Adult Soap Class

I hosted my adult soap making class this afternoon- right before the heavens let loose and drowned us out! Thankfully, the deluge waited until after the class was over because all our kids were playing outside :) I'm sure getting wet wouldn't have bothered them...


Anyway, the class was a lot of fun. The ladies and I made 2 1/2 lbs of lavender/lemon soap, which turned out to be a really pretty chartreuse color! I think it's because I used an extra virgin olive oil that was dark-colored. Here are some pictures of the finished product:





Here's the soap, freshly popped out of the mold! I used a 13"x 9" commercial-grade baking dish for a mold, and the soap came out really crisp and smooth!

The final count was 9 large bath bars, 3 large hand-sized soaps and 7 guest bath-sized soaps.

Here's a close-up of the color- it's a really clean, light green. In just a short few weeks, these babies will be ready to use! And, for all those who didn't get to participate this round, I am planning another class later in the year :) I'll get everyone making homemade soap before long!
