Here she is in her full glory! For my fellow soapers, she may look a little different than your typical tiger stripe technique. That is because I found (by accident) that using basically the same technique, but overlapping the stripes with a thicker batter yields a bar that looks more like authentic animal stripes. The pattern is a little more random, with slightly more organic lines.
I used a little white soap to swirl on top with the purple and peach. The fragrance is called "Peach Magnolia Raspberry"~ It's a very fresh fruity fragrance and it smells divine! I used this particular fragrance based on its reviews. I had never used it before, so I personally wasn't sure how it would behave, but I worked very nicely. I used this particular color combination simply because it fit with the fragrance and it was something I'd never used before!
I ultimately named this one TIGER MAMA! Mainly because tiger moms are bold and fierce, but so gentle with their young. Also, Mother's Day is coming up! I hope you liked my behind the scenes look at how I made this. Take a look at the Great Cakes Soapworks blog to see all the challenges I will be undertaking this month! I'm so excited for the next one... I've never done it before!
