Learn how to make your seasonal pie soap for fall! Scent the pie filling with a pumpkin spice fragrance oil with a chocolate scented graham cracker crust, or use a blood orange essential oil for the pie filling for an alternately wonderful shower experience. These fall inspired pie soaps also make wonderful homemade gifts for the holidays too!
Yum! Doesn't it look good enough to eat?
In addition to the ingredients for this pie soap recipe, you'll also need a Cake Slice Silicone Soap Mold and a digital scale. I specifically used the Crafter’s Choice™ Cake Slice Silicone Soap Mold however, you can find the similar (though lesser quality) silicone 8-cavity cake molds for about half the price with free prime shipping on Amazon as well. In addition, a spray bottle filled with rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol is helpful, though not absolutely necessary.
You'll make the pie crust for your fall inspired pie soaps first. Begin by weighing out the clear detergent free melt and pour soap base. Cut into chunks and combine in a large glass Pyrex measuring cup. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat again if needed, in 30 second increments, stirring in between heatings until the base has melted.
Weigh out the amount of white melt and pour soap base and sal butter needed to create your pie soap "icing." Melt at reduced power in the microwave.
Once you pour the first layer, go back over the soap and pour another.
Now add some of the liquid orange soap color to the remaining “icing” to suit and mix well to combine. Repeat the process with the new color.

Judi Questel on Nov 04, 2016Finished project looks great. Why not put something on your work surface that will keep the mess to a minimum? A sheet of newspaper would help out a lot.
