The little fruit on top of bath bombs.

[Lu F.]

Hi There,
I was hoping someone here might be able to help me. I saw some really cute bath bombs that had little watermelon slices on. It looked like polymer clay so I’m thinking it might be fondant. Does anybody have any ideas about what it could be made of? Thank you!

Is this something you saw in person, or was it on a website? If it was online, can you post a link? The ingredients should give us a clue.

I agree that without a recipe and picture, it’s hard to guess. My first thought was melt and pour embeds. My second thought is soap dough. Some folks even put small plastic toys in their bath bombs. But I don’t think anyone would want sticky fondant dissolving in their bath water.

Hi, thanks for your responses! I saw the bath bombs at Hallmark, but I don’t have a pic. I found a similar bath bomb on the internet and I am attaching the photo. It was just like this watermelon slice, but the colors were really vivid. I couldn’t read the Ingredients because the writing was so small! They were pretty fancy though. And the watermelon slice had a green rind and a little green piece in between the rind and fruit and the watermelon was a really red color. Sorry I don’t have any more info! I appreciate all your help ! Thank you!

I never heard of embeds before but now that I’ve looked them up, I think it’s likely the watermelon was an embed. Thank you for steering me in the right direction!

Where did you find that picture? Can you give us a link to the page so we can see the ingredients?

I’m not sure what that’s made out of, but I’d make them out of wonder bar. Wonder Bar: Bubble Bar Recipe + Process (PDF Guide)

Yes, that does look like an M&P embed to me. It's not hard to find small molds that would be used to create those pieces.

I bought the bath bomb recipe from this page and they have a Facebook group that is very supportive. The things folks are making out of this wonder bar recipe are kind of mind blowing!

That's a great idea! Soap dough would work, too.

A bubble bar type thing is more likely, since it would dissolve completely into the water, and a soap embed would just kind of sit there.

I use soap embeds as a solid little “suprise” (a soaprise?) inside bath bombs. But I think something that dissolved into bubbles would be nice. Either would work.

Hi Quanta,

Thank you everybody! You all just opened up a whole new world to me . I had no idea about any of that stuff. I am off to check out the Facebook group. I will send an update with the results.

Hi Quanta,

The description for that one says it's a little soap on top. It even lists the ingredients for it separately as "Soap Ingredients".

But I think if it were me, I would probably still go with the Wonder Bar that @TashaBird mentioned.
