- 2 tablespoons liquid vegetable glycerin (Find it on Amazon)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Hand or Stand mixerÂ
- Reusable piping bag (Find it on Amazon)
- Large frosting tip (Find it on Amazon)
- 1/4 pounds of clear suspension soap, cut into cubes, divided (each cube is approx. 1 ounce) (Find it here on Amazon)

*Suspension soap is a bit thicker when melted compared to regular melt and pour soaps. This allows glitter, jojoba beads, etc. to be suspended within the soap mixture as opposed to falling to the bottom as it will with regular melt and pour soaps. You do not have to use this soap if you don’t have it. Just double up on the regular melt and pour soap base.
This recipe will make approximately 7, 6-ounce bars with approximately 1.5 ounces of whipped soap per bar and 20 small soap balls.
Instructions For Bubblegum Loaf Soap:
Step 1:Â Cut 2 pounds (32 cubes) of the suspension soap base into squares and place into a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Heat for 30 seconds. Repeat, stirring after each, until melted.Â
Step 2: Add essential oil, colorant and glitter to the bowl/measuring cup. Â
Step 3: Spray the mold with the rubbing alcohol.
Step 4:Â Pour the pink soap into mold.Â
Step 5: Spray the top of the soap with the rubbing alcohol. This prevents bubbles from forming.Â
Step 6: Allow to harden at least 3-4 hours. To test if the soap is ready for the next pout, blow on it. If you see ripples, it is not ready. Do not use your fingers to test it or you will leave divots in the soap if it isn’t completely hardened. Â
Instructions For Bubblegum Whipped “Frosting†Soap:
Step 1: In a large microwave container, add 8-10 cubes (each cube equals a little less than 1 ounce) of the goats milk soap base. Heat in 30 second bursts until soap is completely melted.
Step 2: Add in the whipped soap base and glycerin. Mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 1 minute. Mix on high until mixture begins to thicken and is light and fluffy, much like frosting.
Step 3: Melt and add in goats milk soap. Mix on low with a hand or stand mixer for 1 minute. Fold in half of the cornstarch. Mix on high for 1 minute. If the mixture is not beginning to form stiff peaks like a meringue, add more cornstarch, 1 teaspoon at a time until it does.Â
Step 4: Add frosting to your piping bag.Â
Step: 5: Pipe the frosting onto your bubblegum soap. Allow soap to dry until it becomes stiff, which is between 3-4 hours. Once hardened, cut soap evenly into 7 pieces.
Instructions For Bubblegum Soap Balls:
Step 1:Â Add 1/4 pound of the melt and pour soap to a measuring cup. Melt in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring and repeating until completely melted. Evenly divide into 3 measuring cups.
Step 2: Add 1-2 drops of 1st color to one measuring cup. Pour into small ball mold.Â
Step 3: Allow to dry for about an hour. Gently pop them out of the mold.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 & 3 for the other 2 colors. Place gumballs into the soap frosting.
