I’ve been playing with the idea of experimenting at cookie sandwich soaps. I’d make two guest rounds as cookies (flat shape like an Oreo instead of regular chocolate chip) and adding a bath whip as the filling. I would probably then package in little gift bags. I thought of making different cream colors and even doing a few macaroon-like coloring, so a few pink, etc. I have a Ho Ho FO which I thought might be good for this, tying in the cookie and cream concept.

I also have been debating on snowmen being my key promotion at the craft event. I thought of doing red and white peppermint swirl snowmen and other wild little combos like that.

Sadly my glitter soaps aren’t as sparkly as I hoped. There is a hint of shimmer as I move them under the light. It was definitely a worthwhile experiment and I realize that part of it is because it was a solid soap base instead of clear. For the outer layer I planned on a clear pour, so I’ll just add some of the iridescent glitter to those too. It was the first time using this flower mold and I was impressed. They have a little detail and are much better than the candy molds I used to use – thicker and massively easier to un-mold. The *cough* lavender of the glitter embeds lightened even more as they set it seems.
