Beautiful. Loved it
Thank you! 😊
Your soaps are so beautiful..
I love these so much and now I am craving orange cake. 😁
Nice cupcakes and nice packaging
Thanks 🥰
Bravo bravo quedaron muy bonitos
Thank you for the press and seal tip! My daughter wants to make cupcake soaps for her cousins for Christmas and that is a great piping tip. The farmers market packaging is a great idea too! They look so real. Satsuma Orange is one of my favorite scents too.
Thanks!🥰
Fantastic, they look delicious, have a great week
Thank you ☺️. I was super bummed, the color faded to an ivory 😞
Very pretty! Reminds me of Orange Creamsicles. Will have to try Satsuma. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Thanks 🥰 it's a great scent and so easy to work with.
Beautiful
🥰
While watching you pour the bases, I had a momentary panic: you way over filled them when they bake, they will fall out of the liners!
Then I remembered it was soap! That is what I get for baking before watching this video! Lol!
🤣 This gave me a laugh. I have to remember when I'm actually baking, that I'm not making soap!😅
Satsuma is one of my fave scents too!
Yes! It's so juicy good!
It was another Soaper out there who showed us this way as well, a few years ago, It's nice.
U definitely got the hang of the press n seal. My first time using it was frightful lol 😂
🤣 I've made my fair share of messes!
Ellen, I got your soap a few days ago. They look lovely and perform fabulously! The silk really adds to the feel and slip. My soaps are vegan so I can't use it, but I know now why people do. You have set a standard. 😊
Thank you so much! I'm using Mulberry Top Silk in a few bars now, which is a vegan option for silk.. I'm really liking how it feels, and it's easy to work with too😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Doesn't Mulberry Silk come from the Bombyx moth?
@@annmariegugliemino5009 You're absolutely right! I thought it was like corn silk from the plant 🤪... Wow, thank you for bringing this to my attention.
@@EllenRuthSoap Lol. I too have 4 kids and homeschooled them. My youngest will be 33 this year, so I think I'm a bit older than you 😉 but I admire you so much. I am completely revamping my business and yours is one of those who's look I admire. The moth confusion did not sway me. 😎
Dang..and I spelled 'whose" wrong...😐
Congratulations 🙂🙂🤩
🥰
These look awesome. Want to try frosting but I'm a little scared. Lol. I just thought of a way not to have excess frosting. I will try it and let you know how it goes.
Thanks! Yes, let me know how your frosting goes!
Hi Ellen Ruth, thank you for shareing your frosting recipe. They are beautiful. Does the frosting need to be a different recipe from the base?
Thank you ☺️ No, it doesn't have to be different. Sometimes I'll save off some of the batter and let it thicken up and use that 😉
Love your video! Is the frosting soft to touch or is it firm? Also is it possible to make soft frosting?
Thanks! It's very firm after 24 hours.
These are beautiful Ellen. So many wonderful ideas, including real sugar on top! Thank you for sharing. About how much did they end up weighing?
Thanks, they ended up about 5oz
This looks like a great idea as opposed to whipping with a stand mixer(i don't have one) It does look a little on the thin side though for using a star tip. What would you recommend to thicken this recipe a little more, I'm thinking the shea butter could be the reason for the thinner batter. Maybe use cocoa butter instead? Thank you!!
If you just wait a bit, the batter will thicken
Beaautiful!! The fragance is sintetic or essential oils?
Thanks. This has pthalate free fragrance 😉
Beautiful! How do you mix your TD?
Thanks. It's water soluble, 1 part TD to 2 parts water
I see you videos on IG. Love your creativity. For the soap frosting you listed in the description box, does it make for 12 cupcakes?
Yes 😊
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you for replying. Another question does the soap base have to be the same recipe as the soap frosting? Or could they have different oils? If it can be different how would you label it?
The scent you put in the frosting, can it be used in candles. I am trying to make candles with orange fragrance for the kitchen. Thank you for your help.
Yes, I think it's candle safe😉 and it smells amazing!
Hi Ellen. Is the soap calculator accurate. I put the amounts you said for water you said 9 oz. the soap cal. Said 12.16 of water. Which one is correct. Thanks so much I love your videos.
I do a heavy water discount, you can totally go with the higher water amount, it will be slower moving.
