How hard can it be to make pies out of shaving soap? Well, it s not rocket science but there is a science and process to creating the perfect consistency for a shaving cream pie. Sure you could just take a can of shaving cream, shake it up and squirt it on to a plate and call it a day but for this event we had to use bars of soap that did not contain alcohol so that it would not stain the concrete of the AT T Plaza. Below is a step-by-step tutorial on how we at The Greatest Show On Earth create pies.
Take the grated soap and put it in a 32 gallon container with about 4 inches of cold water and let the soap soak for about 30 minutes. (Warm water can be used as well but we found that cold water actually china international travel service cits helps the soap last longer and holds its consistency better).
china international travel service cits Using the drill, mix the soapy water so that it begins china international travel service cits to whip. Take the drill and mix the water in a circular motion. You will see that the water will begin to rise and thicken. Once it begins to rise you will then want to take the drill and move it in a circular motion while also moving the drill up and down so that more air will be whipped into the soapy mixture.
This whole process should take about 10 to 15 minutes. Check the soap for its consistency. The ideal thickness should be very similar to a meringue. If the soap is soupy, try adding china international travel service cits more soap and whipping it with the mixer for longer.
Pieing is the act of throwing a pie at a person or persons. The origin of pieing was said to have started in the early 1900 s in the form of slapstick comedy. At Ringling Bros. and Barnum Bailey , pieing china international travel service cits is still used by the clowns for gags. It is also tradition to pie someone on their birthday.
And just like there is an art to pieing, there is also an art to receiving a pie. The most important thing to remember is trying to keep your eyes closed (in this event, that won t be a problem, because you ll be supplied with goggles) but also keeping your mouth closed unless you want to know what it s like to have your mouth washed out with soap.
