K.I.S.S.: Bath Sundae Favor

Last month I wrote a blog post on Ice cream inspired spa party ideas care of ME! Bath and their line of Bath Ice Cream and Shower Sherbet. Today I just wanted to share an easy and cute favor that'd be perfect for ice cream themed parties, Bath Sundaes...

How To:

1. Whip up some milk bath salts by combining milk powder, epsom salt, baking soda, finely powdered oatmeal, and corn starch. Add your favorite essential or fragrance oil, and color your salts with a bit of food coloring (you can also add in some fresh herbs like dried lavender or cocoa powder for a chocolate milk bath). If you want to skip the part where you make your own bath salts, try ordering them from bulksalts.com , they make each batch fresh and allow you to choose from 150 scents and 20 colors, better still a 1 lb bag only costs $2.49 (prior to shipping).

2. Fill a sundae glass or plastic carryout drink container with a dome lid approximately 3/4 of the way full with the bath salts. The carryout containers may be tricky to get your hands on, however your local coffee/ice cream place may let you have some if you promise to include coupons to encourage your friends to purchase something there.

3. Next comes the whipped cream (aka a shower pouf).

4. Top the pouf with a red bath oil bead, these can be found at Urbane Zen or American Soap Company .

5. For the finishing touch you can insert a straw, a little wooden spoon for scooping, or even a mini wooden foot file.

6. You can create custom favor tags thanking your guests for attending and include this poem by Shirley Thomas at http://www.craftsayings.com/

This very special sundae,

will leave you feeling great.

It's chock full of good things,

even though it can't be ate.

Take it in the bath with you.

Of course don't take a sip,

cause it may look delicious,

but it's made to take a dip.

The crafter who made the sundae below, made it look edible by drizzling melt and pour soap over the top to simulate syrup. The "syrup" also serves the purpose of anchoring the pouf to the without having to use a glue gun or tape.
