Hi everyone! In this video I am making Huckleberry Fluff Soap! I do get a frustrated with the topping portion of this soapmaking. My goal was not to pipe a design but to merely get the soap on without having to scoop it out a TBSP at a time. My batch normally sets up much quicker. Anyway, it was a real moment of things not going as planned, my impatience taking center stage, and then being happy with the new design that developed. This just demonstrates that not everything goes amazingly well in soapmaking, and I hope that by sharing this rainbow soap as part of our rainbow extravaganza, that another frustrated soapmaker will be comforted in knowing that it isn't always perfect!
This soap is scented in a juicy huckleberry scent and will be available as part of our Rainbow Extravaganza coming up in just over a week! We're tentatively planning our release for September 24th at 7pm central! It's pretty solid at this point but we'd like to keep it open to change if needed. :-)
We also have a short & sweet version on our channel: • Short & Sweet: Huckleb...

****FAQ****
Why doesn’t your video have a recipe and supply list? This video is not a tutorial.
How do I get started in soapmaking? I would recommend starting by arming yourself with knowledge. Educate and then experiment. Be sure to follow all proper safety precautions. A great starting place is the beginner cold process soapmaking series by SoapQueenTV here on KZfaq. You can then purchase all the supplies you need at Bramble Berry. Lovin Soap Studio also has a beginner series on KZfaq.
Why don't you share your cold process soap recipe? Our recipe is proprietary. We can't give away all our secrets now can we? :-) I did share a test recipe on our four Bramble Berry Seascape Collection Series videos.
Where do you buy your oils? We purchase our oils in bulk at Soapers Choice.
Where did you buy your molds? My husband builds all my wood molds. My silicone molds are from various suppliers.
Where did you buy your soap planer? My husband built the soap planer for me.
Where did you buy your soap cutter? We purchased our soap cutter at Bud’s Woodshop.
Where did you buy your soap loaf splitter? Our loaf splitter was purchased from Smith Creek Studio.
Where do you buy your soaping containers? My pitchers are from School Masters and my large plastic containers are from Webstaurant Store.
Where do you buy your fragrance oils? We purchase our oils from many different suppliers. We don’t have a one-stop-shop for all of our oils. We blend the majority of the fragrances we work with.
Where do you buy your colors? We buy our colors at Bramble Berry and Nurture Soap.
Where do you buy your coconut milk? I was buying So Delicious Organic Coconut Milk on Amazon but I think you all bought them out! Ha! I now buy Native Forest Organic Coconut Milk. Please don't buy them out. I need coconut milk. lol
Where do you buy your packaging materials? We buy our packaging materials at various suppliers including Paper Mart, ULine, Nashville Wraps, and Amazon.
Why don’t you provide exact links for supplies? I think providing where I purchased something is good enough. I encourage you to research. We have the internet at our finger tips…use it! Maybe that’s the mom in me, encouraging you to be self-sufficient. Plus, links change and then the information is no longer valid.
Do you give classes? No, I do not offer classes. However, if you need help, leave me a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
