Lesley Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I made these today - had a bit of a problem with the 'cake topping' which is solid shampoo so they're all a bit different, they're being individually wrapped so it won't be a problem. Vanilla Bath Bomb 'cake' with shampoo 'icing'......... I used the s"Ooops, word censored!"s of shampoo to make Lavender Bath Truffles..... I made some for the little boys in the family as well - green bomb, green glitter, plastic soldiers embedded in the bomb and grapefruit fragrance......I don't know what they'll make of them!

Lesley Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Snowy - Jake loves bath bombs as well - he chose lime and grapefruit as the fragrances when we made some a couple of years ago. Here are the boys ones...... Sarah - I use the recipes (and ingredients and moulds) from The Soap Kitchen http://www.thesoapkitchen.co.uk. Bath bombs are really easy to make, just bicarb, citric acid colour and fragrance and then a spritz of water. Powder colour is better but I use my cake decorating colours. I used culinary vanilla as fragrance and a pale custard clour for the 'cake' The Soap Kitchen's recipe says to use the cupcake moulds but they were smaller than I wanted so I used tall muffin cases in my muffin tin and pressed the mixture down well, then I transferred the bombs to the pink cases. The recipe then uses opaque melt and pour soap which is whisked before topping the 'cakes'. I only had clear soap so I added some grated bar soap which is what caused me problems.....never again unless it is just a small amount I would use the opaque soap plus any colouring and just melt and pour over the 'cake' rather than whisk it. The flowers were melted solid shampoo - opaque is better than clear. I only had clear again so added a bit of the soap. It made them look like spotty flowers! I poured in onto an old baking sheet and used cake decorating cutters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 They are brilliant - love the boy bombs! Got me thinking what else you could put in them. I want to make some now - I love messing. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stehaggan Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 WOW they look amazing... I think some ingredients may need to be purchased now x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make some now - I love messing. Emma.x I wasn't too happy with soldiers but couldn't think what else to use. I never used to let my children or grandchildren have toy guns but soon came to realise that it makes not a bit of difference.....they'll use anything, sticks, fingers, toothbrush, kitchen roll middles. cucumbers, carrots....the broom........to be guns The only other thing that boys seem to be interested in is poo - perhaps I should have bought plastic dog poop instead Jake would happily settle for green and glittery - as long as he can lob it into the bath from a great height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 You could put plastic farm animals or dinosaurs in. Most boys like them. Or lego men! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 My lot are just a bit old for farm animals now - Lego would be good but they'd need to be small, I have the smaller size mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
