** I am not wearing gloves in this video, my husband used my last pair and I didn’t realize it until I had already combined my oils and lye solution. I live far from any stores, so a quick jaunt into town to buy more wasn’t an option. Always use proper safety measures.
I clicked on this video because these soaps are gorgeous! I love the colors and the little sprinkle of gold. Beautiful!
Lena Maire thank you, that means so much!
Wow. You are a true artisan. Thank you for sharing.
Unreal. These are the most beautiful soaps. I love what you have done. Thank you for sharing!
JMB thank you so much for watching!
Beautifully done! ❤😊❤
This is the most unique design I've seen in a long time.....Just Beautiful....
BUBBLESANDBATH thank you so much!
Wowser!!! Those are phenomenal!! I love the way you filled your individual cavity molds. I will have to try doing the same thing and then scraping the excess off. Sometimes no amount of banging will make the soap go into each cavity completely. This is genius!! Love watching your videos.
Kelli Spears watching chocolate making videos gave me that idea haha! If my fragrance hadn’t accelerated so bad it would have been fine, but I knew I was going to get air pockets, and I needed them as smooth as I could get lol.
Very cool! You can always make soap balls from the excess “glaze”. Very awesome, thanks for sharing!
3PairDesigns oooh good idea! They’d probably work well as planet embeds too. I’ve never made a galaxy soap, but now I know what’s going on my list lol. Thank you for watching, and for the awesome idea!
Wow! Just Wow! Have never seen this technique before. Thank you for sharing
Wow this was amazing to watch I can't wait to try this and I'm really appreciative of how you show those two colors and the companies are there from thank you so much great job
lenna Pelayo thank you so much for watching!
These are exquisite works of art! Absolutely beautiful, I'd be torn between wanting to keep them like this or using them....💞
christelisland thank you! I’ll probably end up saving one for myself just to look at lol!
Very nicely done! I've been toying with this idea, thank you so much for showing it can be done. Big thumbs up from one soapy creator to another! :)Jen
Jen Spice thank you for checking it out! I’ve been wanting to try this for a while too lol, now that I have I have a few things I want to tweak for next time
Beautiful technique and such a lovely color palette you chose. 💗 Thanks for posting.
Sherri Attaway thank you for watching! ❤️
Wow wow wow thank you so much for sharing your video. I can't tell how much you have motivated me to try this technique. I was actually thinking of selling all my supplies but after seeing how you worked on the soap when it started started to thinking Nd what you did at the end all I can say is wow again.
noemi carrion that makes me so happy! I hope you give this a try, and I’d love to see it! I think we get in a rut sometimes, I’m the type that needs to feel inspired to create, and sometimes it’s hard to find that inspiration.
Absolutely brilliant idea 😍the finished soaps look so gorgeous and elegant ❤️thank you so much for sharing your technique you are so very kind

This is so exciting!!! A new (to me) technique to try!!! Yours looks incredible!!! WOW!!
Ela Avar thank you! I would love to see what you make!
Love this! I'm a fluid art gal who also makes bath bombs. Id love to learn how to make soap and I'm thinking this and the dirty pour method will be the way I go. I could watch these mirror pours all day. Great job!

fiona simpson thank you for watching!
Fantastic! I bet the inside side view looks amazing too.
Only In Ur Mind Creative Soaps it would have looked better inside had my swirl worked out the way I wanted lol! I plan to try it again with a different fragrance so I can get a swirl instead of layering
Oh this is absolutely perfect, beautiful, stunning... I will give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 🙏
Miss Kraftie Soap thank you so much for watching! I hope you try it out!

Greetings from Switzerland, Maria
Maria Multicolor-Amber thank you for watching! I’d love to see what you create!
I really was astonished by your model
These look so elegant 💕
Koala Soap thank you! I’m going on vacation tomorrow, but when I get back I plan to try this in some fall fragrances!
Gorgeous I love it! I have seen this done with chocolate and was wondering if it would work on soap. Just beautiful
Sin City Soap and Candles thank you! That’s part of what made me try this lol! That and I’m almost addicted to watching cake glazing videos on Instagram lol
Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors you chose and as always I wish Smell-O-Vision was a real thing! I just finished reading through your tutorial. I will be attempting this soon. Thanks so much!!
