Hints for Petit Four Soaps
The "Dollar"
store is a great place to find cake decorating sets with frosting tips.
Mini muffin and mini bundt pans are perfect molds for "soapcakes".
The bundt pan cakes come out with a small depression in the center.
You can put a round bath oil bead in it to represent a cherry. Package
your "soapcakes" in mini fluted paper cupcake holders and
place a doily in your container for your "cakes" to sit on.
Our clear plastic floral boxes make great containers for three or four
"soapcakes" and are available on the packaging
page. Frosting soap is available on the soap
supplies page.
