We'll show you how to make these easy Doughnut Bath bombs, step by step. All you need is a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

What You'll Need To Make the Donut Bath Bombs

Supplies Needed for Bath Bombs:

• 2 cups baking soda*
• 1 cup citric acid
• 1/4 cup finely ground Epsom salts
• 1/4 cup bubble cake hardener**
• 1 tablespoon avocado butter
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon polysorbate 80
• Pink, purple, and blue mica colorant
• 1-3 drops of raspberry scented oil***
• Donut bath bomb molds
• Spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol
• 1 large and 3 small mixing bowls
• Unicorn Sprinkles

Supplies Needed for Soap Frosting:

• 3 ounces Melt and Pour Soap Base
• 6 ounces Foaming Bath Whip
• 1 tablespoon Glycerin
• ½ tablespoon cream of tartar (if needed)
• Electric hand or stand mixer
• Spatula
• Large star piping tip, 1 large and 2 small piping bags

How to make the Donut Bath Bombs with Unicorn Frosting

Instructions:

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, add the baking soda, citric acid, bubble cake hardener and Epsom salts. Whisk dry ingredients together. (If desired, sift dry ingredients to rid the mixture of any clumps or hard pieces)

Step 2: Add the melted coconut oil and avocado butter. The coconut oil binds all the ingredients together, so your bath bombs don’t crumble when you touch them, and the avocado butter adds additional stability and makes your skin feel silky smooth. 

Step 3: Add the polysorbate 80. This helps the coconut oil disperse more evenly in your bath water, makes the bath bombs bubbly, and prevents the mica from sticking to the side of the tub. Add in the raspberry scented oil.

Step 4: Mix wet ingredients well. You may need to use your hands to break down any lumps and make sure everything is mixed in. The mixture is perfect when it holds together when you press it into your hands and feels like wet sand. 

Directions for Molding the Bath Bombs: 

Step 5: Separate your mixture evenly between your 3 smaller bowls. Add 1-2 teaspoons of the purple mica in one bowl, the pink in the next and the blue in the 3rd. Continue to add a bit of the mica until you achieve the color you desire. 

Step 6: Layer the 3 colors in your mold in any pattern you like. Fill to the top and press down firmly. You may need to add a bit more mixture to fill the mold to the top. Allow to dry completely before gently tapping the side of the mold and releasing the bath bombs.

Directions for Making the Soap Frosting: 

Step 7: Place the soap in the microwave and heat in 30 second bursts until melted, stirring in between each. Add the Foaming Bath Whip to melted soap/butter mixture and beat on low until the whip is softened and starts to thicken.

Steps 8-9: Mix in the glycerin. Add a bit of cream of tarter if the mixture is too liquid.

Step 10: Mix in the color. If swirling the soap, split into 2 bowls before adding color to one. If mixture starts to thicken, add a bit of warm water and FOLD, Try NOT to MIX in.

Steps 11-12: QUICKLY add the soap frosting into a piping bag with frosting tip added. If swirling, add each color to a separate smaller bag and then add to the larger bag with the tip. Moving quickly, frost bath bombs and add sprinkles if desired. Allow to harden for about 24 hours to completely harden. Your bath bombs will be read to use or share!

Recipe notes and tips:

While the recipe is straightforward, it is always nice to have a few different tips and suggestions to make things easier. So here are some of the recipe notes and tips to help you out:

• *The price for a larger bag is higher but the cost per ounce is lower. Of course, there are others in a smaller amount at a lower cost per bag. You will need to shop around for the best price.
• **You can use a white based clay as a substitute. The bubble cake hardener makes the donut bath bombs extremely solid. The bigger your mold, the more stability you need.
• ***Be sure to research the safe amount to use on kids until 12 years of age.
• If you don't have a piping bag, you can simply spoon the batter into the mold. Just be sure to pack it in tightly so that it holds its shape.
• You can find silicone donut molds at most craft stores or online.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months until ready for use.

Variations to try:

Like with many recipes there will always be variations to try. Here are a few suggestions.
