SOAP DISASTER!!! KEY LIME PIE SOAP MAKING GONE WRONG!!! | Royalty Soaps

[@HikenShtiken]

Hey, here is an idea! Why not make a "Failed Collection" where you share your experiences with soap that didn't turn out the way you wanted to and actually make it the right way. Yes? No?... I am just sharing :D

[@leisureletter2051]

That’s a great idea! Redemption Soap!

[@NanaSomebody]

That’s an amazing idea!!

[@beautywearsboots6458]

Love this!

[@DezMarivette]

Yes!! FrankenSoaps!!

[@amandajs9135]

YAAASSSSS!! 10000000% Down to see that! 👌😁👍❤❤❤❤

[@qstionblomens6138]

I’m sorry, but when that spatula fell in, I fell out laughing. The commercial break right after the zoom in only cracked me up more. Thanks for sharing even the failures with us, Katie!

[@lrizzard]

i thought she had given up and thrown in the spatula with anger 😆 took me by surprise, i cant imagine katie ever getting angry

[@chetta3482]

Me too, I replayed it too

[@anonymous-jh2gi]

I love your profile pic... also me too

[@kendallbruin6582]

If you ever really don’t like how a batch turned out you should donate it to a local women’s shelter. I know soap can’t solve the world’s problems but it would be so nice for them to have something beautiful like your soaps!

[@danielleking262]

I think she sells them as "peasant soaps" meaning something is not quite right with the batch.

[@fathomgathergood7690]

And the ones that aren't saleable are dangerous to use, because the lye has separated.

[@RoyaltySoaps]

We typically have a few batches we don’t sell as peasant soaps or get pulled from the shelves if they don’t sell and we do donate those to local hospitals or women’s shelters or families we are connected with that are in need.💗

[@jemminz4561]

After being in a woman's shelter I can honestly say this is a great idea. They really can use the help.

[@tenoralove]

I agree most of my soaps go to homeless shelters because I don't sell them and yet I'm addicted to making soap so after a couple of weeks I'm looking around and I have wall-to-wall soap LOL. I worked at a homeless shelter for women and children and I know for a fact that they appreciate everything that is given to them😀😀

[@beautywearsboots6458]

Rename it "Expedition to Venus" and make it a part of a mercury retrograde collection!!!!!

[@Queenofthatank]

33 likes at 3 hours oh something big is coming

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

I would absolutely invest in a weird planetary alien landscape series soap, ngl

[@beautywearsboots6458]

ETA: maybe this could even be an unscented collection! I would think that because there's no air in space, there would also be no smells?

[@mallorylaughlin8474]

I was thinking "Alien abduction" but this is great

[@sonofjohn333]

I was also reminded of Venus by the soap. I'm so surprised that I'm not the only one!

[@samantharuebel8932]

OMG I lost it at the spatula!!! 😂😂 I'm so glad you share your "mess ups" with us. But really, I think it's beautiful!

[@Katie96734]

I can't be the only who didn't realize fragrance made such a huge difference! 🤯 I still love how it came out!!

[@thesquishfam6165]

Okay next Key Lime soap you do please dollop the top with “whipped cream” soap icing, and then add the green bits over top ❤️ it’s still beautiful

[@adriannablack9495]

Yes, I was so surprised she didn’t add frosting since the white “cream” would look nice in the green base

[@victoriam.4927]

Maybe add a lime slice embed to the very top?

[@jessiemac1858]

I would soooooo buy a "pie of the month soap," that was actually shaped like a slice of pie. Summer pies like Key lime, lemon, strawberry, ect.....then fall cod be like an apple pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie......🤤🤤🤤now I'm hungry

[@kioku119]

Key lime pie uses meringue not whip cream. That said real key lime pie is yellow not green.

[@len_pheonix141]

I am so thrilled other people asked for an unscented fancy soap! I thought about asking a few times but didn’t think anyone else would want it. I’m so sensitive to so many fragrances that by the time I check ingredients on what I’m buying on your release date it’s all sold out! Key lime pie is probably one of my favorite desserts.

[@-_Fawi_-]

I am normally allergic to soal but the ones with fancy oils etc in them makes my allergy worse I think there should be always a unsceted soap that also isnt just one color (as what i came across always-not here tho) And it shouldnt be limited time available bc we are not allergic or something for limited time

[@helenamirian908]

Being as it's not scented, could just be a cool caramel apple soap...love key lime pie! Would choose it over chocolate. I'm funny though, will almost always choose fruit

[@saraspear2723]

I completely agree that you could call it caramel apple sucker soap and no one would know it was a mess up.

[@sarjean]

Yes! My thought exactly!!

[@brittanystemple1400]

When she put the glitter on my first thought was caramel apple sucker

[@tainadelcaribe]

I really like the greens, the swirly goodness was so pretty!!! Even your “bad batches” are always somehow pretty!

