Peach Cobbler Handmade (Goat Milk) Soap

Hello, beautiful soapy friends! 🍑✨ Today, I’m excited to introduce you to a new addition to our soap family: Peach Cobbler. Imagine the scent of juicy, ripe peaches mingling with a hint of warm spices, all wrapped up in a golden crust and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Yes, it’s as delicious as it sounds, and no, you can’t eat it (though you might be tempted)!

Now, let me share a little behind-the-scenes story about this creation. Initially, I had grand plans for this collection, envisioning soaps with vibrant, colorful embeds. Think along the lines of my versions of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" or "Candy Rocks". However, as any seasoned soap maker knows, the road to soapy perfection is paved with unexpected twists. Dessert fragrances, while heavenly, have a notorious reputation for turning soap brown due to the vanillin content. My love for intricate swirls was put to the test!

With only four days to get my Autumn soaps ready, I faced a soapy dilemma. The small batches I made for the colorful embeds were too soft to use as planned. So, in a moment of creative pivoting, I decided to roll with it—literally—and made soap balls instead of the cubes, shreds, and curls I originally envisioned. While it wasn’t what I planned, these soap balls turned out to be a delightful surprise, adding fun and interesting designs to the soap bars.

So, here we are with Peach Cobbler soap, a testament to the beauty of improvisation and the joy of unexpected outcomes. Each bar is a unique piece of art, bursting with the comforting aroma of a freshly baked peach cobbler. I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed making it. Stay tuned for more soapy adventures and remember, sometimes the best creations come from the most unexpected places!
