Ingredients
  • 2 Pound(s) Crafter's Choice Ultra White Soap Base 
  • 1 Pound(s) Crafter's Choice Foaming Bath Whip 
  • 3 Ounce(s) Crafter's Choice Liquid Glycerin 
  • 1.5 Ounce(s) Crafter's Choice Birthday Cake Fragrance Oil 

Equipment
  • Decorator Pro 
  • Digital Scale 
  • Gloves 
  • Hand Mixer 
  • Microwave 
  • Microwave Safe Container (Pyrex Cup) 
  • Paper Plate 
  • Plastic Droppers 
  • Soap Cutter/Slicer 
  • Spatula 
  • Spoon 

Directions
  1. Using a soap slicer, cut the clear soap into 1-2 inch pieces. The soap slicer is dull and perfect for this project. Do not use a knife as it is very sharp and the soap is slippery. The knife could slip causing injury.
  2. Using a microwave safe container, melt soap in the microwave. Heat slowly using short intervals. Do not overheat.
  3. Add liquid glycerin to the soap. Note: If you wish to have a creamier frosting, add a bit more glycerin. Additional glycerin will make the soap softer and will require more time to harden.
  4. Add melted soap and glycerin to the bath whip. Do not worry that the entire batch will become liquid, it will re-thicken upon returning to room temperature.
  5. Add fragrance oil.
  6. Mix with hand mixer until thick, creamy and smooth.
  7. Use Stainless Steel Decorator Pro to embellish soap. A spatula makes filling easier!!
  8. Frosting will become hard in 24 hours.