[@elyseparker5333]

Sometimes I think artistic people are hard on themselves for not creating what they had in their head. I get that but...it wasn't a giant failure. It was just not how you were expecting, you know? ❤

[@TheGhjbkl]

Yes! Artists focus on how their creations don't align to their visions, while viewers see products for what they are - without any preconceived notions.

[@alicewanders-ey7wc]

Exactly this. I thought it was pretty.

[@ItsDevore]

But everyone has full rights to say if they think they work are failure. For you its pretty, for her it can be a failure and that's ok

[@heidikuronen9491]

@@alicewanders-ey7wc me too... it kind of looks like one of my pies (bc I'm too impatient to do the crust properly)

[@elyseparker5333]

@@ItsDevore of course she has the right to. I just wanted to put another perspective out there and perhaps reassure some people that we can be our own worst critics and we don't always have to be hard ourselves.

[@noahark1822]

Seeing creators I highly respect talk about their failures make me feel much better about when I fail at things, esp when the thing isn't *that* bad but the creator can only see the flaws. It shows that being hard on yourself is human, and makes me want to be as understanding to myself as I am of them

[@Sugarz-ju2dk]

Even though it was a failure I still loved it The “Duchess of Suds” is still sitting on the soap 🧼 throne!! 👑

[@Ludesto]

Same!

[@lasumrell]

I love the green swirls during your 'failed' pour. I died when you threw in the spatula. Love your videos!

[@pagecarlee626]

As a chronic migraine sufferer, I buy your soap to put in our spare bathroom because scents trigger me pretty badly but I am absolutely a customer for life now! Thank you for seeing us scent-sensitive people who so longingly look at the pretty Lush bath bombs before pouring in the unscented Epsom Salt into the actual bath.

[@sanash96]

Same! Scents are a huge trigger for me! I’ve never bought one of her soaps because of it.

[@allisonlacy3004]

The more concussions I get ( currently healing from one and also experience chronic migraines ) the more sensitive to Scents I am becoming and although it sucks I am thankful for people like her who see us !!

[@ArreisMorsCI]

Scents are also a trigger me, as a chronic migraineur. BUT also, I have a hard time finding a soap maker who doesn't use scents and/or shea butter in every recipe! I'm allergic to it, and cannot buy these beautiful soaps because they're using butter/oils that I'm allergic to :( So, I have started making my own soaps instead.

[@petradegroot3578]

Light is a big trigger for me but I agree, sent can have such a impact

[@danaondrackova3431]

I had no idea scents can trigger migraine in some people. My regrets for you, my dear, for the pain and for the unability to use scents. Does your migraines trigger with all scents or just specific ones? I am curious, sorry.

[@kylieeliz]

Personally I feel like a frosted soap with a "meringue" for key lime pie and the cheesecake one should've been unfrosted. But I love the idea of a key lime pie soap!

[@tiffanyandrade2705]

I agree with that honestly

[@teasugarsalt]

Key lime doesn't have meringue!

[@shavonstevens2260]

Tea , sugar , and salt I was thinking the same thing i am a pastry chef in Colorado and key lime didn’t have meringue ! A lemon meringue does ! Similar custard bases but usually the key like is finished off with a dollar of whip cream or just plain

[@mwater_moon2865]

​@@shavonstevens2260 My granny made it completely covered on top with whipped cream. And what cheesecake gets iced? Personally, I think *this* soap (with no scent) should be re-named "candy apple sucker" and the collection soap (with scent) should be a hi-top with icing goodness and a slice embed.

[@carols5665]

Perfect timing since I was looking for something to relax to before bed. 😀

Oh NO! Aw, the spatula drop! You handle your soap 'ooopses' with much less crying and anger than I do! I love seeing these fails as a soapmaker, because it helps me NOT make those same fails in future. I love to see how you problem solve them, you're amazing as always!

[@tenoralove]

Your failures usually work out, so I'm not worried. I was more worried that I wasn't going to get a video so glad to see it

[@simonopps]

Flashback to that coconut milk soap... 😂

[@BlackKoshka23]

I love that you don't shy away from showing us your failed batches. It's very encouraging seeing that even professionals get things wrong sometimes.

[@Ubergeek0]

Katie: this is such a fail! Everyone else: it’s clearly beautiful and modern take on pie….

[@lacytaylor1501]

As someone who's crust ends up inside my pies, looks like what my key lime pie would probably end looking like if I made one.

[@shrutimangal4425]

That is adorable tho

[@Potterhead-gh8sf]

I was JUST thinking how awesome unscented versions would be! My family has sensitive noses but I love your soaps!

[@saracat2060]

in all seriousness, i was having a really really awful day until i started this video and ur general vibe (yes i said vibe) and outlook is helping immensely. obv this is a video on the internet, and i dont know you at all, but like, thanks dude.

