Frosted Carrot Cake.
Who doesn't love sweet, succulent, sugary, evil carrot cake? (Shawna, don't lick the screen! Yes, this is the same scent as that lotion I sent you). I'm really happy with the layers. At first I was worried it wasn't orange enough, but once I came back into the kitchen for another peek, I felt it looked more natural the way it turned out. After having my first batch's "frosting" begin to turn brown after a few days, I researched the issue and realized that I can buy a vanilla stabilizer that will keep scents with vanilla fragrance oils in them from changing color (and keep that nice, clean white frosting appearance).
Fruit Salad.
This pretty gradient-colored batch has the scent of a mix of oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, ripe melon, peaches, and kiwi. One whiff as they popped out of the mold made me ready for summer!
Cinnamon Buns.
This is a scent I tried once before and loved, but the presentation wasn't impressive whatsoever. I had a plain square bar of shea butter with brown pigment and I sprinkled some oatmeal in it. It smelled wonderful, and the oatmeal made a great exfoliant, but the soap was just ugly. I really wanted to be able to come up with something adorable for this soap, something unique and that my customers would love. I knew I wanted the look of gooey cream cheese frosting dribbling down. I did end up making a mess, but the end result was worth it!
