Dry Ingredients
225g Sodium Bicarbonate
225g SLSA
50g Cream of Tartare
50g Corn starch
10g Kaolin Clay
1tsp Mica Colour
Wet Ingredients
100mls Glycerine (keep a bit more to hand just in case the mix is too dry due to weather conditions)
40mls Coco Butter Melted
5mls Polysorbate 80
15mls Fragrance Oil (fragrance oils with vanilla will discolour your finished product over time)
Guys the first thing we recommend is to wear a mask as this recipe involves lots of light powder that will make you cough and too much will burn your lungs.
Sift all your dry ingredients into a bowl, then in a jug incorporate your melted coco butter, glycerine, fragrance oil and polysorbate 80 mix well until you have a thick runny consistency, this is important to get the perfect dough like consistency.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until just coming together (I use a stand mixer at this point but don’t worry if you don’t have one a normal whisk and elbow grease will be just fine. You should now have the consistency of a moist dough that is pliable like modelling clay and doesn’t crack when rolled.
If you are using more than one colour separate the mix and add your mica colours to the portions until fully incorporated . On a sheet of grease proof paper sprinkle with a little bicarb like you would with flour on a surface when rolling dough and place the first colour (the outer colour of your bubble block) and cover with another piece of grease proof paper. Roll out into a rectangle until about ¼ inch thick.
Now place your next colour on top of the first and cover the bottom colour until fully covered. Place greaseproof paper back on top and roll again. Repeat until all your chosen colours are layered.
Remove the top sheet of greaseproof and start to tightly roll the dough into a log, smoothing as you go along until you have a perfect log with no cracks and is smooth. slightly pushing the ends so the log is equal
Measure how many slices you are going to cut equally and discard the trimmed end pieces(theses are yours ;0)). Cut and flip carefully onto their sides and allow to dry for 48-72 hours
