It’s been many years since I learned the ins and outs of percentages, ratios and parts. I get plenty of practice playing with them though since almost every day is a soap day around here (lucky me!).

Soap Queen Cuisine: Vegan Maple-Sriracha Donuts
Get ready for this (seemingly) crazy combo: spicy sriracha glaze drizzled over deliciously dense donuts. It sounds like a pairing that could go terribly wrong, but in this case it’s so off-the-wall it works! This recipe is adapted from The Veggie-Lover’s Sriracha Cookbook. In the version below, gluten-free flour was subbed for regular flour. Feel free to use regular flour if you’d like to keep all the fluffy gluten yumminess. I would be remiss if I did not point out that my Father insists that the regular flour donuts had a delicious factor of tenmillionpercent compared to the gluten-free ones.
Soapy Social Media Roundup

Spring scents, colors and designs are everywhere, and you can expect to see them in upcoming soapy projects! Take a look at these pins, tweets and ‘grams for more inspiration.
