Neapolitan Delights

I've talked about Neapolitan soap so many times, and I probably will keep on talking about it. It's one of my all-time favorite ice creams, and I just love how all the talented soap makers out there have interpreted this Italian import. Here are a few of my faves.

Ittttttt's Back!!! Well, Sorta.....

Remember a while back (last summer around this time to be exact) I made a little old soap called Neapolitan Shea Butter Soap? It was pretty successful. Tammy over at Milk and Cookeez loved it, and when I sold out of it, I told myself I was done. For some reason, I tend to have that attitude towards all my soaps. When they're sold out, I don't make another batch, I'll move on to something else. Orrrr, I'll reinvent the soap like I did the black raspberry & vanilla. Here's the latest version of the Neapolitan. Thee are a couple of notable changes. One, the shea butter's gone. I'm in a slight recession, lol. And two, there's a 4th layer-a yellow layer. This was a beautiful accident. I underestimated how much soap to cut for my layers, and when I was finished, I was left with a very stubby-looking soap. I needed some height so I added the yellow layer. I call this magnificence BANANAPOLITAN! Here are the scented layers: chocolate fudge, mango coconut, strawberries & cream, and banana kiwi. I l-0-v-e this soap! I'm sending a bar to a very nice customer named Stef whose order of the old neapolitan got lost in the mail. She's been such a good sport, that I'm going to surprise her with a bar.

This is a limited edition soap. I'm only listing it in my Etsy shop. When they're sold out, they're gone again til next summer!

Tammy's Soap Made A Treasury!

I call it Tammy's soap because she likes it so much. Anyway, My Neapolitan Shea Butter soap was featured in a neapolitan-themed treasury on Etsy. I need to make another batch of this. Check my ArtFire shop because I'm putting these on sale at a rock bottom price. It's still good soap, but I'm ready for a new version!

I Scream, You Scream.....

We all scream for......

NEAPOLITAN SHEA BUTTER SOAP!!!!

After days of doing nothing, I finally made some soap using the all natural Shea butter base I got from Wholesale Supplies Plus and made this fantabulous soap. I love it! It's not sickeningly sweet, but it smells distinctively of chocolate, strawberry, and....coconut??? Yep, I used coconut instead of vanilla. Also different is my technique. I tilted my loaf mold instead of doing a regular, straight pour. I really dig the way it turned out. I was nervous about my layers because pouring them must be timed properly. Pour them too hot, and you'll end up with one, big glob of un-layered soap. Pour them too cool and they might not stick-even when spraying alcohol between the layers (a must by the way for the layers to adhere.) Pick yours up today at my Etsy shop.
