As always, I loved watching you creating soap magic :-)

[@debkeeney-cravath9887]

Love all your cupcake soaps! You have taught this newbie soaper a lot! 😊

[@jackiedeans6603]

Thanks so much for the videos I just love watching them. It's always been a dream of mine to have a small shop making soaps and things. Sadly it will never become a reality but I can live it out thru your videos. Thanks again!

[@bratpacksoaps4789]

Love the cupcakes. I feel for you with John off. My husband was off this fall for broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Drove me crazy.

[@christib9540]

I love watching your videos. Your voice is very calming to me.

[@EdensSecret1]

[@sandraleishman878]

Karen, they are amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@Deb1Gilmore]

Well Karen... you did it; got me in the Christmas sprit and I'm ready to start mine LOL!!! What a beautiful talent you have :)

[@EdensSecret1]

Great, I know it's a bit early but we gotta get making the xmas stuff soon as poss.

[@maggadora2816]

Adorable. Really cute soaps. You are very talented soap maker .)

[@EdensSecret1]

Thanks Margaret, a lot of practice

[@lisa-m-jennings]

Well done! They do look like Christmas trees. Thank you so much for sharing. They are just lovely. :)

[@MammaCass]

lol at john. poor john lol guys are so terrible when they get a boo boo and there you are having a hernia op bless you, bet it was lucky you had a good recovery, whatever would the boys do without you x

[@EdensSecret1]

Sure was lucky, I was up and about after 3 days, I just couldn't sit around any longer xx

[@MammaCass]

Ahh you're a little trooper. I know what you mean I became disabled very rapidly a few years ago, I lost the ability to use my hands for fine motor skills, at the time I was an eager paper crafter and I got so bored! That's when I discovered soap making, I can only manage it on good days but stick blenders are a God send! Being able to be creative again has really helped me through a rough few years x

[@L-M-O-1]

I love, love, love these Christmas tree cupcakes! So amazing, your talent. love to hear you talk, I know you said in a comment of another video that you were a bore but you really aren't

[@PrettyAliceNight]

They look awesome. I love watching your videos, especially when your making something. I've been making soap for probably 4-5 years now and have been wanting to try making piped cupcakes but don't really know how to do the piping. They seem like a lot of fun to make though.

[@EdensSecret1]

Honestly, all you do is let the soap batter thicken up to the texture of buttercream frosting and fill your piping bag. It does take practice getting it right but is so worth it when you do. xx

[@rosarosado2967]

Beautiful, Love it..you are so creative...

[@EdensSecret1]

Thanks Rosa

[@maggiegcreations268]

[@denisebraybrooke32]

I'm sorry to ask, but how do you get your beautiful white for piping. Love your videos..i know it must take tremendous work and effort, so thank you for showing us your talent, and inspiration. Denise. Michigan, USA

[@darineabuniemh8651]

lovely.. poor John.. get well soon !!

[@MammaCass]

hello again :) you know you was thinking of ideas for videos, what you suggested about an equipment video was good but I've had a brain wave. what about reviewing English soap making supplier fragrances and colours. I've watched so many reviews of companies I can never buy from and there is a seriously limited amount of information on discolouration or behaviour in cold process soap, whenever I go to buy a fragrance, I would love to see some reviews on the English suppliers please :)

[@lozbob3824]

Cassie Bird That is an amazing idea, I live in the uk also and the information from suppliers is nothing compared to other countries, That video would be an amazing help ❤️ xx

[@lindacampbell2329]

What is the frosting made of ? Thank you for sharing how to do this and the sprinkles?

[@twinhavensgoatmilksoap6446]

They are so cute!

[@EdensSecret1]

Thanks x

[@jatarathomas6742]

[@nicolemodlin]

[@EdensSecret1]

glad you like them

[@KCherieSoaps]

How cute! Love these Karen :-)

[@EdensSecret1]

Hi Judy, can you remember any other soapers from 2009/2010?

[@KCherieSoaps]

Hi Karen. I saw that you added the old soapers to your video description :-) I haven't heard from Sherri in quite a while. Last I heard, she was moving again. She had been in Arkansas for a while. I keep looking for her to post a new video or list something on Etsy. I remember ShellyByrd1 :-) She was a very sweet lady. I haven't seen anything from her either. Remember the girl "Dani" - I can't remember her channel - it was MigDani or something like that. She posted a video not too long ago. She is into scrapbooking now. Then there was WickedScentuals. Last I heard from her a few months ago, she is battling cancer :-( Do you remember thehenandherchicks? She actually lived in the city next to where I live. Her and her husband moved. She still does videos every once and a while. She also still lists things on her Etsy site. Do you remember the lady Roxy? I think her channel was Roxanna Marie (or her last channel was named that). I haven't seen anything from her. The crazy lady (can't remember her channel name) that was doing soap cakes completely disappeared and never came back. Cool memories of all the soapers from way back!!!

