Dessicated coconut rocks & the occasional pure-white
coconut flesh toasts perfectly into a delicious toasted

These Easter soaps were a cumbersome project but

Soaps that make munchkins want to live in the bathroom!



These molds for the sea creatures above and terrestrial "monsters"
below were not meant for soap but I used them anyway!



I love the unexpected twists & turns in this recipe, it made the diners at this baby shower wish for more! They all wanted to know how I achieved this delicately balanced recipe & not sweet at all! What can I say freeze dried fruit does wonders!





Summer is here & I am stagnant no more!
