If you still need some holiday soaping inspiration, feast your eyes on the most popular Soap Queen soaps for Christmas (below). So many of you were inspired by my Cool Yule Peppermint Loaf project and posting pictures on our Facebook page (love! love!). Needless to say, nothing pleases me more than seeing your variation on these projects. Post them on the BB Facebook page and flaunt your holiday flare!

Bird on Branch Mini Cakes (yes, REAL cake)!
Ok, so it’s not a soap project but it’s a super creative cake recipe by Erin Pikor using the Bird on Branch mold. How cute would these be at your holiday party this year? Talk about impressing your guests. And the best part is that this recipe is Vegan and Gluten Free. I love making something special for my V & GF friends since they can feel so left out at this time of year.
I have a table at a Chanukah fair this weekend, and never could find good Jewish-themed molds. I see the Star of David and Menorah mold everywhere, and I saw one “out of stock” dreidel mold. It would be really nice if someone made some creative Jewish molds: more dreidels, maybe potato latke shaped soap! Judah Maccabee was “Judah the Hammer.” That has possibilities. Or a hamsa design. Hamsas can be so beautiful!
These are all great ideas. We’ll keep our eyes peeled. Have you ever thought about designing your own soap mold? You can do it at http://www.soapmolds.com. Just send them an email and you guys can workout your design =)

I have totally thought of designing my own! As soon as I’m ready to make the investment, I’m all over it!
How did you get the blue so…blue on the stamped soap? (I guess you can tell I am very “green”…)
The bright blue is made with clear soap (and Liquid Blue Colorant). You’ll generally get brighter colors with clear soap and more pastel colors with white soap.

Thank you Courtney.
I’m doing the Peppermint Loaf and the Pepperminty Bark for the soaps in the holiday baskets I am making my friends this year 🙂 I’m going to add in a holiday tree cupcake bath bomb and than some of my homemade lotion and lip balms 🙂 Thanks for all the amazing ideas and inspiration, Anne-Marie!

That sounds like the coolest gift basket ever! Have fun with your Pepperminty Bark Soaps =)
