Guest

Recommended Posts

Just come back from shopping (yuk!!) have been stocking up on cornflour, shaving foam and was hoping to find soap flakes in Asda....didn't do them. Any ideas where to get soap flakes?????

As you mentioned soap flakes, I knew I had seen a recipe for soap snow. Here it is........

 

2 cups soap flakes

half cup water

 

Whip with mixer, adding more soap or water as needed until the consistency of very thick whipped cream. Dip hands in water before moulding so that the snow won't stick to them.

Uses:- snowman or snowballs, frosting cardboard. You can also press it through a pastry tube or use pastry cutters. Dries to a pourous texture that lasts for weeks.

 

I found the recipe in a very old PPA book "Fun and Food for Playgroups". I haven't tried it - has any one else?
