Total Recipe Weights:
1814 grams of  Shea Butter Soap
98 grams Lick Me All Over Fragrance Oil
20 grams Diamond Clear Soap
114 grams Whipped Soap Base
28 grams Vegetable Glycerin
20 grams Tomato Red Fun Soap Colorant

Step 1:  Place your 9x13" cake pan on a flat surface.  With your ruler, measure out 8.5 inches in length, mark this point in your cake pan by placing your loaf mold there.  Next, tear off a piece of wax paper to cover this area.  Then, lay your wax paper down and tuck it loosely into the corners.  Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Heart:  In your microwave safe glass container, weigh out and melt  500 grams of Shea Butter Soap Base in 30 seconds increments. Stir gently. Keep melting until all soap is in a liquid state.

Step 3:  Add 20 grams FUN Tomato Red Soap colorant  and 14 grams vegetable glycerin to the melted soap.  Then, add 26 grams of fragrance oil; stir well.  Once incorporated, pour all of the soap into the wax paper. Spritz with alcohol and allow this to fully set up.

Step 4:  In a microwave safe bowl, weigh out 20 grams of Diamond Clear soap.  Melt this in 30 second increments until it is in a liquid state.  Then, set aside. 

Step 5: Prepare the White Soap: In one of your microwave safe glass containers, weigh out and melt  1200 grams of Shea Butter Soap Base in the microwave in short bursts. Stir gently in between. Keep melting until all soap is in a liquid state.

Step 6:  Carefully remove the soap from the cake pan, peeling away the wax paper.  Place the soap on to the cutting board with one of the shorter edges facing you.

Step 7:  Next, grab your loaf mold and mark where the bottom edge is on both width sides.  Cut off excess soap and place any remaining  red scrap soap in a separate bowl. 

Step 8: Now, fold your red soap long ways.  Where the edges meet, curl these portions inward, using your fingers.  Once you have a heart shape, gently slide one edge firmly into one of your disposable cups.  This will hold the fold.  Then, repeat for the other side.  Next, pour a small amount of melted diamond clear soap down the center of the fold.  Move the soap so that the melted soap is able to reach under the cup portion too.  Then, set aside.

Step 9:  Back to the White Soap:  Once all of the white soap is in a liquid state, add 60 grams of fragrance Oil.  Mix well.  Set aside.

Step 10:  Now, get your loaf mold.  Take the cups off of the heart and gently place the heart upside down in the loaf mold.  Spritz generously with alcohol. 

Step 11:  Once your heart is in your mold, get the white soap.  Using a spatula, carefully pour the white soap along it.  Do not pour the soap onto the red heart directly.  Make sure to pour some of the soap along the edges to completely fill the inside of the heart.   Spritz with alcohol to reduce any bubbles.

Step 12:  Allow your soap to fully set up at room temperature, or to speed things up place your soap loaf in the refrigerator.  When the soap is completely set up, take it out of the mold.  Set aside.

Step 13:  Now, take the bowl that has the scrap red soap in it.  Place this into the microwave, and remelt it.  Once it is melted, pour it into the love hearts embed mold.  Allow this to fully set up, then pop them out.

Step 14:  Soap Frosting:  Once the soap loaf is almost completely set up, weigh out 114 grams of Whipped Soap Base and 14 grams of vegetable glycerin.  Place  both of these items into your mixing bowl.  Set aside.

Step 15:  In one of your microwaveable bowls, weigh out 114 grams of Shea Butter soap.  Melt the soap in the microwave 30 seconds at a time. Stir gently. Keep melting until all soap is in a liquid state.

Step 16:  Pour your melted soap over the whipped soap base and vegetable glycerin.  Using your hand held mixer, start to whip the ingredients together.  As you mix, you will notice the ingredients will start to appear like whipped frosting.

Step 17:  When you have reached this point, add 12 grams of fragrance oil and 2 drops Tomato Red Fun Soap Colorant.  Clean the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Start whipping the mixture. Make sure the mixture is well blended.  When the mixture begins to look like whipped frosting again, stop beating.

Step 18:  Using your spoon scoop the soap frosting onto the square loaf mold.  Gently place the love heart embeds into the soap frosting.  Allow this to set up. 

Your Bleeding Heart Soap is now ready to use!  Enjoy!
