Hi Katie!! Just wanted to say you are such an inspiration and the reason I got into soap making! Idea for future dessert soap batches: doing a melt and pour drizzle AFTER you cut the soap so that the drips run down the face of the bars. I thought that could look so cool!

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Great idea!!

[@mandap1229]

Hi Katie. My 9 year old had a birthday recently and we purchased some of the samples. He opened the package and said excitedly "are these the soaps from the soap making videos we always watch together? Royalty Soaps? These were just what I wanted!" Can't wait to give my second oldest the princess peach soap next month as it was just what she wanted. So in conclusion, thanks for the great content that helps my family wind down after a busy day.

i think the inside orange embed would do really well if it was coated in a bright bright bright orange mica, like that cheeto dust one

[@ameko1ikiru]

Oooh, it would look like a tangerine

[@butterflyminder]

It's a wonderful design - so simple, pretty yet vibrant and playful - but I do agree the colours need a wee tweak. The brightness of the top is making the soft yellow bar look dullish in contrast. Also: Badgers forever. Also also: your husband is freaking hilarious and you have great chemistry together, can he be guest star more often plz?

[@footlongmcq]

This soap reminded me of a cupcake calendar i had and believe it or not june was an orange vanilla cupcake! For my 35th birthday a friend of mine made a giant version of that cupcake for me. So that you Miss Katie for making this soap it brought back a happy memory 🙂. Also team goose 😁

[@leahwilson9152]

QOTD: Goose in a bonnet no question. It makes me think of the mischievous goose game where he steals and plays pranks on the gardener haha. Also, I think this bar would benefit from a real dried orange slice on one side of the icing.

Lol my brain went the same way yours did with the geese, Abigail and Amelia, from the Aristocats, and BOTTOMS UP still makes me crack up to this day

[@arynphillips5888]

Love this collection theme! I was curious what your production sequence looks like when you aren't filming a single soap, but producing for sale! Do you still mix the same quantity of oils and work in smaller batches, or is there a scaling up to make the quantities you need? How much soap can you make in one day? I always love seeing the creative side of your soap videos, but would you ever do even a short video on what it looks like to make a TON of soap?

[@RoyaltySoaps]

Allllllll of this depends on the month but we only scale double what I have on camera, so four loaves at a time. That's our biggest batch size because of the extreme detail these soaps require. We call the batches I do on camera "jacks" and the 4x loaf batches "kings". At my very fastest and when I worked alone, before a Holiday launch, I could make 8-10x Kings in a day. That's over 500 bars. XD It was a 14 hour day. lol

[@helenamirian908]

I wonder what it would look like if you stuck one of those plastic holographic texturing sheets onto the top of a bar of soap? The sheets leave nothing behind because they can be put on chocolate. Somehow it creates a texture and makes it holographic 😆

I love this soap! I also love your question of the day. I think I’m going with a badger with a top hat as a nieghbor. He will most likely be a quiet gentleman that doesn’t have lots of parties at his home so it would be quiet. I doubt he would be too friendly with the other neighbors so no nosey nieghbor problems. If I had the goose for a neighbor I think she would have daily tea parties with her family members and there would be plenty of noise! So that’s my answer. What a great question!!

Really cute soap! Too bad I'm allergic to citrus and the smell of citrus gives me horrible headaches 😂. If it were me, I'd have made the main body a creamy white-yellow to make the orange stand out more, but otherwise I like the top as is and the orange design is cute!🍊

Badger in a tophat, hands down. So precious.

[@nikkitrueblue]

I use Tree Hut Watermelon Sugar Scrub. It's nice and the smell isn't so fake. When I was preggers with my son I used their body butter and my stretch marks were minimal and my skin was sodt without feeling creepy crawly. HOWEVER as much as I lurrrrve Tree Hut, it does have some ingredients that aren't so good for the skin. So I'll stick with my Royalty Soaps wish list lol
