I bought this book because I wanted to find an easy way of making my own soaps WITHOUT LYE (caustic soda) .A friend of mine recommended it and I’ so happy that I did !This is a great little book that does NOT ONLY cover cupcake soaps. The author shows you how to make a variety of great unique designs . ALL soaps are made with a mould including those with lye. The difference is that this is the melt and pour method. You can still use different oils, fragrances, and natural additives to make your soap unique.The problem with some soap makers who only use lye, is that they disapprove of anything that’s not made from scratch with lye. This doesn't suit me as I live in an apartment with my kids and a dog. If you've ever seen what happens if lye is spilt on a child or pet then you’ll know why I dislike using the stuff. A soap making friend who uses lye, said he’s constantly getting caustic soda in his nails and it really burns (and he does it for a living).I agree with CBEC FIRM’s review this book doesn't disappoint it’s a great book for beginners and those who want to create soaps with their kids without having to wear all the safety gear-Love it!
