Today I am going to be making a spring
theme soapy project. I'm actually going to
make soapy cupcakes using these Russian
piping tips! I have had these in my
drawers for a few months now and I have
actually been a little scared to use
them because these are used to make
flowers when you pipe real frosting with them
and sometimes soap just isn't
cooperating that much and sometimes the
openings on these piping tips is very
narrow and I am scared that it will jam
and won't work, but I'm going to give it
a shout and I'm gonna take you along
this journey with me! Hopefully I will
succeed and this will make a great video!

I got my oils slowly melting in the
background and I'm going to go ahead and
put my goggles on because I'm going to
measure my lie and soap making
require safety!
Baking cups are ready and aligned.
For the base of my cupcakes i am using a
fragrance oil called "blooms and berries".
It smells really flowery but it's not too
heavy because there are fruit notes
underneath and also I choose this
fragrance oil for the base of my
cupcakes because i do want the cupcake
to smell like flowers because i'm going
to pipe flowers on top, but since this is
a discoloring and a slightly
accelerating fragrance oil i'm going to
keep it for the base. Now even with a
slight discoloration to tan as mentioned
on the label, I don't really mind because
edible muffin are usually a tan
color. It will be okay and then I will
choose a different fragrance oil for my
frosting that will be non discoloring
and non accelerating. I have quite a few
piping bags for this project! First I
have the one for my leaves and then I
have one with a just a round opening
because I'm gonna pipe under the flowers
and then I have my two Russian piping
tips placed inside a juice pitcher in a
bag so everything holds up on its own
and it's very easy for me to just put
the frosting in there whenever I need to.
I have all my colorants prepared this is
white made with titanium dioxide I have
a blend of two different colorings in
here mica and a neon powder and same
goes for here: this is a combination of
neon powder and pink vibrance mica.
The base of my cupcakes is firm enough so
that I that I can now pipe some frosting
on top. I will try to film whatever I can
of the making of the frosting but I
think this is where things could go a
little crazy! Okay so bear with me here,
let's go!
A little whoopsy here!
These Russian piping tips are definitely
a challenge with cold processed soaps. If
I ever attempt to use these again and
I'm sure I will I think I will stick to
one color per project. As you can see I
was a little excited at piping the pink
flowers first and I kind of forgot that
I had a second color I wanted to make
flowers with, so that kind of threw me a
little bit off-course. I'm gonna try to
fix it... Here I am gonna be piping
some little green leafs to try and make
these flower cupcakes look a little better!
I am going to apply the light yellow
soap frosting around the piping bag
leaving a void inside to add the darker
yellow. Hopefully this will show when I
pipe the flowers on the cupcakes.
I will put little flowers around and cover
ok everything i do is not a work of art
let's face it! For some odd reason some
flowers are working and some aren't!
I definitely did make a mess here I hope
you still enjoyed watching this video
even though it was not perfect. Russian
piping tips aren't easy to use .
I will try them again but I will change a
couple things and i'll show you next
time if it's better. I actually thought
of not making this video but I thought
you deserve to see it until the end so
there it is there it is and I have odd
shapes in all this but some of them will
go to my kids and others i will put on
sale! Here are two of the prettiest of
the batch from the soapy cupcakes made
with the Russian piping tips I made
yesterday I will proceed to unmolding
them and I think some of them I'll be
actually able to sell because they
turned out not so bad but some of them
are really weird looking! let's take a
closer look!