[@queenieflowerqueenieflower3861]

As you dropped your spatula I got an ad that started "NOOoooooooooooo"😂

[@raindown1321]

Oh man, as a painter I definitely go through that moment of- "I just completely forgot how to paint. That's it, there's no hope. All my training and experience has left me forever!!" What it usually actually signifies is that something went wrong with my tools but in that bit of time between "everything is going wrong" and "here's the simple adjustment I have to make" it's all just thoughts about how badly I'm doing. We all go through it!

[@beckyannie2486]

You could have sold that as a kids minecraft soap 😂💕🤓

[@jemminz4561]

Absolutely true. Good one.

[@lexanneklimes5411]

Thank you for talking about how artists go through rough patches too. I'm learning ceramics, and everything feels like it's going wrong. Your pep talk was helpful.

[@lostcontrol1981]

Katie - I have a great hint for you!!! If you have runny bottom layer, spray liberally with alcohol snd wait a minute or two. A thin skin will form on the top. I find if you’re gentle you can float your next layer on it. I use this method a lot when I make rainbow soap because you’re having to do so many layers and you don’t want to wait hours to get the bottom layers to set up. Hope it can be a useful tip for you abd other soap makers out there!! 💕💕💕

[@wolvie1618]

I honestly love how you show your mess ups too. A lot of people seem to prefer to hide their mistakes, but you are always like "oopsie doodle, learning moment" which is really great.

[@eveleen18]

The grand carousel cake that was destroyed on cake boss was so heartbreaking but they didn't put a guy in the back on the literally biggest cake they have made with the least supports? Coincidence? I think not!

He should’ve had his cake properly supported and constructed.

[@michaelacraigmile1241]

That line about having some failures even when you know what you're doing and starting to question if you're even good at the thing was something I needed to hear today. I had 3 failed batches of macarons yesterday when I haven't had a failed batch in almost a year. A nice reminder to hear that today.

[@o0camillio0o]

Fail vids are my favorite! I always learn so much (not that I ever intend to use my soap making knowledge)

[@Melavara]

Same! I just love learning about how it works!

[@SavvyFaithLove]

Please sell them as peasant bars and title them “Dessert Abduction”!!! It’s such a good pun.

[@bassethoundblooze8778]

You should make a soap inspired by ice cream? Your shirt made me think of it.

[@nitsirkroy]

Ooooh with this drips like that in it somehow? All colorful? Ooooooooooooo yeah!

[@coffebug]

Yep and add one big frosting blob then a melt and pour cone sticking off the top would look so cool like the bar was just a dropped ice-cream. Chocolate brown on the bottom and a few other layers of color as the scoops .

[@razz.nikkie]

45 seconds in and I liked this video because Katie is truly a lovely person to acknowledge that everyone isn’t perfect and makes mistakes and ITS OKAY TO DO THAT. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jamul_cos]

I actually find the failed soap videos really entertaining!

[@taylorandras4844]

Some things I learned from Katie: 1- never judge a book by a cover (aka green dyes look funky and then pretty the next day) 2- accept your mistakes, and if it’s appropriate laugh cause Katie’s laugh makes everything better

[@samanthagray7136]

Katie your determination and perseverance are amazing. I love how you show mistakes. No one is perfect but you do epic art and work. Thank you so much for being such an inspiration.

[@elizabethlensky6616]

Thank you for still sharing this! I just had a batch go all sideways on me last night and was bummed about it, and this was exactly what I needed to hear. The thing about several going wrong at a time especially. Thank you!

(Edit after watching) Actually... sure it doesn't look like key lime pie BUT I think it's really cool looking!! I might pop by the store on release day for an unscented bar (I like... some... scents... non-pastry-like scents... but sometimes it's nice to have something unscented)! Not that there's anything wrong with having a theme or inspiration but sometimes it's ok for something to not have them and just be cool to look at or pretty! So fear not! It's not what you intended but it's not a fail either! Much love!!

Sure did enjoy the video. Glad you share with us the realities of soap making. 20 years ago I catered my friends wedding by myself. I made something like 500 mini tart shells and transported them across several states for the wedding and then filled them with keylime pie filling. I haven't enjoyed key lime pie since. I have eaten it a couple of times but I haven't made. My husband loves it.

[@lostcontrol1981]

It IS so much fun! I started after watching Katie, and I love it. Once you start you’ll be addicted. I have had so much fun making soaps - and surprisingly it became a side business for me. The cool thing is that every soap maker is different. You might love bright colours, someone else will use no colours or fragrances. Some people like only natural colourants like cocoa powder or dandelions. My friend loves bright neons! 🌈. Your personality will really shine once you get started making it. Good luck!!! 🍀🍀🍀

[@Zardox2]
