I have been eyeing the different colored sugars they have for cookie and cake decorating, and I'm wondering if you could use them in CP soap? People add sugar to boost lather (I've never tried it). I made some soap using Sugared Fruit FO from Brambleberry and I really wanted to get a candy look when I made it. I made a batch and divided it, coloring some pastel green, some pastel orange, and some pastel pink, and I added some metalic micas to each batch. The soap was okay looking, the metalic micas didn't really show through.
 
Nope, the sprinkles will not work in soap and not very well on top. Even sprinkled on they they tend to run color and melt. Soap will collect moisture if it happens to be a humid day and they will get very wet. It took my daughter 2 years to perfect a soap frosting for her cupcakes that the sprinkles will actually work on.
