The mold that I use calls for 40 ounces of oils but I add an additional 20 ounces for piping and frosting on top. That is for the cake soap. For the cupcakes I believe I use about 26 ounces of oil and that will do 6 cupcakes but keep in mind that I pile it on high and some people make them...
Go on youtube and search soap cupcakes or soapmaking and you will find several tutorials. :0) that's what I did. I do the cold process cupcakes but there are bath fizzy cupcake tutorials too. I may try those soon lol.
I have tried several different recipes the last few weeks...some all natural and some with lots of color. I'm working on a school fair project for September and I am making bath cupcakes, some cake soap, and some all natural with EO.

Oh that's nice then! I just bought enough supplies recently to do a few batches again...I had a lot of stuff that went bad and had to toss a while back. I'd be glad to swap off stuff when I get some stuff.
hey i recognize you. Where do you mostly order your supplies from? I have usually ordered from Wholesale Supplies Plus and Bramble Berry. WSP is closer to me and usually cheaper. I'd like to find a good place for fragrances and EO too. I purchased some from eBay and I really like the scents...
Hey! I'm just starting back up making soap. I have 2 batches curing and they are smelling yummy. I had a 3rd batch but botched the batch and pitched it...my kids said it looked like oatmeal and was ugly...lol.. I can always count on them to tell me the truth. I am just getting the basics...
