On the Curing Rack: Winter Wonderland
Yes, I did make the Winter Wonderland soap on Tuesday, cut it and took pictures yesterday that I posted on Facebook, but now have a few moments to post here. It’s the same great fragrance from the last two years, and mostly the same color palette as last year, with a few small tweaks. Because I love to experiment!
Since I had some electric bubblegum colorant left from the Magma soap project, I decided this would be a great time to test it out in cold process soap. Last year I used some pink micas that were less than stellar. I really like the way these pinks turned out – one light, one dark. Last year’s soap was also made with an in-the-pot swirl that was pretty cool, but I wanted to see what it would look like with larger patches of color.
The greens are the same micas that I used last year, and I think they are perfect! The color palette reminds me of this super cute basket box from Nashville Wraps:
Oh, and the scent blend goes something like this: Top notes of citrus, including grapefruit, orange, bergamot, and lemon. The refreshing heart is composed of violet, cyclamen, bois de rose, muguet, pineapple, and a hint of gardenia. Base notes are citronella, sandalwood, jasmine, and musk. Super fresh, clean scent!
Winter Wonderland Soap will be available at Greatcakessoapworks.com on December 4th!

Love that Limey Green. It is SOO pretty with the pink.
Lovely soap, Amy, the colours are beautiful, x Linda
I love the pinks and greens – super non-traditional and a reflection of the fun Holiday spirit. Beautiful, Amy !
Amy, you amaze and inspire me. It takes time to make soap. It takes more time to blog about it. It takes even MORE time to video it. I always learn from your posts and I appreciate your hard work.
And the soap? Stunning
Wow! That looks beautiful, and the scent combination sounds wonderful!!
I love this soap! It looks like candy in snow!
Absolutely stunning! I love the colors!
This is such a beautiful combination of colors! And very inspiring, too!

You did a really, really beautiful job. It’s a twist on Christmas colors, but somehow, it still looks Christmasy and festive. And it must smell just fabulous!
Wow Amy! Those colours really pop! Love this one! <3
What a super fun and festive soap, the colors are just perfect!
