Otherwise known as: When You Really Like Your Wedding Guests ...
We have a family wedding coming up and the beautiful bride will be remembered for her thoughtfulness and good taste, I'm sure! Jordan almond party favors are being replaced by soap favors. Here's a quick look at how they're made.
The Gray Batter:
Which is blended then unceremoniously poured into a makeshift mold and allowed to set over night:
The next day is when the real work occurs. This isn't particularly fun - I don't know of any short cut to getting round shapes other than just rolling, rolling, rolling them by hand.
Slowly but surely, progress is made and the loaf transforms and (thankfully!) disappears!
Now the shapes will cure for a day or two. It turns out that the amount of curing time required is exactly the same amount of time that it takes for me to be in the mood to mix another batch of soap. I love soap that way!
WAIT. So, first curls then bubbles? Like, the curls are turned into doodads?
ReplyDeleteDang, girl!
