Here is my entry for this month's soap challenge. In my 3 out of 4 recipes I used cocoa powder ( I cannot live without chocolate!), and the 4th recipe is made with half and half.
They are made from cold-process soap, not whipped. I am pretty happy how they turned out. :)
Here are some pictures of the process of making two tone CP soap cupcakes.
The 1st layer of soap spread on saran wrap:
The 2nd layer on the top of it:
I rolled the saran wrap into a log:
Then I inserted it into my piping bag. For the rose pattern, I used Wilton 2D decorating tip:
Coffee and Caramel Mousse. The coffee beans are also made from soap. :)
Chocolate butterfly (made from CP soap):
I found an image online of a butterfly and printed it out to create a template. Then I placed a piece of parchment paper over each image and creased them down the middle:
I could still see the outlines of the butterflies and then I began to pipe my chocolate soap over the outlines:
That's where I rested my soap butterflies so that they'd dry in 3D:
Mandarin slices dipped in chocolate.
My inspiration for this dessert was these simple yet yummy Salted Chocolate Dipped Mandarin Slices, from this blog post. The slices as well as the chocolate are made from M&P soap.
