Back to the old drawing board

Well back to the old drawing board as they say.  Unfortunately our Gardenia Soap which smells Heavenly and looks so beautiful didn't make it through the process.  As you can see it cracked and broke apart when I began to slice it.  It did seem to overheat when I was making.  Anyway, we will get to the bottom of this and achieve the results we want - we always do.

We can't wait to see how our new Gardenia Soap turns out

A Celebration of the New Spring
I was in Heaven making this beautiful Gardenia soap today - the fragrance wafting around the studio and out the window even caught the nose of my neighbour who adored it.  This took about 2 or more hours to make.  What you can't see yet is the layers of Gardenia greens & yellows underneath.  The timing was critical for this soap to work otherwise we would never have got those marvelous gardenia flowers on top.  Robin did an awesome job with the piping bag on those leaves too - a bit of a change from doing cupcake soaps for him.      AAAAAAAAAAAGhhhhh we're so excited - I can barely wait 24 hours to get it out of the mould. - Andrew & Robin.

Pink Orchids - NEW SOAP


Pink Orchids
Pure natural Cocoa Butter Cream Soap
Well here it is finally - Pink Orchids.  We've been dreaming of creating this soap for quite awhile now, but we didn't want to rush into it until were totally happy with the design.  This is an exquisite fragrance we call Pink orchids and so far everyone we've presented it to just looooooves it.  It is an ethereal nectar combined with ylang ylang, rose and oriental woods, but it doesn't smell like any of those on their own.  Like a fine perfume you smell the whole blend as a new scent - and it is Heavenly.  The colours were inspired by pink orchids, and as you probably know most orchids do not have a fragrance, but this is a dream, a fantasy and don't we all need a bit of that in this crazy world.

This soap is brand new so it requires a few weeks drying & curing time before it is available for sale.  If you would like to be the first to purchase please email us and we'll make sure you receive it as soon as it's ready.  Normally $5.00 ea - SPECIAL blog price $4.20.
