On the Curing Rack: Pink Papaya

Pink Papaya Soap by Great Cakes Soapworks

Check out the Pink Papaya soap I made yesterday! This is a brand new fragrance that will be perfect for summer. The overall scent is very refreshing and somewhat tart. It has notes of mango leaf, green fig, star fruit, and passion fruit. I love how the colors turned out on this one. I used a raspberry mica for the solid pink, then swirled a bit of the pink into the creamy white, and topped it all off with more white. And of course, glitter. Can’t have a pink girlie soap without it, right?

This one is going to cure for several weeks, and be ready for purchase at Greatcakessoapworks.com on Tuesday, April 12.

While you’re waiting for Pink Papaya, you can pick up a soap grab bag or two. I’ve sold more than half – just 8 left!

  1. That is just beautiful – I adore it, the pink is soooooooo lovely! I used the Raspberry POP mica and got a peachy colour but maybe I should have used more perhaps? Really lovely lovely soap!

  2. Thank you, Michele!

    @Celine – Pinks are difficult unless your soap base is as white as possible. I think they tend to turn peach-y otherwise, and yes, it does take a LOT more mica to achieve a darker color than the oxides. I have to keep reminding myself to keep adding more when it seems like I’ve already used plenty!

  3. Hi Amy,

    Well, I have to say your Pink Papaya soap, which is an incredible creation, looks like an ice cream sandwich! You just want to bite into it and expect fruity flavors and it’s soft, and really good. I like the shade of pink, also.

    The raspberry mica worked very nicely!

    What inspired you to make this soap? It is such an enticing soap!

  4. @Michael – It was all inspired by the fragrance. The name “Pink Papaya” just begged to be a pink soap! I’ve been experimenting more with layers lately too, so this was just one more experiment!

  5. @Sergio – Thank you for visiting my blog! Your soaps are lovely as well – just wish I knew more Spanish! Google doesn’t translate very well. 🙂
