Slowly and carefully add 5.4 ounces of lye to 10.9 ounces of water and gently stir until the lye has fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Set aside to cool. Optional: Add 2 teaspoons of sodium lactate to help the bars harden more quickly.

Fully melt the entire bag of Basic Quick Mix until it’s completely clear and there is no cloudiness. Shake the bag to mix up all the oils. Measure 38 ounces into a large heat-safe container. Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 100-120° F (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend the mixture to a thin trace.

Split off 21 ounces of the soap into a separate container. To that container, add 1 tablespoon of dispersed Queen's Purple Mica and half of the Moon Child Fragrance Oil (it's okay to eyeball it). Whisk to combine. If you still have a thin trace, use the stick blender to thicken to a medium trace.

Pour the purple soap into the cavities of the Circle Silicone Mold. Tap on the counter to get rid of bubbles and even out the top. Note: This project was originally made with Cupcake Silicone Mold, which was discontinued. The Circle Silicone Mold creates a similar shape but will look different from the photos. 

To the remaining soap, add the rest of the Moon Child Fragrance Oil, 1/2 teaspoon of Queen's Purple Mica, and 1 teaspoon of titanium dioxide. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. If the soap is a thin to medium trace, continue stick blending until it's a thick trace. It needs to be thin enough to pipe but firm enough to hold its shape. The consistency should be similar to thick pudding. Let the soap sit in the bowl for about 1 minute and test it. If necessary, wait a few more minutes until it's the correct consistency.

Spoon some of the soap into the frosting bag and twist to close. Squeeze a large dollop in the center of each cupcake. 

Pipe the frosting up and around the center of each dollop until you form a peak. Frost slowly and carefully, and add more frosting to the bag when necessary. If you have leftover soap, pipe little flowers on freezer paper to use as toppers for another batch.

Dust each cupcake with a layer of Snowflake Sparkle Mica, then sprinkle on Silver Rainbow EcoGlitter. Place a moon embed on top of each cupcake, and star embeds all around. 

If you live in a hot climate, place the soap cupcakes in the fridge for 24 hours. Allow them to stay in the mold for about 2 days. Unmold and allow to cure for 4-6 weeks. Enjoy!
