Soaping it up in the Slip!

I'm so thrilled that my Coffee Cake Soap Cake is for sale at the Urban Farmhouse Market and Cafe in Shockoe Bottom, Richmond, now! Made with their coffee grounds, this soap is divine! It smells so good and the grounds give it just enough exfoliation!



The Urban Farmhouse is really into supporting local products. Inside there's a vast array of all sorts of items from Virginia made granola bars to dog treats and beyond! If you're looking for a unique goodie or gift, you'll find it here!

And, guess what...they created a special soap display at the front door and my cake is right there when you walk in! I'm so honored! Check it out!



Oh, and I just love the sign they made for the display...



The goal with the special display is to promote all of the handmade bath products they carry!



I can't wait to see how the sales go! They've already ordered two more cakes, so the Midlothian Cafe will have one too! Wow! Be sure to stop by and check it out if you're in the area.

All sliced up...

I was so excited to finally slice the coffee cake soap! Dynamo was kind enough to help me cut it. That way I'm sure to get 15 slices!

Cutting the soap is always to most exciting part. That's where the beauty is revealed!

I like the contrasting shades of brown along with the added black layer. That's the activated charcoal layer!

Most of the time I'm pleased with my swirling and layering! Especially this soap cake!

Talk about beautiful! Looks good enough to eat huh? I can't wait to deliver this to the Urban Farmhouse! You'll have to stop by and grab a slice!

Cock a doodle doo!!

I'm super excited about a recent order! The Urban Farmhouse Market and Cafe in Richmond asked me to make a coffee soap cake for their shop using their coffee blend!

Talk about excited and honored!!! WOW! They want to "serve" my soap cake by the slice to their customers! What a great conversation piece! So, as soon as we got back from vacation I got to work on the cake! It's complete, but needs to be cut! I just wanted to give you a sneak peak before cutting!



I'll post pics once we slice it, but until then close your eyes and pretend you can smell it! It really is a lovely fragrance that's not over the top coffee smelling!

In the process of making this cake, it gave me an idea to make some coffee soap for The Daily Scrub customers!



As an experiment I made a few bars with coffee grounds! The grounds are excellent exfoliators!

I added activated charcoal to the bars and the cake as the middle layer. Remember, activated charcoal is known for removing impurities in the skin.

This bar is so creamy and yummy! I can't wait for it to be ready!

Even if you're not a coffee lover, I can guarantee you'll love this bar!

So, stay tuned. We'll be cutting the cake soon and I can't wait to see the lovely pattern inside!

And, many thanks to my friend, Lisa, for getting me connected with The Urban Farmhouse!

Have a great day!
