Hi Ellen, I just wanted you to know that I have tried your bathbomb recipe and boy do I love it. I use that white press thing you have used before and they came out great!!! My nieces just love my bathbombs now. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, it's GREAT!!!
Hi Ellen. The silver spring on the mixer where the attachment goes is a pressure spring. You can twist it to lower the mixer further down into the bowl so you don't have to scrap the bottom of the bowl that much. Hope this helps. I love all your videos ☺
Love how you teach! Glad you got a stand mixer and so smart not to over spend. My husband bought me a Kichen Aid for Christmas years ago, yes you still have to scrap the bottom. If he had asked me I would have told him to not spend so much. Other than really heavy batters or bread dough I don't think there is any difference.
Oh, and Thank you so much for the recipe. I've never made a bath bomb before. I love to watch you make it look so easy. You are such a joy to listen to, learn from, and watch. Sincerely Thank You for your help.
What a wonderful "make day" you shared with us! Thank you 😄 Your videos have really helped me move forward to bath bomb success! I also do two batches at a time, and with my last batch I put some of those lavender buds in my mold before filling with the bomb mix (blueberry lavender and chamomile fragrance, colored with purple kaolin clay) and everyone in the house loved it! The lavender buds hydrated in the tub to make a luxurious look and feel, even releasing a bit of their lovely fragrance. I'm very glad I picked up that jar from Amazon that you recommended. They also washed up very easily. I also appreciate your stand mixer input. I love my kitchenaid, but it is dedicated to feeding the family. I do still have to stir in the little bits on the bottom with most recipes. I recently got the much cheaper Hamilton Beach stand mixer for cosmetics projects and haven't done more than a dry test run. We're hoping to make some bath bombs today, and I was hesitant to pull it out for that. Now I feel confident that it isn't too much trouble! God bless you and keep you and yours!
Hi Ellen I'm glad you got a mixer for your bath bomb making. We have one and it saves a lot of time for us. Mine is a cheap one for my bath bombs and we have a KitchenAid for my kitchen. Even with my KitchenAid I have to scrape the bottom to have an even mix. Your bath bombs turned out beautiful! Great video!
These are gorgeous bath bombs, I would so love to smell the chocolate lavender fragrance, nobody in the UK carries that fragrance and those pucks with the lilac drizzle are just so cute, I'm so glad you got yourself a stand mixer to help you out, thank you for sharing. 💖
Thank you Ellen! ❤Fabulous bath bombs! Love the pink color, came out really beautiful! But don't get me wrong I love both of them,but the pink is my favorite. Thank you for your cheer while teaching us! I love your beautiful smile and energy 💕 I have not the courage to try to make bath bombs yet ,a little bit intimidating for me Lol! But I enjoy watching your videos. Like you said I get tickle!!😂😂
Thanks for another spectacular video Ellen. The doughnuts look yummy enough to eat. I recently got lovespell. It is a great scent. Lavender and chocolate sounds scrumptious! I used to use florals in my soap and bath bombs. People out here are on septic... one of my wholesale customers asked me to make everything septic safe. Now i pipe my florals or use sugar decorations. I have 2 kitched aids. Have them in storage right now. I think they dont get everything on the bottom. I love the cocoa butter drizzle.
These are amazing, Ellen I did the same thing couldn’t afford the cuisinart and got another brand, but hey they do work. Thanks for sharing as always they are beautiful.
I've been enjoying your videos so much! I have learned a lot from you. I'm a baker, but somehow I've ventured into wanting to make bath products. I have a Kitchen Aide, and yes I have to scrape the bottom.
I think it is a nice mixer. I'm impressed with the size of the bowl. It does not matter the price of the mixer, we still need to scrape the sides and bottom💞
Hi Ellen Ruth, we have a Kitchen Aid and we still have to scrap the bottom of the bowl to get unmixed ingredients completely mixed. I think your mixer is just as good, well done!
So pretty! I have a 30 year old kitchen aid, my kids did not like me using it for bath bombs. So for Christmas they all chipped in and bought me a new pro 6 kitchen aid and yes still have to scrape the bottom.
Hi Ellen, I purchased the same mixer from Amazon. I replaced my kitchen aid with the new one. I had a unique problem with my KitchenAid in that product will go to the sides it would never get incorporated in. I have been using my new mixer for a while and I really like it and like you I agree I do not need the price of the KitchenAid if I plan to purchase something more professional I will just get a commercial grade mixer
Hi Ellen love your channel. Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪 xx. With Bath Bombs that have floral items on them I place them in a little mesh bag.. catches all the bits you don't need in the bath and the bomb fizzes perfectly.
Ellen am sooo glad you got a mixer! Good for you! I got one similar at Christmas time, it works great at under $150 bucks. Be careful tho fragrance oil will melt/mess with the clear plastic spatter cover🙄 I learned the hard way. (Yes everyone scraping the bottom of bowl) Love watching you grow! Say hey to the goats! PS Aloe Vera juice is lovely for bath bombs especially here in Colorado where it’s pretty dry. -Momo
Yay! Congratulations 🥳 I have a kitchen aid I bought at Sams club when they had a good sale, $259 with attachments so I jumped on it. I love love it! No scraping the bottom. I use it for my whipped lotions, body butters and steamers. If yours works for you then that’s all that matters!! 😊
Hi Ellen, I just bought that scent too. I don't smell the lavender as much. I love that is smells like chocolate and doesn't discolor. I see a lot of people use the paddle when making bathbombs on the Kitchen Aid. Maybe try that part so you won't have to scrap so much. They also could be editing out all the scrapping of the bottom in their videos tho😊
Hi Ellen, as always, thank you for your great videos 😊 and wanted to tell you that I also got one of those mixers from amazon and its worth it, like you say , it gets the job done, I didn’t want to spend so much money for a Kitchenaid one either so, Im happy with it too.
