Icing Colour Chart

I came across this 'Icing Colour Chart' on Pinterest and had to share it with you. 

The original chart was posted on Anne and Blue Paperie blog.

The colours are amazing and i am dying to try out some of these colours.  The colours are made up of standard yellow, red, blue and green food colourings. 

Has anyone tried this chart?

Breakfast at the Blue Legume

One of my favourite places to have breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning is at the 'Blue Legume' on Stoke Newington Church Street, London.  When I'm in one of my more healthier moods i like to go for the fruit platter with 3 waffle biscuits, greek yogurt and maple syrup....YUM !!

My Custom Stamp

This is the stamp that i am using to print onto my muslin bags.

The stamp was custom made by  Love to Create Stamps on Etsy

Soap Samples

I have started to make little bundles of soap samples, each bundle contains 6 soaps and are tied with white/red bakers twine

Pink Salt Soap

I have tonnes of pink himalayan salt in stock and thought i would make a floral soap topped with it.

This is a cocoa butter based recipe, pink clay has been swirled through the soap to give it a feminine appearance.  Essential oils of ylang ylang, bergamot and grapefruit were added.  The essential oil combination made the mixture seize slightly so i had to quickly pour the mixture into the mould. Lastly the soap was sprinkles with a genourous amount of pink hymalyan salt.

Goats Milk, Oat & Lavender Soap

One of my favourites 'Goats Milk, Oat & Lavender'

Goats milk is super nourishing for skin and creamy.....i just cant seem to get enough of it :)

Cinnamon & Vanilla Soap

On one of those days where i was fantasising about cinnamon pretzels from Brent Cross shopping centre, I decided to make Cinnamon & Vanilla Soap. 

I am addicted to anything sweet with cinnamon.....cinnamon pretzels, cinnamon whirls, cinnamon caramelised apples....so this soap was going to have that sweet sugary touch to it.

Cinnamon & Vanilla Soap is made using a cocoa butter recipe,  fine ground cinnamon is added which gives a nice warm brown colour, cinnamon and vanilla essential oils are added to give that warm cinnamon pretzel scent i love so much. I sprinkled raw brown sugar on top....a bit too much i think, some of it caramelised but most of it is still nice and whole.

Cinnamon & vanilla soap is fully cured and is listed in my Folksy shop.
