[@fayetyler4562]

Karen joyous are so generous and help so many people. I do hope you give classes and wifi be sure to watch. You inspire so many people with your beautiful talent. And you are truly talented.

[@jillgross543]

Hello, I am a new subscriber, and a fairly new soaper! I think your the cupcake Queen! Your work is awesome! I must tell you a short story. When I was a small girl my father hired a couple from the UK to work for our family. At first the gentleman came to work as our gardener and she followed as our cook. They were a couple from our church, who lived in town and missed the countryside, they must have been in their 50's at the time. Ms. Kay, as we kids called her, was wise and loving, and cooked us wonderful meals, and Mr. John was a wonderful spirit and source of comfort when our Dad was away on business. I say all that to tell you, your voice is so comforting to me, it reminds me of Ms. Kay's. They were with our family for 20 years and I grew to love them for the wonderful influence they were in my life. Ms.Kay would get to work at 5 am and be there till after 6 pm after dinner. I always felt a twinge bad for her long hours, but I learned as I became a young lady that they loved us too, we were family. They needed us as much as we needed them! Had to share as your voice just floods my mind with many special memories!

[@brittanyreisinger3876]

Beautiful soaps. I love your chit chat. Your such a sweetheart shd im glad you jusy laugh the negativity off. Theres always going to be 1 person who had something to say. Keep doing you love.

[@dianegalston100]

Cheers from Idaho..... Karen thank you for sharing your thoughts and your awesome talents when making your stunning soaps! I find your videos to be very satisfying to watch, I'm disabled and sometimes I am bed ridden so to be able to watch you work making such beautiful art is a blessing in disguise and I just have to thank you for this so Thank You Karen and God bless you!!!!

[@shesellsfish]

I love it when you pop up a video, especially one where you are just chatting along as you make things. It feels like I'm right there with you having a chat. Been watching a long time from North Carolina, USA

[@EdensSecret1]

Actually for a while, I've tried to keep the chatting to what I'm doing in the video. But noticed how much people loved that in my old video's, so if you'd like more of that, please let me know.

[@kathybrochu1057]

I am from North Carolina to

[@shesellsfish]

EdensSecret1 Yes, please. I love hearing you chat about this and that as you are making things, where you went shopping and what you found, just day to day things, like getting your nails done, the Disney park channel you are all excited about, just day to day chat as if I popped into your kitchen instead of onto a video.

[@EdensSecret1]

Oh hello North Carolina

Aww thanks

I absolutely LOVE your videos! I watch you all the time. If I'm home I have KZbin playng on my TV in the background as I go about my day and you are always popping on. I get SOO happy when I hear your beautiful voice and accent (I'm From Pennsylvania, USA) come on the TV. I usually will go and watch and get sucked into TV LAND for a few mins while you're on. Your products are some of the most beautiful creations that I've seen. Thank You Soo much for putting them out there for everyone to see. I am in the process of starting my own business and I learn soo much from you even if it's a show I'm watching for the fourth time! And I find myself giggling at how cute the stuff you do is and the things you say. LOL You really are funny. I did want to ask you.. Where do you get your colorants from? Micas, Pigments etc. in those buckets? And is that a 16oz size? and last...What colors/ and type of colorants do you find you utilize the most? Thank You again for all the time and work you put in to all of your shows, and allowing us into your life like you so selflessly do. YOU ARE WONDERFUL!! I wish you ALL the Best life has to offer. Julie (from Pennsylvania USA)

You make beautiful soaps! I wish I could smell them. I’m watching from Placentia California. You’ve probably not heard of this sleepy superb, but we can hear the Disneyland fireworks from our home!

[@EdensSecret1]

Oh you lucky lady

[@Hapted]

Absolutely love them as always 😀 You Amaze me Karen "you are always SOO SOO CALM while Soaping" it's a big batch all at once & you amaze me how you always get your measurements "Spot on as Well" I would have been in a huge panic & flustered "Yet You Work Soo Incredibly Fast & They Always Turn Out Perfect"... You have an amazing imagination Karen I wondered if you could use the spare Soap you had to put aside to make "limited Editions Soaps" if you grated it up... Looking forward to see what you have planned in the future, I could watch you all day long "you have a huge amount of knowledge & a very very "kind down to earth & happy go lucky personality".... Thank you for another Awesome Video, it's been brilliant having you back😇.

[@EdensSecret1]

Aww, bless you....trust me they are not always perfect, but as you know a lot of practice. Thanks for all your kindness over the years.

[@michellegladiator4940]

If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your piping tips from? I'm in Canada and we are very limited. I can't find extra large tips. So frustrating. Lol

[@LunaFaeCreations]

These look delectable! 👌🏻

[@EdensSecret1]

Thanks

[@barbaraayala7808]

Wonder if you can do a re-batch with the soap when it ends up like that ? Cook it in a crock pot ?

[@EdensSecret1]

These molds have lasted me years and years. They are very hard to find and I don['t think they are even available any more. I can't remember the name of them either. They might have been Kitchen Craft or Zeal

[@EdensSecret1]

I will just slice it up and use it. Oh stunning California, you lucky person

[@poppyglow]

Beautiful nails (You deserve that) and beautiful soap :)

I have overflowed my bathtub a few times by get distracted with what I was doing on the computer and not paying attention to how fast the tub was filling up. Crap happens with creative people.

