Zacil was able to track down the original blog post that she learned this method from, so I have added the link to the original post (
How to Make Your Own Melt and Pour Soap) but will add it here too. The blog is in Russian, but the Google Chrome translator does a pretty good job of translating the post, and there is a wonderful picture tutorial on her blog post too. Thanks Zacil for tracking this down for us!

Also, I had wanted to try making the homemade melt and pour pliable, so that I could roll it, shape it and cut it, just like I do with my fondant when I am making decorations for cupcakes. I was able to add some glycerin and cornstarch to the homemade melt and pour soap base to get it to a fondant-like consistency. It's been sitting out a couple of days and is still soft and pliable. You can read more about it on my

Thanks for reading!
I just want to say that every time I look at this soap all I can think about is cookies... and I get hungry! They look yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI just haven't quite figured out how to use them yet. I thought they would have firmed up at some point, but they are still just as soft as when I made them!
DeleteI just want to eat them :)
DeleteI just wonder where they are going to finish!? Can't wait to see...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, I even can understand some! And it's also good to know that Zacil's modified recipe works too! I have some m&p base, but this is so tempting, I need to try it!
I hope you get a chance to try it Maja..if you do, please share your experience! :)
DeleteVery cool, Cee! The soap in front looks like a jelly roll cake. I love how adventurous you are with your soapy experiments!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, I was trying to make it look like jelly rolls, so I'm glad you can see that too! :)
DeleteI am always impressed with pastel colors you obtain in soaps. I see that M&P will be big playground for you and hardly wait to see your new soap designs using M&P embeds.
ReplyDeleteHi Gordana, yes, I am very excited to experiment more with the MP, I just haven't had time yet....but soon I hope!
DeleteWe know you'll come up with some brilliant way to make the jelly roll work in your favour Cee. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, the comments now are from from 2014. I was wondering if you ever did get a chance to use that homemade M&P Soap, and did you write up a blog about it? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Could you please share how much glycerin and corn starch you like to add? Will it last without a preservative?
