This essential oil bath bomb makes a great handmade birthday gift!Hey friends, Happy Friday! Does it seem like Summer is flying by? This month has been so busy, I feel like summer vacation is going by too quickly. We have a lot of summer birthdays in our family so I’ve been busy planning parties and gifts. It made think about these cupcake bath bombs! Remember the birthday cake and donut bath bomb I shared earlier this year? Around the same time, I made cupcake bath bombs and didn’t get a chance to share them as part of my mini bakery series. I remade these cupcake bath bombs recently and my daughter absolutely loved them! They’re perfect for birthdays and are fairly easy to make. So let’s get started!DIY Cupcake Bath Bombs – how to make a cupcake bath bomb with royal icing and sprinkles.

Supplies:
Citric Acid
Cornstarch
Epsom salt
Baking Soda
Witch hazel
Essential oil – this is my absolute favorite! This oil would also work great
Silicone baking cups
Cupcake pan
Sprinkles
Meringue powder
powdered sugar

You can watch my quick bath bomb tutorial to see how I make the perfect consistency.

Step one: in a large bowl, mix dry ingredients together. Add pigment powder or gel food coloring. If using food coloring make sure it’s GEL food coloring, the liquid kind will cause the mixture to react.
Step two: mix melted coconut oil and essential oil; combine with dry ingredients.
Step three: spray a couple pumps of witch hazel until it can hold its shape when you grab a handful (see video above). Press mixture into cupcake liners. I used silicone cupcake liners placed inside a cupcake pan. This helps them keep their shape as you firmly press the mixture down. Let the cupcake bath bombs dry overnight. Carefully flip cupcakes upside down and remove from baking cups. Tip: I like to use a soft towel to help prevent the bath bombs from breaking when they release from the cup.


Make royal icing by combining meringue powder, warm water and powdered sugar. Beat for 7-10 minutes until icing is a stiff consistency. Pipe onto cupcakes and immediately add sprinkles. The icing hardens very quickly! Note: I sometimes get asked about the sprinkles I use. Most of the time I create my own by combining various shapes and colors. My favorite are colorful jimmies, confetti sprinkles and edible gold stars.DIY Cupcake Bath Bombs – how to make a cupcake bath bomb with royal icing and sprinkles.

Oh, wow, how CUTE!! I need to make that unicorn horn bath bomb. I got something like that at LUSH last year and loved it. The cupcake bath bombs would be great for some upcoming birthdays, too. Thanks!

Does the icing/sprinkles melt in the bath tub?
