Okay, I am a blog slacker lately, I know, but on the bright side, my long-time readers are used to it!
I really wanted to do tons of awesome Valentine’s Day posts and here I am, only a week before the big day, just now kicking it off.
And what better way to kick off a week of Valentine’s Day posts than with Melt and Pour Soap Cupcakes all dressed up for V day?
I left the “frosting” white and, even though the Jewelry Box colorants are not non-bleeding, it has been a week and there has been no bleed whatsoever. If you are worried about bleeding, make the frosting pink.
I colored clear soap with the red colorant and soap-safe glitter, and added fragrance. I poured a thin layer (~1/4 inch) into a silicone pan. (I only wanted a couple of hearts, so I used a muffin pan, but if you want to make a bunch, use a brownie pan.) I poured the rest of the soap into the silicone cupcake liners. When the thin layer of soap was set, I popped it out and used a small metal heart cookie cutter to cut out the hearts.
When the cupcake was set, I made the frosting using white melt and pour soap, with added fragrance. I stirred it with a fork until it was thick and poured/scooped it onto the cupcake, which was sprayed with alcohol to make it stick better. Then, I sprayed the top with more alcohol and sprinkled on more glitter!
While the frosting was still freshly poured, I popped in the heart.
Give one to someone you love. Just don’t let anyone eat it!
