This simple soap project was created by Johanna in the warehouse. She is a powerhouse of fabulous ideas – just click here to be taken to a retrospective of her soap designs. This project starts with the same basic steps as Soapylove’s birthday cake soap with the layering concept. Check out that tutorial here if you missed it. Pouring layers using our loaf mold.
Melt approximately 16 ounces of melt and pour soap (Johanna used Goatsmilk Melt and Pour) and color with a yellow color. You could use Canary Labcolor or Non-Bleeding Yellow Oxide. Fragrance this layer. If you use a discoloring vanilla based fragrance, be sure to use some Vanilla Color Stablizer. Allow this layer to harden with a thick skin (approximately 5 minutes). Melt an additional 16 ounces of Goat Milk Melt and Pour, fragrance and color it with an orange (such as Liquid Orange or Orange Labcolor). Allow this layer to harden, spray with alcohol and finish off the layers with another pound of non-colored (but fragranced) Goat Milk Melt and Pour.
Unmold your soap and slice into inch thick slabs with a scraper/cutter or a large knife. Then, carefully cut a basic triangle shape with a sharp paring knife.
Finally, bevel the sides using the clean up tool for that authentic Candy Corn look. Johanna used our new Butter Cream And Snickerdoodle Fragrance Oil for a close approximation to the sugary sweet candy scent.
There are many possibilities with basic layers – do you have any ideas using a loaf mold and creative pouring? Share them with us in the comments, we love to hear from you!
How Amazing! Actually,we’re making soaps on school wit hdifferent fragrances,shapes,and designs..It’s so fun making soaps!

Great soap idea. Relatively simple yet looks fabulous and will have people oohing and aahing.
I love this idea! While I found it too late for this year I will definatly remember it for next year!
Beautiful. How about a candy pumpkin?
#1 LOVE the candy corn idea. It wouldn’t be hard to do a cp version using lab colors.
2# I’m so glad you posted the phalate free info. I’ve been wondering that myself and always forget to email. I bet people who don’t read the comments on this post would be interested in that info. Its been a topic of discussion on forums I’ve visited.
Elaine, A brown layer candy corn? It sounds delicious. In fact, this entire post is making me hungry =)
Lisa, I had no idea there was a day honoring candy corn. It's totally worth it. I heart candy corn.

That’s just amazing!!! Thank you so much for the idea!

Did you know that Oct 30th is National Candy Corn Day? I have links about it on my blog.
You know, if your vanilla discolors, it’s still okay because lots of candy corns have brown layers on the bottom. 🙂
That looks great…and so easy to make (comparatively speaking)!
Speaking of fragrances, do you know if the fragrance oils you carry contain phthalates (like many perfumes do)? A potential customer wants to know. Thanks!
