Hey all! This post is going to be a little short just because I'm running late for some things today. The third challenge in the Great Cakes Soapworks challenge is mica swirled tops! I was a excited, but a little worried about this one because my camera is a cheap little thing that doesn't have great resolution to see the swirling. As you can see, this was the best I could get (click for larger image). Anyway, I didn't have a "making of" post because I actually tried this one 4 times! They all turned out great, but not exactly as I wanted. This one has silver and bronze swirls on top and it really sparkles in the sun! Here is a piece that is cut. I did a "spoon swirl" split down the middle with 4 colors: white (titanium dioxide), pink (madder root), black (activated charcoal), and green (alfalfa) I think it turned out pretty neat, but I can't cut the rest of the loaf because it felt a little too soft yet for me. The log is unmolded and chillin' on the rack to harden up a little more. Anyway, visit Great Cakes Soapworks for more great results!