WOW, that's like frosting a petit four. Love the result. Saw you on Facebook, just found you here. I'm glad. TFS
Renee Cormalis- Soaps For Love it is lol! I hadn’t thought about petite fours! But now I want to try this on some square ones haha. Thank you so much for watching!!
Ideas just keep flowing in my brains. You you see soap in everything? LOL
I see soap in almost every pastry video haha!
Thank you for sharing! I love to see ideas and always want to try something new.... but I’m so busy with restocks that I never know when that moment will hit me to try this. I’ll definitely give you a shout out if I do❤️
Deborah Tuzon thank you for watching, yes please do! I’d love to see what you make if/when you find time to try it! I’m excited to see what everyone does with this technique!
Will do! Liked your IG and encouraged others to check your video.
I have never seen his done before. Perfect!
Terrific techniques and color combination, did you add any fragrance?
I did! For the “cakes” I used Bamboo from Wholesale Supplies Plus, it riced and accelerated so much that I knew it wouldn’t work for the “glaze”, so I switched to Bamboo Lotus from WSP for that part. They’re similar enough that they blend very well together. I’m lucky I had it on hand lol!
These soaps look do nice, I will definetly try this at home!! Thank you so much for sharing, and I whoe to see more of your content!
Husbands are always taking gloves! Mine takes mine all the time
pretty soaps
Wow! Awesome Mirror Glaze Technique! Thank you!
Gorgeous! I’m new to soap making but that’s a technique to try in the future! 😍
Who else is thrilled by the music than even the soap itself? Good work, fantastic environment!
Very cool and very beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful!👍😊
Cool technique. Thank you for sharing
Donna Hinds thank you for watching!
Love your video, though it's not for me to attempt in the near future.
Gosh, some comments can be so harsh, why don't they post their own perfect videos.
Wow That is amazing how did you get them to come off the tray so clean on the bottom
Debi Aviles thank you! I have each “cake” resting on a plastic condiment cup so that it’s raised up above the tray!
Wow, fabulous. What do you do with the soap that is spilled over?
NashipurSinha I left it until the next day when the soap “cakes” were firm enough to move. It was still pliable so I bundled it up and placed it into a plastic baggie. It’ll stay soft as long as the baggie is sealed, and I can use it as soap dough for a future project.
Lmao, my first thought was "oh no, she's not wearing gloves" and then you captioned that. That's okay, I made soap once with sunglasses on and didn't realize it til I was almost through???
lmao the things busy soapers do!
Gorgeous!
Laurel White thank you! ❤️
Love this technique - thanks for sharing.
What app do you use for your videos? It is so good to actually SEE the comments.
Happy & Healthy Living with ALO Wellness thank you so much for watching! I use iMovie to edit and add comments. It’s pretty handy! I just downloaded a new app so that I can film with my phone up and down instead of sideways, but I’m thinking I prefer the way I’ve been doing it lol.
Love the video Thank you so much.
Beautiful Job!!!!!! So So pretty!!!!!!! :)))
Carol Jean thank you so much!
That is so cool!
Marcia Blais thank you!
Beautiful! Is it just me or did anyone else wonder what the under side looked like, too? :)
Noel Youngblood lol I’ve had other people ask that too! I plan to take photos of the underside and of one cut through the middle so you can see the interior!
Amazing! I was wondering how much actual soap did you prepare to make this? It is Beautiful btw!
Scarlett Moon the “cakes” were my small batch size using 51 oz of soap batter, and I made the same size batch for the glaze since this was my first time trying it and I wasn’t sure how much I would need lol. I really could have used 1/3 of that for the glaze and had plenty. I saved my excess though, so it didn’t go to waste!
Omg nice technique.....I have a question if you dont mind. Is your second batch of soap batter, the same recipe as the first?
Line Heuston-Hanley it is! I used the same size batch, but really I could have halved the size at least. My fragrance caused my first batch to accelerate, which definitely wasn’t the plan lol, so I switched to a different fragrance that I felt blended well with my original choice.
Very nice
TG C thank you for watching!
Increíble, algo diferente, que hermoso se ve
Good
wonderful work. thank you for sharing. where can I get the Mica powder?
Ron Bar thank you for watching! I get most of my micas from Mad Micas, Brambleberry, Wholesale Supplies Plus, and Nurture Soap Supply.
