Hi, I just love the way this method turns out! Is it possible to be able to do with with Melt and Pour?
Hi Jean!
Unfortunately Melt and Pour just doesn’t have the viscosity to create a look like this. It may work if the base were a bit cooler, but that wouldn’t give you much time to work with it. But, it would be a fun project to experiment with if you wanted to try it out! =)

Thanks so much Becky! Think I might stick to CP for a bit – will still be fun trying it. I just love the look!
You’ll love how it turns out in CP, funnel pours are some of my favorite soaps! =)

hello i am new to soap making and i would love to try making this but in a smaller mold. i was hoping you could give me the the measurments for a 2lb mold. thanks!
i love your soaps!
Hi Diana, welcome to the soaping world, you are going to love it!
To get a 2 lb. batch for this particular recipe, you are going to want to use 4.85 oz of Coconut Oil, 10.81 oz of Olive Oil, 4.85 oz of Palm Oil, 1.49 oz or Palm Kernel Flakes, 3.28 oz of Lye and 7.26 oz. of liquid (in this case, distilled water), which will bring you to a total of 32.54 oz of weight.
A great tool to resize your recipe, would be the lye calculator. It’s super easy and quick to use and can help you figure out how much you need.

When figuring out the fragrance usage rate, you can pop on over to the Fragrance Calculator and input the size of your recipe.

For this particular recipe, you would use about 1.9 oz. of the Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil.
Last, but not least, with the colorants, different usage rates create different hues and colors. I would suggest playing around with a small batch before you do this recipe to make sure you have the color that you want. But we suggest using 1/2 teaspoon per pound and going up from there, remember, you can always put color in, but you can’t take it out! 🙂
I hope this helps, let us know how it turns out!

Wonderful technique! It’s on my list. 🙂
You look terrific, btw. No baby fat for you!
Thanks so much for this wonderful idea and detailed instructions. I just finished cutting a batch using this method and it looks FABULOUS!!!! You are the best!!
Thanks for the props! I’m so glad to hear you had a successful batch =)
Do you have a page that shows what fragrances and essential oils of yours would work safely in the recipe? I have so many of your fragrances/ essential oils and am not sure which would work best.
Would any of these be safe to use:
Realistic Cranberry Fragrance Oil
Spiced Mahogany Fragrance Oil
Fir Needle Essential Oil (Siberian)
Spearmint E/O
Vanilla Select Fragrance Oil
Eager to try this amazing recipe! I just love your blog!
Hi Heather,
Basically, you’re looking for a fragrance or essential oil blend that give you a while to work with them.
Realistic Cranberry would NOT be a good choice. It’s fine to use in normal recipes but it won’t give you a long enough time to work with it.
Spiced Mahogany, Fir Needle, Spearmint and Vanilla Select FO would all be fine to use with this recipe but keep in mind that Vanilla and Spiced Mahogany discolor brown so if you use that one, do it in the darker brown portion of your soap design.
My goodness, that is so lovely. I am going to try it very soon! Thank you Anne-Marie!
I’m in love with this project! The colors are so fun and the Cranberry Fig is so festive and yummy! I hope you get a chance to make the soap =)

There’s a typo in the ingredients list during the video. You’re missing the “L” in Olive if you want to fix it.
This is something I would love to try. I must add it to my list! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing A-M. The knife you used to cut the bars is unusual; where can i get some?
I really like the way this soap looks. The colors really do stand out. I am praying the money from my holiday sales will afford me the chance to begin Cold Process Soap Making!
I have begun watching the beginner videos over and over again.
Thank you for having a passion to create as well as a passion to teach what you know. The information is very affordable. =)
OMG – LOVE those colours! Great job.
Great video. Love the tip on cutting it in a different direction.
Thanks Misty! It was a fun discovery. =)
Thanks Anne-Marie! You always inspire me.
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the support =)
That is awesome! I love the sideways cut.
I love the side cut too! It really makes the layers pop!
Courtney from Bramble Berry
you look so good A-M 🙂
Aw, thanks! I’ve almost gotten all of that baby weight off =)
