Yesterday we wrapped up another successful filming session of Soap Queen TV. The BB crew and I had a blast on set (as always) and I couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming episodes! We filmed a spray perfume, an all natural solid perfume with a custom essential oil blend, Lavender bath truffles, Vanilla and Chocolate bath truffles with another yummy custom blend and, finally, a goat milk cold process soap using fresh goat milk. It was a jam packed Sunday which we enthusiastically called Sunday Funday (or Sunday Soapday)?
Above is the set up for the goat milk cold process soap project using the 9 bar Cube Mold and the In The Pot Swirl technique. ITP looks amazing in the cube mold. The design is hypnotizing (Can’t. Stop. Staring. At. Soap). And I can’t wait to show you how “non-scary” goat milk soap really is (if you can’t wait for the episode to air you can read up on the technique in this Goat Milk Book).
Ahhh! We’ve created a monster! Above is the foamy aftermath after we dropped a Bath Truffle in warm water. It flowed over with fluffy vanilla and chocolate scented bubbles. Wondering what a bath truffle is? It’s a glorious combination of a bath bomb, a bath melt and a bath oil. Hello DIY spa day!
Can you guess what this liquid is? Hint: I was making Goat Milk Cold Process.
I can’t wait to see the bath truffle video. They sound lush and divine!
Can’t wait to watch these When are they going to be avalible?
Hi Chase!
We plan to release several SQTV episodes this year and have actually just released a super cute Neon Ambrosia Soap Tutorial:

The first picture is so colorful and bright! I love all the soaps. Can’t wait to watch the video and also to find out more about the truffles. I want fluffy bubbles like that in my bath 🙂
I’m a fan of fluffy bubbles as well. =)

All your new videos sounds great and I’m looking forward to seeing them. Love the Chevron movie take 1 board and the cube soaps are adorable.
Question: Can you guess what this liquid is?
Answer: The yellow liquid is scorched goat milk! Anne-Marie didn’t freeze her goat milk ahead of time so we could show what the color looked like on camera. That yellow color (and ammonia smell) can be a little limiting with your CP soap design.
Tip: To combat the scorched milk, use the “Freeze Method”. This method takes some patience but it’s super easy for beginners. Freezing the milk ahead of time will help prevent the proteins in the milk from scorching when exposed to heat. This is going to help lower the temperature of the entire process while also decreasing the orange color and odor.

I agree with Lindsay, it looks like the goats milk and lye. It turns a funny color and smells funky. I thought I’d messed up big time the first time I mixed them 🙂
There’s a way to keep it ivory/neutral color – freeze the milk ahead of time for a much more neutral color. =)
Love, love the swirls
I wish you were
closer to take a few classes working with lye.. I really want to try this.
You can do it, Cindy, and we are here to help you out!

Agreeing with Lindsay…
Looks like the goats milk and lye solution to me! (At least that’s what mine usually looks like!) 🙂 Glad to know I’m doing it right! Lol.
I’m going to show you a new way in the video that keeps your GM white – and the resulting soap a neutral ivory color =)
oooooh when?! I LOVE GM soap!
It’s coming up soon, keep your eyes peeled! 🙂

Do y ou freeze the goats milk to keep temperatures down and stop the soap from discolouring??
Hi Kat!
Freezing (or having a nice icy goat’s milk slushy) your goat’s milk beforehand is a great way to keep the temperatures down and to keep your soap from scorching and discoloring! I hope this helps! =)
-Becky with Bramble Berry
full of energy and inspiring as always. Your wonderful Anne-Marie. Can’t wait to watch the episodes
It’s a goat milk and lye solution!
I love bubble baths and I am looking forward to finding out more about Bath Truffles.
I would also love to see the bath truffles, they sound sooo ggooood 😀 yummo