I have a question about safety. Is it the lye that makes it necessary to use gloves and goggles? Does mixing it with the other ingredients change the chemical properties and render the soap safe to use?
Yes, it’s the lye. By its self it’s very caustic, and can cause chemical burns. Mixing it with the oils causes a reaction called “saponification,” where the oils and lye react to make soap. Most soapers calculate their recipes so that they have extra oils, which is called a super fat.
I’ll add that saponification can take up to three days to finish, but after that the soap is usable. Most soapers let their soaps cute for a minimum of 4 weeks because the longer the cure, the harder the bar of soap, so the longer they last

Beautiful indeed but there seemed to be a lot of wast?
With this first batch there was. I wasn’t sure quite how much glaze I needed so I overestimated. Although, nothing went to waste as I saved the overflow to roll into balls for a separate batch.
Bellissimi, e tu sei molto brava, sicura e precisa
Avery, I noticed you micas are liquid when you pour them, how did you prepare them to be able to do that?
I really enjoyed you video. Great ideas! Thank you.
Ronda Jones I mix them with a little bit of oil, usually sunflower oil so that it incorporates easier. It seems if I add them straight to my batch dry I either have to stick blend to get them really incorporated or I have little splotches in the final product. Thank you so much for watching!
Really Beautiful
Roberta Easter thank you! ❤️
beautiful soaps but i have a question. why is it called Mirror Glaze?
It’s called mirror glaze because it’s a technique used in pastry making. The difference being with pastry/cakes the glaze includes gelatin which gives the cake a mirror like shine. Same technique, different mediums.
@@averygreysoapery6476 ok got it thank you for the info now i am that much smarter lol
Bella técnica!!
Can you do anything with the excess that drips on the cookie sheet
I did try this didn't leave the glaze I was hoping for once they cured, could it possibly work using a clear mp over the top?
Leonie Williams I went back and steamed them to help with the shininess, but I think a thin layer of clear mp could really help boost the shine. You’d just want to make sure the cp is completely cured so it doesn’t try to separate from the mp, and take into account humidity and all that. I’m in Louisiana and even low sweat mp can sweat badly down here lol.
Wow, that was a wonderful video. I have one question though. Were your soaps propped on anything when you were pouring? And if so, what? Ok so it was 2 questions lol. Thank you for posting this!
Misty Oaks Soaps thank you for watching it! I did elevate them, I used plastic condiment cups. I didn’t want anything too tall, because if I needed to move the tray I was afraid they’d fall over lol. The condiment cups were the perfect size to fit under the soaps, small enough they all fit, but big enough to be stable.
@@averygreysoapery6476 awesome! Thanks for the info!
Soooo purrrrty. Oooweee. TY. 🖤👏
Is it harmful to make soap without gloves? Perhaps because of the lye??
Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner!
Yes, lye can burn skin and even when it’s mixed with the oils it can still cause a bad chemical burn until the saponification process is complete which can take up to 3 days. It’s always best to wear gloves and eye protection to make sure you don’t get any accidental splashes.
Thanks for sharing! How do you keep it shiny? My cp usually looks matte. No one is sharing that tip for making a mirror glaze soap. Please help!
Sharon White most of the time mine is fairly matte, but you can bring out the shine by steaming, rinsing, or dunking your soap. Ravensong soap on instagram has a few short videos showing how they rinse their soaps under running water while in the mold. I believe it’s Sorcery Soap that dunks hers in a bowl of water then leaves them to dry. Many people steam using their regular iron or a clothing steamer. Just hold your iron at least 3 inches or so away and make several passes over your soaps. Allow them to dry completely before you flip them over to steam the other side.
Avery Grey Soapery, thank you. Bought a brand new travel steamer at flea market for $2.00 last weekend.
Sharon White I really need to get one of those! I think it would be much easier than an iron lol.
Love this technique. BTW, WM sells a travel steamer for less than $10.
ooo I've done that (realized I wasn't wearing gloves)
Sherry Gros I usually have a pretty good stash, but my husband grabbed my last pair! I usually catch myself when I’ve started to mix my lye water and oils lol
So pretty! Where is the round silicone mold from? Been looking for something that shape and don’t know what to call it.
GypsyFae Creations it’s from Brambleberry! If I remember right, it’s the 12 cavity round silicone mold.
What do the under-sides of the soaps look like?
