    Materials:

    4 oz. melt-and-pour clear glycerin soap base
    8 oz. melt-and-pour opaque white glycerin soap base
    pastry knife
    ice-cube tray
    soap mold- use a plastic bowl or loaf pan
    gel-tone soap colorants - guest used neon pink, neon blue and neon yellow gel tones
    fragrance -  guest used Vanilla Peach Skin Scentials
    microwaveable bowl or double boiler
    spoon or stirring stick

    Steps:

    1. Melt a third of the clear glycerin soap base in the microwave or double boiler until it liquifies.
    2. Color with gel-tone colorants, and pour into several of the ice-cube-tray cavities.
    3. Repeat step two with other colors until the ice-cube tray is full. Set tray aside to cool.
    4. When color cubes have hardened, pop them out of the ice cube tray just as you would cubes of ice. Drop the cubes randomly into the plastic bowl or loaf pan.
    5. Melt the white soap in the microwave or double boiler. Scent with one teaspoon of fragrance, and stir well.
    6. Allow the white soap to cool until steam no longer rises from the bowl and a thin skin forms on top.
    7. Pour the white soap over the color cubes.
    8. Allow soap to cool for a couple of hours. Turn soap upside down and pop out of mold. Use a pastry knife to slice the soap into smaller, soap bar pieces. Slice the soap with a hand-held French fry cutter to give the bars a fun, crinkle cut finish.
