Here is a look at how I made this GINGERBREAD COLD PROCESS SOAP, using Soap Curls. This is my entry for the November Soap Challenge hosted by Amy Warden. Details below.

***If you have never made cold process soap, please research the basics of soap making, especially *LYE SAFETY.* youtube.com/watch?v=yR6ttCSrLJI&t=30s

For information on Amy Warden and the Soap Challenge Club, you can find her many places. I would encourage you to try the soap challenge. I have been learning from Amy and the guest teachers and other soap makers since 2009.
