Rachel Scholz's Lemon Marigold Soap Recipe
Lemon Marigold Soap by Rachel Scholz
Making this soap was an experience! I pulled out 3 of my trusty PVC pipe molds to make round soaps and covered the ends with plastic and duct tape. I poured in the soap and then decided to move the molds to another place. When I picked up the first one the bottom started sliding right off and the soap began pouring out! Luckily my wooden mold with dividers was nearby and I scooped up the soap and glopped it in. I don't recommend doing this with bare hands! What a mess! I poured in the rest of the soap from that mold and found that another one had the same problem. I poured in that one too. The third PVC mold was fine. So some of my soaps are rectangular and some are half-circles!
Enjoy,
Rachel Scholz
