I have a few small containers of sugar "glitter" and was wondering if it would be safe to use as a decorator on the tops of my soap or maybe mixed in at trace?

I cut a piece of soap in half to try. Its 3 weeks into curing. It looks like a peanut butter cup. Is this normal or did something maybe go wrong? Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. http://m1279.photobucket.com/albumview/albums/Hug_Hes_Amanda/IMG_20130702_193002-1_zps77761e57.jpg.html?o=0

I use the MMS The Sage lye calculator. Could someone please run my recipes thru the soapcalc for me? I would greatly...

I am crossing my fingers, toes and eyes. I just tried the hanger swirl. I made a 2lb batch and split it up and colored one orange using turmeric and the other green with green oxide. They mixed up perfectly. I added tangerine fo to the orange half and peppermint to the green half. Then just...
