A piece of cake

A piece of cake

To prepare it, we need:
  • Cookie "Slice of cake." In our case, this is a professional form with 4 supports, so we do not need to look for additional restraints. White (70 g) and transparent (20 g) soap bases. The exact amount of the base depends on the mold.
  • Fragrance.
  • Dyes (green, red)
  • Stick for stirring.
  • Toothpick.
  • Alcohol or a special liquid to remove bubbles.
  • Pasteur pipette.
  • A glass of boiling water.

So, let's get to work.
Let's start by filling in the small parts. In our case, these are berries, leaflets and cream on the surface of the cake.
Step 1. Melt the transparent base, add the red pigment to it.
Pipette the red base and fill all the niches under the berries. Everything superfluous is easily corrected first with a toothpick, then with a paper towel.
Please note that the base in the dropper quickly hardens and it becomes impossible to use it. In order to clean the pipette, we need boiling water. Dip the pipette into the glass, then clean it by pressing the tip several times.

Step 3. We fill the cream on our cake. Melt the white base and use a pipette to carefully pour it into the recess. We remove the excess with a toothpick and a napkin. We wait 5-10 minutes for the base to freeze.

Step 4. We begin to fill the top layer of our soap. To do this, melt about 30 g of the white base. Add dye, in our case green, and fragrance.
The base is still too hot to fill it in shape. Therefore, while it cools, it is necessary to prepare small parts for better bonding with the next layer. To do this, we scratch the surface of our berries and leaflets of the line, then sprinkle them with plenty of alcohol.
Pour the painted and slightly cooled base. We remove the bubbles with alcohol. We are waiting for about 30 minutes.

Scratch the frozen layer, spray with alcohol.
We melt about 30 g of a white base, color, add flavoring. Let cool slightly and pour into the mold. We remove air bubbles with alcohol.

Step 6. For better bonding of the layers, leave our soap to cool at room temperature. As soon as the top layer finally hardens, take out the soap from the mold.
The mold is made of plastic, in addition, it has many small parts and recesses. Therefore, it may be difficult to remove the finished soap. To facilitate the work, place the mold for a couple of minutes in the freezer.

So, our soap is ready! All uneven edges should be immediately corrected with a paper towel. Otherwise, soon the soap will finally harden and nothing can be changed in it.We send the soap cake to dry for a day at room temperature, and then wrap it with a plastic wrap.
Beautiful, fragrant, unique soap we did! It will certainly appeal to anyone who gets it in present.
Good luck and success!