Hi love these they are really lovely i wish i could have some but im to far away postage would be to high im in New Zealand . Im a big fan of your vids loving watching them Thanks a lot

[@MilestoneMarcy]

Always enjoy watching! Your nails look so nice and I love that color too. The cupcakes look so amazing (as always) and I do like the higher angle for your camera. At what % do you SF? Karen, you're my favorite channel :)

[@EdensSecret1]

7 - 8% superfat and thanks for saying I'm your favourite, it really means such a lot

[@MilestoneMarcy]

You are the ORIGINAL inspiration for many of us watching! You deserve the credit!

[@EdensSecret1]

Thank you so much, you don't know what it means to hear you say that, I've very grateful, it encourages me to do more for you all.

[@southwestsunshinesoaper3373]

Greer, SC. Sooooo, could you have made dough out of that thick soap?

[@Meredith471]

Karen, I love the cupcakes! Is the piping the same recipe as the cupcake? I have heard/read that the piping is usually a different recipe. I want to try piping soap (have done cakes/cupckes), but have shied away due to not knowing if I am suppose to make a different batter or not. Absolutely love watching you from Arlington, Texas!

[@EdensSecret1]

Yes, recipe is exactly the same for the topping as the bottom. Nope, no need for a different recipe, just wait till your batter is the consistency of frosting, then pipe away. If you can pipe real frosting, you can do this too.

[@Meredith471]

EdensSecret1 thank you for the information. I can't wait to do a batch this weekend!

[@EdensSecret1]

Let me know how you get on

[@Meredith471]

I finally was able to get cupcake soaps made this week with the tops piped. They all turned out really well. I did discover though my piping bag is not the best for soap as it is very slick. Luckily, I have other piping bags that are not nearly as slick as what I used, so I will use those bags on my next batch.

[@lizrobbo193]

love your videos.... this has probably been asked before but how does the food imitation act not apply to your beautiful cupcakes? I'm in UK too so just wondering as I would love to make some cupcakes x

[@عايده-ق7ع]

Love 💕 you have done very good job 👍🏼

[@EdensSecret1]

Hello, which country are you from?

[@sandraleishman878]

These are one of my favs!

[@tammyr6168]

if it gets to thick can you add water/oil to dilute or could you "melt" it in the microwave? have never made soap but thinking of trying it.

[@Noel-ly8kp]

Hello Karen! Always excited to see a new video of yours pop up. Portage Pennsylvania USA, it probably won't even be on the map;) God Bless♡ BTW CHAT IT UP AND ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT:)

[@EdensSecret1]

Portage Pennsylvania, gotta take a look on google, I love looking up places I've never heard of, thanks for your comment

[@EdensSecret1]

Looked on google, it's a very neat looking little town

[@Noel-ly8kp]

EdensSecret1 Hahaha! That's awesome you tool the time to look it up♡

[@Primaverarome]

Hi! Long time fan here. Lovely! What ingredients do you use, is it just glycerin? How come you don’t need to melt to make these? Where can i get the ingredients you use and did you say that’s mica, any special kind? Thank you!

[@angeliiis2419]

Karen, would it be better to mix your batters separately?

Hi where did you get the molds

[@loisreed3326]

Hello from Australia love your videos

[@CutestHeidi]

I love these, so pretty. Question: I've been making cupcake soaps for a while now, I do have great piping skills since I finished pasty arts school and am already artistic. They look beautiful and everyone says they do. Oly problem is, no one buys them! I don't get it. I love them and use them in my on bathroom, they are pretty and functional. I am just not sure how to sell these to people. IDK if you can help with any advice? Thanks if so!

[@mcfamily5162]

CutestHeidi people tend to think they are too awkward to use. I think they are adorable. Just advise them to cut them down the middle and then they have 2 flat pieces of soap to wash with :)

[@EdensSecret1]

Heidi, are you in the States? Are you trying to sell to your local community/friends/family? How do you sell (website, market stall etc.?) If I get this info I may be able to answer your questions a little better

[@EdensSecret1]

Renee, that's Good advice. I actually use mine whole and rub onto a wet sponge, works perfectly

[@mcfamily5162]

EdensSecret1 Thank you Karen :) I’m chuffed to hear that from you. :) Yes I like to rub it onto a sponge also but some of my customers don’t use sponges so I told them to cut them in half from top to bottom :) xoxo

[@CutestHeidi]

Yes in the states, Michigan to be exact :) I sell locally, at craft shows and on a website.

[@cindyranuio4912]

How do you pipe without gloves on? I get soap all over the place when just filling the piping bag.

[@EdensSecret1]

I usually do wear gloves for piping, cos, like you, I can get a bit messy piping.

[@sandraleishman878]

When I win the lottery I'm going to buy lots. Fingers crossed

[@Skittles-wvr]

beautiful as always,here from Canada

[@EdensSecret1]

Hello Canada

[@tiffycampbell5838]

Yes we live the nails.

[@lindarollocks527]

I don’t mind when you hold your breath. It brings suspense. As long as you start breathing again it’s ok LOL

[@n.e.w.skincare]

You consider this a fail? I'm speechless 😊

[@sarahrogerson3840]

Is that Natures Garden in the USA if so,i bet the delivery was a bit steep x

[@EdensSecret1]

Yes, NG USA, delivery is steep, I never understand why USA to UK is so expensive, but it seems that way with most US suppliers. But even with the import duty, it is still cheaper than buying here. US $ converted to £'s Natures garden is only £10 for half a kilo

[@sarahrogerson3840]

Oh right,i'll have a look,was that glitter any good for you when I sent you the link last week x

[@EdensSecret1]

Wrong colour glitter, but thanks all the same, someone told me where I can get it

[@sarahrogerson3840]

I have made a purchase from NG and was amazed on how much it cost,Thanks for that advice x

[@ambersdiamondpainting8831]

So stunning 😍