Hi with the added silk what is it? I’ve google and found peptide but wasn’t sure if that’s correct . Thank you for ur video
I'm not understanding what the question is? I use Tussah silk.
Great video once again. My question is Do you leave the base of the cupcake to harden or do you go go straight to the frosting? thank you
Thanks! I've done both, but prefer to let the bottom just set up and do the frosting so they harden together.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you
How much silk and sodium lactate do you add to the lye? Is it 4.7oz of lye and then the addition of silk and sodium lactate added to that? Thank you!
Just a very small pinch of silk fibers, and sodium lactate at a rate of 1 tsp per lb of oils
Is there a substitute for rice bran oil in the soap frosting?
If you change any of the oils, you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc. But you can replace it with any good liquid oil.
I've never done or used anything like this. Does the frosting seperate from the cup when you use it?
If you frost them as soon as they get a bit firm, it sticks perfectly.
HOW much of the silk and sodium lactate did you add to the lye? missed that Ellen. :) ALSO u didnt put a link for the recyclable cups
I use sodium lactate at a rate of 1 tsp per lb of oils, and the silk is so light it's hard to measure, it's about a small cotton ball size. The silicone muffin cups are listed bellow.
Hi! Just wondering about the sodium lactate. Since the tops are not coming out of a mold, do you really need the sodium lactate? Have you noticed a benefit for cupcake tops?
That's a good question. I don't think it would be super necessary, since you aren't technically unmolding it...
@@EllenRuthSoap That's what I was thinking. My fear of using the sodium lactate with the tops is that it would set up quicker. I'm not sure if that's true but I've had so many issues with my soap setting up too quick before I get it piped. It seems to go from perfect to hard rather quickly. I may be over mixing initially. 😬
Hi Ellen, I have been wondering, do you just wash the lye active soap down the drain or do you wait until the next day to wash all your dishes? We live on a septic, not sure if you do too, but I’ve been wasting so many paper towels wiping down everything to spare my septic and I’m wondering if there is a better way. Thanks in advance!
I do try to scrape my pitchers out really well, and then I do my dishes... I know several soapers that do the paper towel wipe, and it does take a lot of towels, and those that leave the pitchers until they turn to soap... I'm on septic and haven't had any issues yet (and it's been a good while)...
@@EllenRuthSoap oh good, that helps reduce my worry. Thanks for the response. Have a lovely weekend 💜
How much soap will this frosting cover? Also can you change out ingredients for the frosting ? Can u give advice how to formulate your own frostings ?
It really depends on what you're frosting, when I'm doing cupcakes I like to have as much frosting as batter... I recommend getting familiar with a good soap calculator for formulations.
Can you substitute the rice bran oil with something else?
Yes, olive oil is a good sub
6:59 looks like a hot dog lol
🤣 it totally does!
@@EllenRuthSoap would you say the frosting firmed up nicely for packaging?
Can you wait until the next day to pipe frosting onto the previously made cupcakes?
I think it would be fine to wait, but I would score or spritz the tops so the frosting will stick...
Thank you!!!
can you make frosting wiyhoiut silk or powdered milk
Yes, you can make it without any extra additives 👍
awesome
@@EllenRuthSoap
Who do you purchase your essential oils from? I realize that you used frag oil in this video but I know you use Essential oils too! 🙂
I get them from several different suppliers..😉
How much buttermilk powder was used? Thanks
About a Tablespoon
Awesome thank you 😊
ELLEN Good afternoon. I often watch your videos about soap very much. Ellen I am from Russia., Therefore, we do not have such ingredients here, but I do from what we have. I wanted to ask about a recipe for caps, can you write to me. You just do a little different in a cold way, and I wonder how much they need to stand after you pull them out of the molds. Thank you very much in advance.
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure what you're asking, but I cure my soaps for 4-6 weeks after I unmold them.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you 😊
@7:02 it looks like a hotdog in a bun
🤣 That's hilarious!!! and true😂
The fact that this is a tutorial and youve just thrown everything in without measuring scares me...
I do measure everything, sorry if that didn't come thru the info to you...
@@EllenRuthSoap how does the frosting get thick is it a certain base?
@@EllenRuthSoap how does the frosting get thick is it a certain kind of soap base or oil?
@@Doodle._.KitKat The soap batter will thicken as it's getting hard, you pipe when it's the thickness of frosting, before it gets too hard.
