Chocolate Fondant or Soap

Chocolate, fondant or soap? You tell me. If you guessed soap, you are correct. We’re whipping up soap charms in the Creative Jubilee kitchen. While you typically find silicon molds in the baking aisle at Michaels, there are so many creative ways you can use these silicon molds and one of which is making soap charms to embed in soap or to accompany larger soaps. 

A few of these silicon molds caught my eye. Who can turn down popsicles and ice cream cones in the summer? And flamingos, leafy greens and cacti, oh my! 

You approach this as you would with any Melt and Pour project. Pick your favorite base, grab your essential oils and some dye. In this case, I am using what’s left of my Oatmeal and Goat’s Milk soap and blending in some pinks, greens, blues and browns. You want colors that will pop and really show off the fine detail of each piece. 

Pop it in the freezer for a few hours and then you end up with these fun soap charms. For those of you who have kids at home or friends coming to visit, make sure to label them as S-O-A-P, otherwise… they’ll learn quickly that it’s neither chocolate nor fondant.
