One of my resolutions for this year is to get more efficient in my soapmaking. I always feel so bad when I run out of stock, especially on customer favorites. So I’ve ordered some more molds and I’ve started pouring twice as much soap at a time as I used to. This way I use the same amount of time in production, but end up with twice as much product. I tried this out recently with a batch of Yuzu soap.
And then again with some Chocolate Espresso. I felt SO clever. And since I have four of these molds, I could even double that and make months-worth of soap in one day. Sweet. Now I just need a faster way of cutting all that soap into bars. Hmm.

I was wondering where you got your molds and what are using inside the wood mold? Thanks.
Amber, those are silicone-lined molds. Several companies make them but I got mine from Upland Soap Factory. Logs come out smooooth! 🙂
Thanks Ruth. Your soaps are truly BEAUTIFUL! I’m just learning myself and am in “soap making research” coma right now. I’ve been reading for the last several days, minus a couple hours sleep a night.
Uh oh, sounds like you’re hooked! LOL
