Instructions
Instructions:
Steps 1-3: In a large mixing bowl, add whipped soap base and glycerin. Mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 1 minute.
Step 4: In a small microwave container, add 6-8 cubes (each cube equals a little less than 1 ouncof the clear soap base. Heat in 30 second bursts until soap is completely melted.
Steps 5-6: Fold cornstarch into whipped soap mixture. Add melted soap base and mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 1 minute. Mix on high until mixture begins to thicken and is light and fluffy, much like frosting.
Steps 7-9: Divide soap mixture into two smaller bowls. Mix in 1-2 drops of the lavender/purple to one and 1-2 drops of yellow/orange to the other. Mix in the dried calendula and lavender. I used a spice grinder to make it easier to pipe the mixture into the jars.
Steps 10-12: Cut tip of piping bag and place piping tip into the piping bag. Carefully add one of each color frosting, so they are side by side, to the piping bag.
Step 13: Holding bag tightly in your dominant hand, pipe the frosting into your Mason Jar. Top with a sprinkling of dried flowers if desired.