Very nice! I love both lol! I think I may have to order some of these, I don't take very many baths, but, I do love a nice hot soak now and then 😍, thanks Ellen, I may even try to make some myself. 💞😊
Hello Ellen! Love your videos!! I do have a Kitchen Aide mixer and I do have to scrap the bottom. So the deal you got for that mixer is AWESOME!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful bath bombs Ellen! I recently bought the Cook Lee mixer on Amazon for making bath bombs too. I haven't tried it yet but it too was 1/4th the cost of a Kitchen Aid. I have my mother's KA that is probably 50 years old. I use it for making bread and dog treats, LOL! Yes, you still have to scrape the bottom! Thanks for a great video :)
I used to have my moms vintage KA, it was a work horse, all metal gears… it lasted so long, but finally died year’s ago.. I miss her and that old mixer❣️
These are great! 💞 I like to use sea salts coloured with micas for decorations on soaps, bath bombs etc. One recommendation though is you really need to invest in some proper bath bomb colorants like lakes (easiest) or dyes. They are so vibrant and dazzling in the tub too! 💖
I have a kitchen aid and always have to scrap the bottom. Your mixer works just as well and serves its purpose. I wouldn't have forked the money out for the kitchen aid, my husband got it for me for Christmas years ago.
I have a kitchenaid and it’s been worth every penny. Especially with the paddle that has the rubber spatula type sides on it. It scrapes everything really well and I have minimal to no mixing after it.
Hi Ellen 🤗 I use the plastic beater thing on my stand mixer for bath bombs. It scrapes as it goes, so nothing sticks and the ingredients come out really fine and well mixed. Hope that helps ☺️
I have a kitchen aid and I use it to cook . It has a well in the bottom and you have scoop it and look for dry spots too. Bosch has a new device mixer that deals with that issue .
Hi there, I do have a kitchen aid and it works amazing! I was going to get another mixer to have 2 of them but I’m afraid I won’t be happy due to the fact that the kitchen aid work so great. I would recommend spending more money to take out a lot of the work for you. Its just my opinion though! Take care and great video
Ellen I have my eyes on a stand mixer I saw in the soap school channel, it’s so cute and small and compact but no available in USA yet. Anyhow my stand mixer is from Walmart and I love it the only thing I would like is to have a metal bowl cause I am always afraid I am going to break it. I love your bath bombs and I want the round disks so baddy for my solid shampoos!! Thank you Ellen
@@EllenRuthSoap do you mind to share where did you get it from? I have herd different opinion depending on the supplier and I don’t have any pressing tools so have to be careful, thank you
I adore botanicals in my bath water so having them in my bombs and milk soaks is a huge seller. I feel like Aphrodite with rose petals in my milk bath 😂
I hopped on Amazon to see about getting this mixed (I need a 2nd one) and it looks like it has doubled in priced since you got it. You said you paid $80 and now its $169.99! Yikes - talk about a price hike!! Enjoy the mixer - they were a game changer for me. Also, look at your instructions - you may be able to adjust it so the paddle comes closer to the bottom. Kitchen aid has this feature but I wasn't aware of it until about a month ago and have been a kitchen aid owner for 25 years! :)
Hello Ellen thank you for these very well explained videos. I tried bath bombs. I finally managed to make it thanks to you. However my bath bomb has collapsed a bit. Do you have any idea what could have caused this? Hello from Belgium :-)
My KitchenAid gets most of the bottom. They also make a paddle attachment w a scraper on it that gets EVERYTHING. I got my breast cancer pink one probably 15 yrs ago. I bought 2 white ones on clearance at Target for $50 each for my 2 daughter's hope chests. If you see ones on sale/clearance any body shop painter can change the color. My hub owns body shop so I wasn't concerned about the color.
I'll definitely give this a try! A local hobbyist has a 3D printer and gave me some to try, but every time I try my normal recipe they just fall apart. They're fairly detailed so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Hi! Why do you add baking soda to the cocoa butter drizzle recipe? Just to add thicker consistency quicker? Just thinking that cocoa butter it self is going to harden back once it’s melted..
Chocolate lavender is my all time fave, but I have never sold a single bar of soap made from it. I don't get it. ...which is fine, because as I said, it's my fave! Scents that I don't care for (tea tree) are the best sellers. *shrugs*
18:18 I have a kitchenaid and I need to scrape always the bottom and the sizes. You only pay that amount of money cause it’s marketing. I use my techwood robot, it wasn’t cheap but takes 6 liters of volume and it mixes all the bowl. A cheap and fantastic other one I have is a silkvercrest. The only one I gave up using, is just there for decoration is a kitchen aid.
I bought a used kitchen aid, it’s sooo small 4.5 qt. I’ve made whipped soap, butter and bath bombs. I do have to scrape but I’ve had to scrape only once…. Even the small 4.5qt kitchen aide was 129$ USED, & it’s old. C’est la vie.
Ibhave a Kitchen Aid and you do have to stop and stir. As far as I know, because of the bowl shape, you have to stir every mixer out there! You'd think for the price, it'd stir itself, but no!!! However, I do love my Kitchen Aid. For every skin product I make! Except soap of coarse! It is a powerful machine. I also have my Mom's ancient Mix Master and it's better than my Kitchen Aid! Seriously, it is a work horse, it comes with 2 glass bowls 4 & 6 quart.You also don't have to stop and stir, except once. I don't think they make these anymore. I haven't found one, I'd look atc2nd hand shops! It's the best gift my Mom left me! I hope that doesn't sound rude does it? Jill Gross
@@EllenRuthSoap oh ok I guess it's really up to the maker. I like the smooth look. The donuts are really cute and I love the drizzle on top. It really sets it off and the sprinkles add that extra touch.
This is a diabetics dream, can look and smell and absorb through the skin. Lolz! Perfect!
Very nice, bet they smell divine. I giggled again at pink pig mica LOL. It made a reappearance, last time was so funny 😂😂😂
Thanks 💕 that name “pink pig” just cracks me up😂