The underside has a thin rim of green on the outside, and then the center is solid white. I originally intended to make the “cakes” swirled so the bottom would be interesting than plain white, but my fragrance accelerating derailed that plan lol. If you check the blog post on my website I have a photo of the underside right before I trimmed the drips off.
Lovely 😍😍😍
mariomar omar thank you!
the whole time i was watching to see if the blender was gonna fall off the table haha
mskittykat1101 stick around long enough and you’ll see just how clumsy I usually am 😂. Honestly I’m surprised I didn’t bump into it lol!
beautiful
Could you please add what ingredients you're using?
There is a link in the description to her blog which gives ingredients and instructions.
can you retell the materials are used to make a soap? thank you
If you check the website linked in the description I give a list of the ingredients used and the amounts.
How many ounces of soap did you make for the glaze?
I used 51 oz for the glaze, which is the same as my batch size for the “cake” portion. I wanted to leave myself plenty of glaze in case of error lol, but I could have halved that amount and still had plenty. I poured my unused portion of glaze into my round 12 cavity mold and had 4 cavities fully filled and one cavity halfway filled.
Very beautiful. Now make a video on how to clean the mess. 😂
I fully admit I just balled all the excess up in the plastic wrap and threw it in a ziplock bag 😂
Avery Grey Soapery good to know. My daughter asked me so I commented.
Thank you for reply.
Don't u think this mix is very thick
nice
Not a criticism. Your soap is lovely. I'm just wondering why you wouldn't just do the in the pot swirl directly in the mould for the whole soap instead of doing it as an extra step? I'm sure there is a reason and I'm just curious. Yes, I know I'm being very apologetic asking this but I know there's so much hate on RUclips that I am careful not to sound like I'm being critical!
Kelley Spartiatis you are totally fine asking! I’m usually the same way lol. This was more of a “can I?” type project. Can I do a method only done in cake making? Also, I have more control over the pattern the “glaze” makes this way. I originally intended the interior “cake” to be an in the pot swirl, so that as the outer layer wore away there would be a pretty interior, but my fragrance riced and accelerated to the point it wasn’t possible lol. I’ll be taking photos of one of the cakes that I cut through the middle either today or tomorrow and posting on my Instagram to show the interior and you’ll see what I mean.
@@averygreysoapery6476 what's your instagram name. I love seeing other people's soap. I'm making zombie eyeball soaps today for Halloween. I'm very late!
Kelley Spartiatis I’m not even going to get Halloween soaps made 😂, I procrastinated too long lol. You can find me under @averygreysoapery on insta! Zombie eyeball soaps sound so cool!
@@averygreysoapery6476 I will follow you. Wouldn't you bother using melt and pour? I made some spider soap in clear melt and pour. Yeah, I know it's not really soap but I have made translucent soap only once. It turned out lovely but it cost a fortune!
Kelley Spartiatis I’d love to make translucent soap, but I’m afraid it would cost too much lol! Actually euphoria soapworks did a version of this where she used M&P to glaze her CP cakes. It was super cute! Sorcery Soap uses a very thin layer of M&P sometimes to seal her soap cookies, I’ve thought about trying that to give it a shinier look, more of a true mirror glaze.
😍👍
cool, they look like matcha macarons :)

Beutiful
You didn't give any measurements.. Didn't say all what you were pouring in the batch. Would have been nice to have talked...told us your measurements and all the oils...i see mixing...pouring...just saying
Thanks for getting back to me! This helps me for future videos! This video was just to show the technique, and to be a companion to the written tutorial where I give the recipe, ingredients, and step by step how to. I wanted to help those that are more visual learners, since it can be hard to get what someone means just from writing. I think I have the link to the written tutorial in the description of the video, but I’m going to double check to make sure.
The music drives me nuts! I thought the video was for adults. I was disappointed not to see Mr Tumble!
Evian I haven’t the slightest idea who Mr Tumble is, but you’re welcome to lower your volume so you don’t hear any music.
People complain when I have no music, people complain when I have it, people complain when I talk through the videos, people complain when I don’t. In short, people complain no matter what and I’m not going to appeal to everyone. And that’s perfectly ok. I don’t have to. My value isn’t based on the comment of a stranger on the internet who doesn’t know me.
And just so your ears aren’t assaulted in future videos, most of them will have music at least during part of the video. Have a wonderful day!
Hi, how can i find on facebook?
