One hundred bars of soap, ready for packing. Wedding favours, with a custom scent. Had so much fun with this order.

What is the scent?

Custom scent I blended. A little cucumber, a little lemongrass, a little lavender.

Could you give me some tips? I'm about to start making soap for my wedding favors.
I'll be using melt and pour soap, as that's what I'm familiar with and don't feel comfortable trying out cold process for the first time for my wedding favors.
I'm really hoping for tips on molds and cutting them the same size.

I can't really help with melt and pour. Have you seen the individual bar moulds? I wonder if those would work best.

I have a set of 3 plastic bar molds. Personally I prefer to use silicone baking molds as it's easier to remove the soap once it's hardened.
I was considering getting a few long loaf molds and cutting it down. I have to make about 200 bars of soap and figured doing it that way would be the quicker (and cheaper) option.
I have several months until my wedding, so I planned on doing a few pounds every other weekend between now and then.

You can pick up silicone bar moulds on eBay too, they're pretty good. Just make sure they're not tiny sized.

Thanks for the tip! I'll look them up.

Brambleberry has a nice silicone six cavity heart mold.

They look lovely! I give every bride in my family a gift of soaps. They have been used for bridal showers, wedding favors, and now baby showers. So lovely to receive nice hand crafted soap.

Dang that's super consistent! What mold and or cutting method are you using?
It's a silicone lined wooden mould from Nurture Soap, and a standard wire multi cutter. The cutter is the best.
