DIY Cupcake Bath Bombs

I will now be doing 2 videos per week! A DIY/Craft/Lifestyle/Beauty video on a Thursday and a recipe video on a Friday.

I know this is a change in the direction of the channel but I hope you'll stick with me :)

Beautiful Bath Bombs - simple and easy

They make a great gift and they look good enough to eat (but don't!)

They'll fizz and bubble for around 5 minutes - remember to store them in a cool and dry place

►You will need:

Fizzy:

• Teaspoon colour
• Baking cups
• 1/4 cup citric acid
• 1/2 cup bicarbonate of soda
• 1-2 tablespoon oil (or witch hazel in a spray bottle)
• Essential oil/scent/flavour

Frosting:

• 1 teaspoon egg white powder/meringue powder
• 2 cups icing sugar (125g/.4 oz)
• Essential oil/scent/flavour
• 2-3 tablespoons water
• 0.5 teaspoons cream of tartar
• Colouring

Piping bag:

• Closed star tip

Method:

1. Mix the bicarbonate and citric acid, add colour and mix well
2. Add your scent - depending on strength, up to 1 teaspoon then add oil/witch hazel a little at a time until you reach the consistency of damp sand
3. Press the mixture into your paper cups - ensure they're tightly packed
4. To make the frosting, mix all the ingredients (you may not need all the water) in a stand mixer OR mix the ingredients slowly starting with icing sugar and mix until you reach a stiff but pipe-able consistency
5. Place the frosting into a piping bag - pipe a single layer on the cupcake, then a second swirl so make it look like a cupcake
6. Decorate whilst the frosting is wet
7. Allow to dry for 48 hours
