Pink bars dusted with raspberry pop. My DH saw them and promptly dubbed them "Jordan bars." Jordan is our teen-aged niece.

I call them "Pretty in Pink."

That is beautiful! What an incredible color- It reminds me of taffy. Would you mind telling us what color it is and where it came from? I LOVE PINK!

Thanks! That's another great reminder that one never knows who is going to love a color.

The soap was colored with titanium dioxide and red soap dye making the pink. I got the raspberry pop as a sample with an order. I think TKB is the only supplier carrying these "pop" micas - at least according to their website. http://www.tkbtrading.com/popinsoap.htm

I haven't tried this mica *in* CP soap yet - but apparently it can be used as a CP colorant. Looks like it makes a nice pink. Has to be easier than working with titanium dioxide. :lol:

Good job! BrambleBerry also carries mica.

I don't mean to sound dumb but what is red soap dye? Is it a liquid? I have only used BB micas and oxides. I really love that soap!
