I Tried Following A Soap Cupcake Tutorial

it uses something like a simple white glitter, but on brambleberry.com I found a silver holographic glitter. Tyler: Damn, that's the good thing. Saf: And I thought we HAD to get it. Tyler: Of course. Now it's up your sleeve. Saf: Oh, now I'm covered in holographic glitter. I did not think on that. Anne-Marie: And I'll finally finish off those cute pink ornaments from earlier. Saf: Okay, now we have our embeds. We took these guys out a couple hours ago. Is coming down. I'm screaming wood! In case we needed to redo this entire step. But fortunately, many of them turned out quite well, like most stars.

Tyler: Saf: Oh my god, it's cute. Some of the moons. Oh wait, it's actually... I'd even say this is really cute. And even a couple of bats. Tyler: Ohhh! Saf: Oh my god, it's so cute AND fun! It turned out pretty good or at least average. Oh, the back is a mess. But the front is fine! and the ones I completely destroyed with my poor pouring job were at least salvageable with an exact knife. That's what I call surgery. Tyler: They're going under the knife. Saf: What is this, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Tyler: Yes!

Saf: I'm not going to apologize for that. I'm going to leave it...let it rest. So we have quite a bit to work with in terms of what we can put in our

cupcake

s. So what I'm going to do is treat my frosting like clouds in the sky, with my stars and moons peeking out from behind the clouds, and the bat like flying ahead Tyler: That's doing it... doing it... doing it . Saf: Yes, I like that. Obviously, I have no idea what I'm doing here, but I'm just trying to let the muses guide my hand. Also, based on the nature of

soap

cake, once you place an embedded item, you can't move it, so I have to be okay with where they end up.

Tyler: It's like Pringles, but, you know, the fun ends. Good? Saf: Once you pop it, the fun stops. Yes absolutely. Alright, that's all of our toppings placed on our

cupcake

s. I'm honestly pretty pleased with them, this is my first batch of

soap

cupcakes and I feel like the expectations were pretty low. Okay, so I'll keep my cupcakes in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Woo-hoo-hoo. Welcome to Bootytown. What that means, I don't know. Just so the frosting can really set. I hope everything goes well in there. Alright. I guess we should clean up now. Tyler: Probably.

Saf: Okay, then it's the next day. The cupcakes have been sitting in the refrigerator for a couple of hours and then out of the refrigerator for many more hours. And it looks like it's time to get them out of the mold so they can cure in air. Tyler: Blow up those bottles! Saf: Yes, it's time to burst these bottles. It's time to applaud these cakes. That? It's time not to care. Tyler: Is that a butt thing? Saf: Like I said, it's... yeah? I think so? Yes. Alright, I'll go for this one. Tyler: Alright, let's do it.

Anne-Marie: So the way it works; If you gently pull to the side, you are really working to release this airlock. Saf: Basically, I have to push it up and then grab it from the base. Oh my god, I think I just nailed it. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's out. Did I put the nail in too badly? A bit. I can just smooth it out, right? It's soap. Alright. Tyler: It's soap! Saf: Very good! That looks great! The frosting is very asymmetrical, it's interpretive. Modern, fluid, it is like a Gaudí house. But it also looks like a cake to me.

Tyler: I mean, Saf, it looks pretty good. Saf: So let's get the rest of these out here and see how we did across the board. Uh-oh, not bad. Nothing bad. Nothing bad. That's cupcake number three, "out and out." Tyler: "Out and out." Saf: Now there are a couple of these that are a little less lumpy. A little straighter up and down but overall I'd say they're nice, pretty quirky, still intact but not very uniform. In fact, if I had to describe my cupcakes, they would be homemade with love but not much skill. Tyler: I think you should go the modern art route and say, “Everything is intentional!” Saf: Right, exactly.

Tyler: Is he fucked? She meant it. Saf: I put my nail on the side. I meant that too. That rascal over there? It's all part of the plan. With that in mind, I present to you our finished cupcakes! Now, in order to use these guys as soap bars, we have to wait four to six weeks for them to cure or for all the water to evaporate. I'm so nervous. How can I do this? Tyler: I don't know. Saf: Oh, it feels soapy. But they lasted all those weeks sitting in our kitchen, even though they were nearly destroyed by a rogue Sriracha bottle.

And although we were able to get a good foam, here we go. Oh yeah, okay! Check it out! - I will say that they have a bit of a strange way to wash your hands, because I'm not exactly sure how I should hold them. And I'm also a little embarrassed to use them because I want the cupcakes to turn out perfect, you know? So I feel like these will probably end up being more like decorative bathroom delights than functional ones. But still, I feel very fulfilled for having done them on my own, or at least in Anne-Marie's shadow. because in general it was quite difficult.

Especially for a soapy peasant like me. Luckily now the only challenge left is not eating them! So, I'm going to buy a real cupcake before things get ugly.
