More Cupcakes - Black Raspberry Vanilla

I've been making more cupcake soaps ... these will be called Couture Cupcake Soaps from now on. This one is Black Raspberry Vanilla, a stunningly fragranced blend of berries and creamy vanilla... it's one of our best sellers and has been a favourite since we started.

These are made with Sweet Almond & Golden Olive oils along with lashings of creamy Cocoa Butter, silk, goatsmilk, kaolin clay and aloe vera! Sheesh, that's a lot right?!

I coloured it with a blend of pink and purple which gave me a great berry colour and then added creamy white with glitter! Check them out.. these are just poured and piped.

As you can see, there's a slight lean on some of the soaps, too much topping? Or is there such a thing?

See the one on the top left hand corner? Definite lean going on there... not that anyone on my Facebook Page seems to mind! 

Hope you like these! They'll be available online from 21 May and I need to ask Titch to take some pics of these and the Raspberry Lime & Tangerine Tango ones I've already made!

Cherry Blossom

I thought I'd show you my new Cherry Blossom soap ... I made this last week and you might have already seen it on one of my recent videos.  It's made with Sweet Almond, Avocado & Golden Olive oils with tons of Cocoa Butter and, of course, wild silk (can't be without it, as you know!).

Cherry Blossom's have huge significance for me ... they were my Mother's favourite trees and, when she passed, we planted one in the garden in her memory.  We used to have a huge one in the garden of our old house and, when I was a kid, I used to play "wedding" in the shower of petals from it!

Anyway, here are the pictures of Cherry Blossom... I really hope you like it.  The soap will be fully cured and available on www.iamhandmade.com from 13 February.
