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!
