Gourmet & Novelty Soaps That Look Good Enough to Eat
I create artisan soaps that double as conversation starters. From realistic cake slices to cupcake designs, these are handmade to bring a little fun and fragrance to your bathroom.

This Black Forest cake soap is one of my all time favorites to make and it looks so realistic. Each slice has layers of "chocolate cake" and "cream", topped with a soap cherry. Just remember, it's for washing, not eating.
About Gourmet & Novelty Soaps
It takes patience to get these designs looking right. Because I hand-pipe every single 'frosting' and place each topping individually, no two pieces are identical. If you are ordering these for a wedding or event, please remember that the cold process method needs 30-45 days to cure properly, so we should start planning well in advance.
While these soaps resemble Black Forest cakes or cupcakes, they are fully functional, skin-loving products formulated with the same high-quality plant oils as my standard bars. My goal is to bridge the gap between playful aesthetics and effective skincare.
Making these is a lesson in precision. I use the cold process method, which means I have to manage the saponification process while ensuring the intricate visual details hold their shape. Creating the layers, piping the soap frosting, and crafting realistic berries or macarons requires specific timing and focus.
Why these work as gifts
They are fantastic as unique return gifts or table decor that guests can actually use. For weddings and corporate hampers, I work with you to match the scent profiles and aesthetic to your specific theme or brand colors.
A note on usage
A friendly reminder: despite the realistic look, these are strictly for external use. Keep them away from pets and toddlers who might mistake them for actual desserts.
Custom orders
If you are looking for wholesale supplies or custom batches for an event, let's connect early. Because I create these in small, fresh batches to maintain quality, I can only take on limited commissions per month. Reach out to discuss timelines and customization options.
