On the Curing Rack: Butterfly Kisses
Here is a great story of an ugly duckling turning into a swan! Two years ago I blended a scent and created a soap that I sold as “Hibiscus”. Some of you may even remember it! I had a request from a friend to bring it back. It wasn’t my favorite soap to look at – in fact, it was a rather ugly duckling in my book.
To add insult to injury, the creamy parts eventually discolored to a light beige. Oh, so beautiful… However, it still had a very lovely fragrance (Right? Because I blended it myself!). So I decided I could work with the discoloration and the colors a little better, as well as come up with a name that was better suited for this sweet scent. Thus, Butterfly Kisses was born:
So what does this intriguing scent smell like? Sweet floral meets vanilla and amber with undertones of musk. Just heavenly. I used a little more titanium dioxide to help keep the creamy layers looking lighter – hoping it will hold!
Four weeks to cure will make this lovely soap available on August 21st at Greatcakessoapworks.com

Gorgeous colors! The tops look great, and the scent sounds lovely.
Beautiful! The layers turns out to be perfect. Good job
Beautiful, Amy! I think the first Hibiscus version is pretty, too, but I love the new look. The different shades of pink provide a nice contrast, and I love the pencil line between each layers. I hope the white color holds for you, too! The scent sounds lovely.
Hi Amy, Boy I thought the first one was pretty, but your layered pink version is a gem! I think it fits the name perfectly -I be these will sell like crazy! 🙂
