Easter themed 5 layer cold process soap with piping and soap dough egg decoration recipe & turorial

Today we continue our Easter themed week with a 5 layer, cold process soap.
We have chosen an Easter theme for this soap and have used 5 different pastel shades of mica to create the layers in our soap. We are using soap frosting to pipe the top of today's soap and we are also using some soap dough Easter eggs which we have created and brushed with matching shades of mica.
We will take you through the process of creating this soap, showing you how to create layers in cold process soap and what technique to use to ensure the layers do not break through each other.
Below is the recipe we have used today. The given quantities will be enough to fill a 5lb loaf mold:
400g Water
218g Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
680g Olive Oil
368g Coconut Oil
198g Sweet Almond Oil
150g Shea Butter
114g Castor Oil
76g Cocoa Butter
50g "Mistletoe Kisses" fragrance oil (Candleshack)
1g pale pink mica
1g purple mica
1g pale blue mica
1g yellow mica
1g pale green mica
For the Piped Frosting
200g Water
109g Sodium Hydroxide (Lye)
340g Olive Oil
184g Coconut Oil
99g Sweet Almond Oil
75g Shea Butter
57g Castor Oil
38g Cocoa Butter
For the soap dough eggs
Small quantity of pre-made soap dough (we use our standard recipe to create our soap dough) and small amounts of matching mica colours to dust each egg with.

super cute soap, always enjoy your videos. The only thing I would do differently is make the piping green, like Easter basket grass!

It is a super cute design! I love it 💕

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

Love this soap. I hope you don’t mind that I’ve used your inspiration for mini Easter eggs for my bubblegum soap ( I did credit your wonderful idea 😉). The mini eggs are definitely the cherry on the cake 😍

[@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany]

I believe I saw your soaps and (if they are the ones I am thinking of) they looked beautiful! We don't mind at all and we are glad our soap inspired you 😊

[@Hilary_ClarbySoaps]

@@TheSussexHandmadeSoapCompany thank you! I try not to copy people’s designs, so I did my colours swirly…but coating soap dough in mica to make the eggs on top was a fantastic idea…although next time I’ll do just round balls as my “egg” shapes were less than perfect 🤣🥰
