Black Raspberry Vanilla Cupcake Soap

Third times the charm?  Well maybe, the soap was certainly easy to pipe this time, but I can't say that they look as nice as I would have liked. The color was meant to be darker purple and not a light pink. The "frosting" also looks a little soft to me, but I made sure to keep the points lower so that they do not look like pink Christmas trees! Once again I used a circle hole piping tip instead of the flower-like tip. I am not sure yet which look I prefer?  What is your opinion?

Black Raspberry Vanilla Soap Cupcakes

Cupcakes! Yumm...oh wait...this is soap!

I have been making some soap cupcakes as a special for Valentine's Day. I am preparing three different "flavors". They will be Dark Chocolate Raspberry (shown in this blog post), Coconut Lime, and Black Raspberry Vanilla. 

The cake part of these soaps is made with a dark chocolate fragrance and I darkened up the soap with a bit of cocoa powder. The frosting is scented with a sun ripened raspberry fragrance and the color is from a little bit of red clay. They are finished off with a touch of iridescent glitter to make sure that they sparkle.  I think that they really smell and look amazing! This was my first time piping soap and it was quite easy.  I think I may start making more of these! I have included a bunch of photos as I pipe on the last of the frosting. Enjoy!
