Another Amazing 50p Sale!



I've decided to run another 50p sale at our workshop on Saturday 16th November! There is no point accumulating all these fragrant but wonky items that didn't make the grade to be sent out with our orders. Best to offer some great bargains to our dedicated followers and make some space. Just click on the 50p Sale page above to see how it works and then take a look at the Sale Gallery to see photos of some of the items we're including in the sale. I'll be adding more items over the next few days.

Anybody unable to get down to our workshop on the day will be able to take part online. ONE DAY ONLY!!

Autumn Chocolate and Oranges

As the nights draw in and pumpkins abound it seems only natural to turn to Orange. I am burning orange oil in my burner and it seemed about time I made a new version of my Choc a l'Orange soap. This soap was born more than a decade ago, but looked quite different to the way it looks today. Originally, it was made from those hand rolled chocolate balls from Tobago, but I ran out of those a long time ago. Now I have to make do with Green and Blacks cocoa powder, which smells just as good and gives the soap its rich chocolateyness. It's hard not to sink the teeth in. The soap is now becoming a bit of a tradition at this time of year. I just loved smoothing the top layer on and creating those chocolatey peaks with my spatula.
