Rose milk soap

I believe many women like roses. I do too. I like the smell of the roses and that's why I thought I would add some rosy flavor into the soap. Shower can be romantic in this case, isn't it?!

One special thing about the soap is I used the rose infused olive oil. The oil, however, does not smell really rosy. But the essence of the roses are released into the oil, and this makes the skin soothing and softening.

Like the honey oatmeal soap, I used milk in the rose soap. Milky soap makes the skin moist. I also made some design in this soap by using the red clay powder to create the marble patterns. This rose milk soap look nice, smell nice and will treat your skin nice.

Ingredients:

coconut oil, olive oil (rose infused), palm oil, avocado oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, red clay powder, fragrance oil (rose), milk, and lye

Honey oatmeal milk soap

In this soap, instead of using water I used milk to dissolve to lye. And that's simply because milky soap has the function to protect the skin from being dry. Honey has the same function as well. Also, I added some ground oatmeal so that by using this soap, the skin would be exfoliated gently.

The smell of the lavender and lemon grass essential oil go well with soap too. I'd recommend this honey oatmeal soap to people have drier skin. It will keep your skin moist.

Ingredients: 


coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, caster oil, canola oil, rice barn oil, sunflower oil, honey, oatmeal, essential oil (lavender and lemon grass), lye, and milk

Columbus Farmer's Market

Phew.....I have not updated the website for a while and June is a busy month for me.

We were at the Columbus Farmer's Market selling cake, muffins, and hand-made soap on June 9 and we sold out all the baked food and most of our soaps. We had a great time meeting people too.

As a part-time vendor at the Columbus Farmer's Market, we will be back on June 23 and one more week in August. Please stop by our booth and see the beautiful soaps and yummy food. Send me an e-mail if you have questions. We are looking forward to seeing you! Thank you! :-D

Costumized: Breast milk soap

We all know how wonderful the breast milk is. Breast milk is nutritious and it helps improve the immune system of the baby. Mothers are encourage to breastfeed their kids if possible. However, what can you do with the extra breast milk?! Of course you can throw it, but you would feel it's a waste. Then how about using the breast milk into the soap?!

Breast milk soaps are getting lots of attentions and popularity in Asia as the soap is gentle for both parents and the babies. Even newborns, whose skins are more sensitive, can use the breast milk soaps. No essential oil or fragrant oil is added in the breast milk soap because babies will  be using the soaps. Some herbs powder  may be added and it's based on the request.

One more important thing, breast milk is personal not commercial. Using the soaps that are made from other mom's  breast milk is not wise. I do carefully handle the soaps and clearly make soaps with dates and other information. Please do not worry.

Last but not least, I'd like to thank my dear frien,who delivered a cute girl last September, for giving me her breast milk (waving HI to Yu-Ying). In her breast milk soaps, I added some Chinese herb powder, which has the function of calming the kids.

Ingredients:

coconut oil, olive oil, palm oil, castor oil, canola oil, rice barn oil, sunflower oil, Chinese herb powder, breast milk, and lye

Chocolate chiffon cake: $20.0 per cake (8 inch)

One of my friends ordered a cake for his son's birthday from me. I believe kids all love chocolate so I made this chocolate chiffon cake with strawberries in between. Small chocolate pieces are made and pasted on the surface of the cake too. Happy Birthday Samuel! :-D

Ingredients:

Cake flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, milk, oil, lemon juice, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and strawberries

Japanese cheesecake:$16.0 per cake (8 inch)

Everyone knows how good cheese cake is and people hardly say no to the yummy cheesecake. But this cheesecake is slightly different from the cheesecake you can have in the U.S. I'd say this is a more Asian style of cheesecake, as you can tell from the name. It's lighter, creamier, and softer. It's more like a sponge texture cheesecake. The cheesecake melts in your mouth and it is so good that you want to eat the more.

I added lemon zests in the cake in order to have a refreshing touch.  Even though no sauce or no other ingredients is added, this simple cake is irresistible.

Ingredients:

Cake flour, rice flour, eggs, milk, cream cheese, sugar, salt, unsalted butter, lemon juice, and lemon zest

Mancha red bean cake roll: $13.0 per roll (approx 10*4*2 inch)

Mancha is the Japanese green tea and I LOVE MANCHA!!! It's the best friend with red bean! And this time, I have a cake roll with both ingredients and they were dancing in my mouth!!

The soft mancha cake sponge along with the creamy whipped cream and great amount of red bean taste so good! I feel I can eat more than one slice at a time.

Ingredients:

Cake flour, rice flour, eggs, milk, oil, sugar,salt, lemon juice, mancha powder, red beans, and whipped cream
