Thanks, Pamela! I certainly plan to be there next year! I missed talking to

you and seeing everyone, too. You are right about the considerable time and

expense that people put in to make this great event happen! Sounds like we

have some great new members of the group, too.

The whipped shea that Bill demo'd sounds heavenly. Bill-did you do the

heat/freeze cycles, or at room temp? I've only made whipped shea with the

cycles,

but haven't had the light, frothy texture that it sounds like this formula

creates. Can you share your process with the people who couldn't attend?

Thanks!!

It it's a really hot day, you might have to do the cooling cycle thing. I did at

the gathering, and it still was a bit watery. I was also using my newer slower

mixer. A really fast high speed one will help with making a frothier lighter

texture. An older Kitchen Aid is the one I use here.

I take 1lb of shea and add 1oz avocado oil, put it in a plastic container, and

mix on high speed for a minute or two. If it melts too much during the mixing, I

will pop it in the freezer for about 1 minute and then start mixing again.

I'll add any fragrance just before it looks ready to be done.

Oh Bill so a Whip stick kind will work, grate maybe!?

P.S. When I get my Shea Butter (in mail) I'm going to use the

Egyptian Musk....in my whipped Shea.
