Anne-Marie Makes Candy Cane Melt & Pour Soap - Perfect for the Holidays | Bramble Berry

This Candy Cane Soap project is a classic for the holidays and makes a great gift. The bars are scented with Candy Cane Fragrance Oil. Red EcoGlitter is sprinkled on top for some extra glitz and glam.

Layering melt and pour soap does take a little bit of patience. Make sure the layer below is cool and firm enough to support the one on top. We highly recommend having 99% isopropyl alcohol on hand for this project. Spraying it before pouring each layer helps them adhere to each other.
Ingredients:
Tall 12" Silicone Loaf Mold
30 oz. Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base
20 oz. Buttermilk Melt and Pour Soap Base
Perfect Red Color Block
Red EcoGlitter
0.8 oz. Candy Cane Fragrance Oil
99% Isopropyl Alcohol

That's great you use eco glitter, what is it made of (it wasn't mentioned). I live my the Atlantic so we need to be careful what we use (especially because the whales migrate nearby)

[@bramble-berry]

@@KO-ll4mk EcoGlitter is made of cellulose, which is an organic compound found in plants. It mainly comes from cotton and wood pulp. You can read all about EcoGlitter on our website here: www.brambleberry.com/ingredient-information/colorants/art0211-all-about-ecoglitter.html

this was the first soap i made. but when i made this, my layers broke apart when i cut it. i was so dissapointed. well, that was last year. do you know how to prevent that this year? i didnt use the same baces that you used... maybe that was it?

[@nataliefromnormandya1135]

Received my order of candy cane fragrance and color blocks a few days ago. I can hardly wait to make this! Thanks for the video. 💕

[@Cmizz1]

Nice Xmas gift idea! Can additives such as oils or butters be added? If so, at what measurement?

[@bramble-berry]

Yes, but too much additional oils and butters can make your soaps too soft. We recommend using a maximum of 1 tablespoon of extra oil or butter per pound of soap.

[@yohanaplester2284]

if someone can help, I love Bramble Berry ideas, products and designs, but I have been feeling frustrated with this melt and pour layers. I have been watching my temperature to pour the second layer very carefully, and still separate when cutting or when using. I use the alcohol 99%, spray not to much not to little, I let the first layer hard, did not work. I let the fist Layer to form hard skin, did not work. temperature is always about 140 to 135, sometimes decide to pour little hotter, does not melt the fist layers but still not stick enough when cutting or using. if anyone had another Idea I am all ears. thank you everyone for the good comments.

[@micahthomas9521]

If you are putting it in the fridge, don't do that. Leave in the mold overnight and don't mix different brands of soap base. Other than that, I don't understand why your soap is separating when you cut it. Hope this helps.

[@BuildABoss]

3:41 When melting the soap base you mentioned that its not to go below 135 or below for layering, is that Fahrenheit or Celsius? @brambleberry

[@amanahbrookins5487]

This happens to me sometimes when I take it out the soap out of the mold too early. Overnight is best because it gives the layers time to adhere

[@kathyvaughn5546]

I will try this method. New to soap making.

[@snehaagarwal9169]

What is the pouring temperature for fragrance oil?

[@edgarsmihovs9022]

Thank you for an amazing tutorial, Anne-Marie! Can you use 70% rubbing alcohol for removing bubbles and adhering layers?

[@theasinclaire52]

I'm going to try this out but I think I'm going to use green instead. Maybe some cookie cutter christmas shapes on top?

I believe I saw a teaser yesterday regarding a soap makers contest on TV with you, Ann-Marie, and LeeAnn Rimes as judges? Am I correct? I was watching My Lottery Dream Home lol and then there was something showing a soapers contest but as I went to look at my cable station guide to see the name of the show, I had to refresh my screen and the next thing I knew, it went back to the next episode of My Lottery Dream Home. So am I right??

[@bramble-berry]

Anne-Marie will be a guest judge on the soap episode of Meet Your Makers Showdown! It starts streaming on November 27 on discovery+.

[@TheSilly82]

Just recieved my kit today and cannot wait to do it! This will be my first time making soap, so a m&p project is a great place to start imo.

[@vedatobias1702]

Can I put my Pyrex measuring cup in a pan on the stove in water and let it melt slowly instead of using a microwave?

[@bramble-berry]

You can always use a double boiler setup for melt & pour soap, but never put the melting container directly on the heat surface.

Why layers seperate when I cut the soap?

[@劉宜育-o9k]

very beautiful ! may I know the temperature ! thanks so much !❤❤❤!

[@bramble-berry]

We recommend working with melt and pour around 110 degrees F.

Hello! I made a soy wax candle and it doesn't smell when it burns, at a 370 gram glass I used 342.59 soy wax and 27.41 perfume I melted at 85 gr and I added the perfume then I poured in a glass at 60gr can you tell me where I'm wrong? Thank you very much!

[@littlegirl2712]

Is it ok to sprayed lots of rubbing alcohol to the soap, i mean is it ok for sensitive skin to use the soap?

[@christeef6840]

Yes - the alcohol evaporates from the heat of the soap.

@@nataliefromnormandya1135 This ^ Every soapmaker WILL eventually have this idea, try it, and then realize it looks like meat. It's essentially a soap artist rite of passage at this point.

I stopped doing melt and pour, however when I used to do it and I tried layers, it always detached. My layers never stuck together

[@tiffany7023]

Please do a maker review throughout December like an advent calendar!! It'd be a fun way to see other customer and creators.

[@bekahrraine1885]

Am I correct in understanding that the main reason melt and pour doesn’t swirl like cold process it’s because it sets too fast and doesn’t stay at the thick liquid stage long enough? In theory if I could keep my melt and pour soap at 125~ liquid state fora longer period of time could I swirl it like cold prices? I have a warming box that I can do my soap making in then remove the mold from the box after… it wouldn’t heat much but just keep it from setting too fast….

[@amanahbrookins5487]

I have seen people swirl melt and pour but it doesn’t look exactly like cold process or have that height at the top but it is possible

[@antisocialbarbie1587]

What type of alcohol do you use here miss?

[@bramble-berry]

We use 99% Isopropyl alcohol when we're making melt & pour soaps.

[@rockgamegirl4551]

made these, not too hard, just very time consuming when you have to keep melting the bases each time you have to wait for the bottom layer to Harden

[@amanahbrookins5487]

I usually keep the melted base on the counter in a glass bowl next to the stove (I use double boiler to melt mine) while waiting for bottom layer to harden, keeps the base warmer. Also the type of base you use might harden faster.

My M&P always gets a skin and becomes thick so fast. How do i stop that from happening?
