*waves* I'm still around

Hey y'all! It's going to be a short post tonight, it has been a crazy week! I just wanted to put up some pictures of a batch that I did. I plan for a longer post tomorrow though about a somewhat halfway failed batch that I did over this past week, and about my flopped lye milk. It has been quite the learning experience for me to say the least. lol

This is a goats milk batch that I did, that was scented as well. I tried a new type of textured top with this one. You can probably tell that when I was doing the texture of the top that the top part covered the loaf, but then it went down in sorta an upside down triangle. I thought that I would have enough to do a full second  top layer of texture, but my mistake was making the bottom layer too thick. You live and learn though. It still came out pretty good.

 

After cutting up the loaf. I waited for 24 hours before un molding, I normally do it after the first twelve. I had a bit of difficulty cutting this loaf actually. The top has hardened as well. I did the colorant differently. I separated the batch and added the colorant to the the bottom part without mixing it completely right before pouring it in, and it swirled itself.

The view from the side. I loved the swirls. :)

 Ok folks, it's time for me to turn into a pumpkin and call it a night. Have a good one, and check back soon for the next blog! Goodnight!
