Once upon a time long, long ago (or maybe a year or two ago) I came across soap making. I'm not sure how I got hooked now, but I can tell you how Mr. Soap Wish got hooked. Mr. Soap Wish, or Mr. as he was known then, is an artist by nature and he can make something from nothing. Very talented. I myself can also make something (a mess) from nothing. But I digress. The Mr. was attempting to be interested in my new interest of soap making until I showed him these.....
Once the Mr. saw what Soapylove could do with soap, he became Mr. Soap Wish right before my eyes. The beautifully clear colors, the contemporary designs, and the variety of techniques Debbie (aka Soapylove) is known for had us both hooked. Take a look at some of my old posts and you'll see Mr. Soap Wish's work. You'll see mine too, but that's another story.
The good news is Soaplove wrote a book and you can learn some of her techniques by reading her book and practicing her methods. But, here's the really, really good news...
I'm giving away a signed copy of Debbie's book!
But wait, there's more...once you have the book you'll want to get started creating soap...trust me, I know...so I'm including Soapylove supplies from Bramble Berry too! You'll be able to start creating the second you open the book! I'm including..
So let's recap, you'll get a signed copy of Debbie's book Soapylove, one pound each of Brambleberry Soapylove Bright White Melt and Pour Soap Base and Bramble Berry Soapylove Naturally Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base , one set of Bramble Berry Soapylove Candy-Jar-Fragrance-Set, and one set of Bramble Berry Soapylove Jewelry-Box-Soap-Colorants
Rules.....
-Leave a comment telling me whether or not you make soap now (leave a link if you have a site showcasing your soaps)
-One entry per person please
-Giveaway ends at 12:00PM Eastern Time Saturday, February 6. I will use random.org to randomly select one winner and the results will be posted by 12:30PM Saturday. Check back then to see if you're the lucky one!
Enjoy!

I've been reading Bakerella's blog ever since Soapylove posted about her cake pops, and I decided to try my hand at making her cupcakes as soap. I'm not ready to try the cake pops in soap, but the cupcakes looked like a possibility.
I made two versions and I'd love your feedback! The first is meant to look like fondant with a smooth top (notice I said meant to look like) and the other is meant (that word again) to look like frosting. Notice the lumpy texture of the "frosting"? I also used more purple soap so the chocolate and purple is about even. Let me know what you think....they're still in the work-in-progress stage.
Version 2 (notice the amazing photography ~ so crisp and clear)

I have a confession, for the past week I've neglected this blog because of Soapylove, it's all her fault. Read her post and you'll know what I've been obsessed with for the past week. I can't help myself, I have to make these...they are absolutely the cutest.
I've come to my senses somewhat and I've started making soap again, but I do have one more cake mix...hmmm....
