of those as the base and add your color or your scent to that? Or do you use it in combination with your clear that is melted together? Ugh!!!!! I know it's not rocket science but there is a lot that I need to learn a lot of questions that I don't have answers to. I'm on disability and I can't afford to go out and buy a bunch of different kinds of the Melt and pour if there is an easier way to do it. like adding your own honey to your melt and pour or the shea butter, or your goat milk melt and pour. Or can you add your own goat's milk to your melt and pour like you can with the honey? oh how I would love to pick your brain right now LOL I'm one of those that when I need an answer , I need it yesterday LOL. I will continue watching your videos and hopefully some of my questions will be answered. Thanks for great videos and for your knowledge and experience in teaching a wonderful experience here on the CZcams platform. take care and God bless. Deb

      @kelleyspartiatis5323 Před 5 lety +1

      Hi. You're making it really difficult for yourself. You need only to buy 2 types of base. A white base and a clear base. Don't bother with all the different types like honey or Shea because they're all pretty much the same. You can colour your base with mica or even food colouring. I use fd&c powders which are super concentrated. Food colouring is these powders very dilute. You can add up to 2% additives like Shea or cocoa butter or Olive, hemp, argan oil to your base. You can add things like clay and charcoal or exfoliants too. If you want to make a clear soap use the clear base or use the white for an opaque base. You can layer them using one opaque base and one clear. Or all opaque in different colours or all clear in different colours. It's up to you. Just make sure the top is sprayed with alcohol to get it to stick to each layer. Think about progressing to cold process soap when you get the hang of soaping. The soap is so much nicer. Plus you of need ingredients you can buy in a local store. I can but 1ltr of Olive oil for £3 and 500g sodium hydroxide for £1. The sodium hydroxide will be enough to make a few kilos of soap. So with £4 I can make a castille soap weighing around 1.3k .It's so much easier than people make out on line.
      I hope I helped you x

      Edellea it could be the humidity or temps in your drying area. In the fall and winter my frosting hardens so quick I can package them the same day. In the spring and summer there are times I have to leave them in an air conditioned room for 2 days. If it's not a temp or humidity issue it could be too much liquid was used or you didn't mix long enough to get it to the right consistently. Spritz with 91% rubbing alcohol and leave them for an additional 48 hours. That should help.
