Wholesale Bath Bombs That Look Like Cupcakes

When I first saw a photo of a cupcake bath bomb, I thought that they’re legit cupcakes I can stuff myself with. How wrong I was. It turns out that cupcake bath bombs are actually bath bombs that look like cupcakes! 

If you’re like me and you’re curious about what these delicious looking bath bombs are, you can buy some for yourself at stores that sell retail or wholesale bath bombs. However, if you have spare time and looking for something fun to do, why not try making some cupcake bath bombs on your own? 

Go ahead and try this recipe to make cupcake bath bombs at home. Let’s get started!

For the cupcake:
1/2 cup citric acid
1/2 corn starch
1/2 Epsom salt
2 1/32 tablespoon oil of your choice (you can try coconut, almond, or olive oil)
1 cup baking soda
5 drops essential/fragrance oil (choose according to your desired smell)
3-5 drops food coloring
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ teaspoon water

For the frosting:
2 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp. meringue powder
1 tsp. vanilla extract
6 tbsp. warm water

Tools you need:
1 large and 1 small glass mixing bowls
cupcake pan
paper cupcake liners
pastry bag
hand mixer

Step 1: Place the paper cupcake liners onto the cupcake pan. Set aside. 

Step 2: Mix the baking soda, cornstarch, salt, and citric acid in a large glass bowl. This will create the bomb base. 

Step 3: Combine the water, vanilla extract, coconut oil, essential oil, and food coloring in a small bowl. 

Step 4: Combine wet and dry ingredients. This is the tricky part of the recipe. You need to slowly add the wet ingredients onto the dry ones to keep the citric acid from reacting with water. The reaction between these two is the sizzle part of the fizzy bomb. 

Add one teaspoon of the wet ingredients to the dry ones at a time. Do this quickly. Mix it around with your hands. If you have some crumbs that stick together, pinch them to make them come apart. One thing to look out for is the bubbling of the mixture. If this happens, you’re mixing the wet to the dry too fast. If you see this bubbling, just keep adding the wet to the dry quickly. 

The end product of this step should be a somewhat crumbly yet sticky mixture. It should feel like a slightly wet sand (kind of like magic sand). 

Step 5: Immediately after step 4, you need to mold the mixture because it will harden really fast. Hard pack the cupcake bath bomb mix into the lined cupcake pan. Pack the mixture really tightly by pushing it down as hard as possible. Leave it for 10 minutes before taking the liners out of the pans. After unmolding, leave them dry for a few hours. 

Step 6: Now, it’s time for the frosting. Take the mixing bowl and blend the powder with the warm water. Mix until it’s frothy. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture for 7-9 minutes until it gets stiff but not overly so. If it becomes too firm, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it becomes soft again just like a normal frosting. When you’re done with that, place the frosting in a pastry bag. 

Step 7: Frost your cupcakes. You can add sprinkles to make them even cuter. 

Wrap Up:
There you have it! It’s crazy how easy this recipe is. For some, it will take a few trial and errors to get perfect results, so don’t be discouraged if you have a few fails at first! Keep trying and enjoy amazing cupcake bath bombs to liven and sweeten up your bath time. If you don't want to go through all of this, remember you can purchase wholesale bath bombs.
