Amateur Soapmaker Attempts a VIRAL 60-YEAR-OLD TREND…

As someone who makes homemade cold-processed soap with a bit of a curious twitch, I'm always on the lookout for new and innovative techniques for enhancing my soapmaking projects. Something I've seen a ton of bakers do is create lovely shag rug cakes using a special "grass" piping tip for their buttercream. Well, I went online and bought the LARGEST grass piping tip I could find because I want to create the world's first shag rug soap! It's groovy, it's 60s, it's pretty, and confusing, all the same. However, that doesn't mean I didn't hit a few road bumps along the way. I get most of my soap supplies from Voyageur Soap and Candle, which is a soap and candle supply shop based in Vancouver.
