Melt & Pour Soap Making: Valentine Cupcake Soaps
Cupcake Soap Mold Questions
Soap molds.?
I am getting ready to make soap for the first time. I am wanting to use muffin pans for molds. Can I use the paper cupcake liners in them, to make them come out easier. Will the soap stick to the paper? What about reusing the pans for baking later?
I wouldn’t use a metal muffin pan for molds, especially if it’s cold process soap as you CANNOT use metal with this type of soap making because of the lye. Not only will it eat up your pan, it will discolor the soap. Melt and pour might be okay, but don’t chance it. Use silicone, plastic, glass, etc.
If you use melt and pour base, you can reuse your mold. If making cold process, you cannot reuse it except for more soap making, you can’t use it in your kitchen, again because of the lye. The soaponification process causes the mixture to get so hot it can embed into your molds.
If using melt and pour, use a candy mold, cut the bottom off of a 16 or 20 oz. soda bottle and use it (they make cute flower shape bars of soap), small size gladware containers, a paper drinking cup that’s coated with wax, anything like this. You can even use an ice cube tray if you want.
Don’t use your muffin liners, you’ll have a mess on your hands. The soap will definately stick!!
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
