Think my 2 week break is almost done. This was a labor of love because the sprinkles took forever...its a tester of sorts.. No idea what the inside will look like or cut like.
Made my own sprinkles with CP rebatching of my brightest soaps. Tried a different kind of mixing at high temp to melt them a bit. Don't think it worked but it did start to volcano after pouring. Ended up with cracks before I could get to the freezer.
Scented with pineapple and pomegranate.

Love the colors! Are there sprinkles inside too?
 
looks good enough to eat! the cracks almost look like they were supposed to be there. can't wait to see it cut
 
Yes they are inside also. I'm scared to cut it though because the sprinkles are so hard. Afraid they will pull through the soap. Kwim?
Might wait 2 days when I usually do just one and use a knife instead of the wire cutter.

It would have been good as a cake scent but all turn brown and I wouldn't see the sprinkles. Darn vanilla! Lol
 
:think: I'm wondering if you could do those with uncured/soft soap and a garlic press...

It looks great! Have you ever tried a vanilla stabilizer?
 
Thanks. :)
Dagmar I did use a press one soap was still a tad soft inside and the spaghetti stuck together when cutting off. The firmer soap worked better but had to then dry a bit still or else you'd get clumping when mixing or adding. I cut an end off ad think its good and the pieces blended in perfectly. Cutting more today.

And I do have stabilizer but I've realized the hard way that those with more vanilla, like cakes, can seep out brown during curing. Did a full 2:1 on one and its ruined now. Another had a similar problem. :(

I first tried steaming but found washing those soaps with high vanilla fragrance was easier. After drying, they look as good as the ones I steam.