Qué es Witch Hazel, una loción astringente? Lleva alcohol?
It's a liquid astringent, most brands don't contain alcohol.
I'll definitely give this a try! A local hobbyist has a 3D printer and gave me some to try, but every time I try my normal recipe they just fall apart.
They're fairly detailed so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
KitchenAid still leaves some that needs to be hand incorporated - I think your bargain mixer was a good purchase!
The kitchen aid is exactly like that. Its only a name.
Hi Ellen, what's the difference between the collodial oats you put in your soaps than the collodial oats that you can use for exfoliant?
The amount and the grind can make a difference
I have to scrape the bottom of my KitchenAid also
Yes my darling you do have to scrape the bottom of your KitchenAid I would stick with the cheat one lol
just wondering can you use coca butter drizzle say on donut shape soaps or not
I wouldn't use it on soaps. I prefer MP drizzle for soaps.
When you measure in ounces are you doing fluid oz or lb Oz
My scale is lb oz
I do have a KitchenAid, and I still have to scrape the bottom

I have never made bath bombs before, I have bought some citric acid. Should it look like granulated sugar or powder?
It looks more like sugar grains
Can you do the mixing by hand?
Yes 👍

Good question, no they are so small it won't really effect the bath water at all. They just look pretty😉

Hi! Why do you add baking soda to the cocoa butter drizzle recipe? Just to add thicker consistency quicker? Just thinking that cocoa butter it self is going to harden back once it’s melted..
Yes, it's a thickener and helps the cocoa butter to melt fatster in a hot bath.
My Kitchen Aid doesn't get all the way to the bottom either. There is a screw to adjust it but I still couldn't get it all the way down. Valerie

I bought a used kitchen aid, it’s sooo small 4.5 qt. I’ve made whipped soap, butter and bath bombs. I do have to scrape but I’ve had to scrape only once…. Even the small 4.5qt kitchen aide was 129$ USED, & it’s old. C’est la vie.
That’s a good deal👍💕
Ibhave a Kitchen Aid and you do have to stop and stir. As far as I know, because of the bowl shape, you have to stir every mixer out there! You'd think for the price, it'd stir itself, but no!!!
However, I do love my Kitchen Aid. For every skin product I make! Except soap of coarse! It is a powerful machine. I also have my Mom's ancient Mix Master and it's better than my Kitchen Aid! Seriously, it is a work horse, it comes with 2 glass bowls 4 & 6 quart.You also don't have to stop and stir, except once. I don't think they make these anymore. I haven't found one, I'd look atc2nd hand shops! It's the best gift my Mom left me! I hope that doesn't sound rude does it?

What about the seam around the bombs? Do you not shave that off?
I like the edge around the middle, but you could shave it off, or don’t fill the mold as much…
@@EllenRuthSoap oh ok I guess it's really up to the maker. I like the smooth look. The donuts are really cute and I love the drizzle on top. It really sets it off and the sprinkles add that extra touch.
Hi for the mixer on the website it says it's not available 😔
I can't find my exact one, but here's a very similar one: amzn.to/4696Byc
@@EllenRuthSoap ok thanks just put it in my cart it's high but just in case I don't find another one XOXO 😘
I have a kitchen aide and I still have to scrape the bottom
👍💕
Why pay 4x as much as necessary. It looks like it will last for years
