Now this one is a Winner!



I love this scent! It smells like lemon/tangerine sherbet. My cake decorating days may be paying off as I eyeballed the recipe and knew I would have a generous amount of batter, so had ready the ducky molds. It smelled so good, I almost licked the spoon.

My granddaughter is going to love the yellow duckies! Can't wait to cut into these tomorrow.

Tell Dan he better be ready!!

And,,,I named her Ellen!!! This year is the Year of Profit!! I really really like Ellen DeGeneres and she is profitable to boot!

And now for Dans information:
...it takes a week to 10 days for the real milk to come in. I will want to wait to milk her later and see how her bag fills in. She seemed pretty small last night but this morning she is quite tight and growing quickly. She is also a pretty sweet girl, so the milking will be easy. Anyway, a better photo of an adorable little girl!!

It's a ......


Now what to name her??


Day before the Blizzard!! and she surprised me...

Cinnamon Ylang Ylang Milk & Honey


Pretty big mouthful, but it actually looked like Butterscotch Pudding!! Beautiful Color and hope after completing the recipe then reading more on the instructions, it doesn't do the dreaded "separation". Read the warning after I had it in the pan about the number 1 rule....make sure it makes it to Full Trace before pouring into mold. Well, let's hope it did! Tomorrow will tell, after I cut it, it will hopefully not have a separation in the middle of the bar like a layer of honey in a comb. I went online and it showed photos of Botched results when this happens....sorta fascinating, but would not be quite useable.

smells a little funky...

perhaps the almond extract wasn't such a good idea?? Not sure if it will cure to a different smell or not, but just a little too...oh I don't know....artificial?? I will post the photos on the cutting, that will be fun! My coworkers will have to like it just in case one of my attempts really makes a really good soap, they will surely want a slice of that!
