5 out of 5 starsI opened my mailbox today and THE most delightful aroma wafted over me. This, through a sealed box in a sealed mailer. Hilary’s soaps are perfection! I ordered some gift bars — candy cane and orange creamsicle — as well as lemon verbena, confetti soap, and a half dozen bars of my very favorite YUZU!! Perfection!

Inhale with Caution!
A Slice of Delight – is all about serving you aromatic happiness through handcrafted, visually and artistically appealing bath and body products. My goal is to help create a moment of fun and pleasure in your day when you reach for my bath bombs, soaps or body creams - be it in the bath, shower or at the kitchen sink. Created for all ages from 5 to 105.
A Slice of Delight is headquartered in Berkeley, California in a 2 story - 1920's bungalow period home where I have lived for the past 20 years. My business consists of me, myself and I - doing it all. Along with the household fan club and cheer-leading squad - of my husband and identical twin boys.
I use the highest quality ingredients which includes all natural oils and butters, eye-popping colors that are body safe, and fun fragrances that are phthalate-free. I've developed products which along with their aroma will spark a nostalgic memory - where the ingredients all come from reputable and independent bath and body suppliers. There is also a conscious effort for me to minimize waste in our world by choosing bio-degradable packaging and re-use of shipping/packing materials as often as possible.
How did I get to this spot in my life?
In 2007 I took a soap crafting class at The Nova Studio (an hour bike ride away from my house) and I had a lot of fun. I found myself then taking another class, taught by guest instructor Debbie Chialtas (Sopaylove). One Soapylove class, always, leads to another. Top that with Soap Queen TV technique vidoes from Brambleberry, and all of a sudden I found myself slip sliding away into a new crafty endeavor. When 2009 rolled around - I put my 25 year corporate career behind me - it was a respectful departure - and with more available time - I cranked up the volume ;+} .
Soap Art ?
Sure why not...
I was referred to, at a craft fair once, as “The Picasso of Soap”, even if my favorite painter is Chagall. I guess, when you start to cut and mold soap that is embedded inside of more soap, or you create patterns, circles, waves, or diagonals with molds, which I do, then it becomes an artistry of another kind.
How would I describe my creative process?
Cookies, Cakes, Target and Crate and Barrel. I’m not talking about "eating" or "shopping", but surfing online, perusing paper & online catalogs or popping into a brick and mortar store, & seeing how the merchandising and color palates are pulled together. Many times I buy fragrances from their description on the supplier’s websites. It’s always fun when the new scents arrive. I smell the fragrances and let them percolate. Sometimes the aroma makes a straight on “HELLO” with me and other times not right away. It takes some “relationship building” with the scent. Eventually I’ll see colors that tie me back to the fragrance, and somewhere, somehow, a design is born.
I'm really excited and motivated to be on this journey - developing a new discipline around designing,crafting, packaging, and marketing my soapy art.
Thank you for taking the time to let me share just a glimpse. I hope you will join in the fun by lathering up and treating yourself to A Slice of Delight!

Hilary
Owner, Designer, Maker
In 2009, I transitioned out of my technology profession after 25 years with support from my husband, to "rest" & "rejuvenate". Not much time lapsed before the "resting" unleashed my creative juices to begin, nurture and grow "A Slice of Delight".
Shop policies
My packaging for all soaps, excluding salt bars <which did not take too kindly to this wrapping>, is eco-friendly. I thoughtfully chose to use environmentally conscious material since it is something people are more aware of these days and the option is there. I do live in Berkeley so it's hard to ignore knowing every Friday I pull our compost green bin to the curve for pickup. The compostable wrapping I use is made from wood cellulose fibers sourced with sustainable forestry principles. It is certified biodegradable, compostable and made carbon zero.
