Gingerbread House Soap

This could be the most impractical soap I have done, but I had to do it. After doing this gingerbread house soap and this other one, I finally had to tackle this idea at last.

I currently have one of these bars on the sink counter as an aromatic Christmas decoration. My husband has told me it makes him want to eat it (The fragrance is really on point). My piping skills still need to be improved; however, I am happy with how these turned out.

I will put my recipes and supplies below, some of the links will be affiliate links.
