Bath Cones
Bath Cones are fun to make and are always a hit with the ladies. I will give you a basic recipe for bath salt but first, let's learn how to make the cones. I use cake icing bags for my cones. You can find them in the cake decorating section at most stores. They are very inexpensive and work as well as the actul bags sold for bath cones. After I make a heavenly scent I put the salts in the bag and tie with a rubber band. Then I tie a bath puff on at the top and add a custom made card.