[@Crazy.Sheller]

So cute 🎄

[@stefanietorrey5334]

Awesome ! So glad I found your videos !

[@jeanettewillems4501]

Hello from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. I notice that you use the silicon cupcake liners to make your cupcake soaps. Do you sell them with the liners? Also I love your cupcakes soaps they look very tasty.

[@jenniepoole2852]

wish i can make like that in time for christmas😊

[@EdensSecret1]

takes time, took me years to perfect and still they are not perfect, haha, but easier when you have a how to video

[@dcuevas24]

[@ellenblack5376]

[@ljduerden]

Karen, I think a utensil vid is a great idea. If you need a hand filming/editing, I haven't been up to see you for ages, so will come and give you a hand!! Know nothing about soap but can hold a camera steady ;-) Leanne x

[@EdensSecret1]

Hi leanne, glad to see you still around xx

[@JasbirKaur-qq4lm]

How do you do the icing bit.How do you get your soap thick for icing

[@L-M-O-1]

tell poor Jon that I feel soooo bad for him having broken his foot. hoping he gets better. there, there's his sympathy comments

[@EdensSecret1]

He will love that thanks x

[@cherspann]

Poor John! I sympathize with you!

[@EdensSecret1]

Poor John

[@s38hyler]

How many pounds of soap do you make in one batch and in one day. I would like a little 5 min video with all you made in one day. It seems like you make soap all day😃

[@annieajibola4246]

Beautiful 👍💕💕💕

[@ArtisanSunsetSoaps]

How Darling!!! 🎄

[@hetzeepvrouwtje]

Hi! Nice trees, but what do people do with them?use as soap or? Decoration?

[@EdensSecret1]

Use as soap, just rub your soap onto a sponge or cloth and rub away

[@hetzeepvrouwtje]

EdensSecret1 thank you for explaining 😁

[@EdensSecret1]

Yes, use them as soap, just rub onto a sponge and wash away

[@ey2477]

Does your sprinkles stick to your soaps? I have difficulty with my sprinkles.

[@dollyrocker40]

Hey karen loverly cupcake soaps you made another question i found your amazing lighter life weight loss vids and was wondering if you still at goal weight from doing the plan only im looking at doing Cambridge plan and want to no if it works well really 😀 thanks xx

[@EdensSecret1]

Thanks for asking. Unfortunately not, I am now heavier than I have ever been. I managed to maintain my lower weight for a couple of years, then it crept up a bit and then a bit more etc. etc.etc. I will do it again when I can afford it, as it is sooo expensive..... £70 per week. Before I did Lighter life, I tried the cambridge, but didn't like the tastes, maybe I should try cambridge again. I HATE how I look and I do believe now I have to fast to loose any weight, cos I've done healthy options and absolutely minimal came off, like 2lb in 4 weeks. I think it ruins our metabalism, but even so I will do it again.,

[@dollyrocker40]

thank you for replying i totally understand where your coming from aprrantly they have change there ingredients at cambridge and its 48 pound which is abit cheaper and theres videos on you tube dual dynamics videos are so inspiring i was thinking because you said you felt abit fed up in your other videos i thought maybe weight related as thats how i can get but you can do it as you done it before and looked bloody amazing stay positive and focused and you can do anything also dual dynamics cambridge diet has a Facebook page for support there so amazing on there have aloof t his videos good luck if you go ahead keep me updated xxx and your 50 years young I'm 46 50 is the new 30 xx

[@EdensSecret1]

That is interesting to know, I remember cambridge left a really tinny taste in the mouth, but yeah they are a lot cheaper. I have to do something again, I can't go on like this. Yes, my weight definitely affects how flat I can feel and you can hear I get out of breath easily too, also my boobs get right in the way when I'm working. YOU ARE INSPIRING ME JUST TALKING ABOUT IT XX THANK YOU XXX

[@EdensSecret1]

P.S. I'M NOT MISERABLE IN MYSELF, I JUST HATE HOW I LOOK. XX

[@dollyrocker40]

EdensSecret1 aww i hope i can inspire you you are so attractive and i no you have will power as you did it before and yes out of breath is not good i have Diabetes and blood pressure so need to loose some lbs To feel better it is harder as we get older going through the change ect but my friend lost 10 stone on the plan and feels like a new woman i need some sort of structure when on diets and its easy as you just grab and go i hope i can encourage you and you will be a new woman for next summer yaya xx.i start the plan on wedensady and might vlog it essex girl trapped in cornwall hahaha x

[@biblox7056]

so pretty poderia colocar os ingredientes na descricao do video para eu traduzir?? thank

[@SarcasticLipStick]

[@yvonnechaboya6525]
