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
