I want to make a soap that looks like it has gold drip on it (like those drip cakes), I don't know if I should use clear melt-and-pour or opaque melt-and-pour. Any suggestions?

You could use clear or white M&P with gold mica.

I would love to see that. I just love cake art and "cake" art.

I know! I saw a cake making video and just had to turn it into soap somehow
Ok thanks, is it better to use clear or white M&P though?
I agree with @Babyshoes. Clear will show the sheen and sparkle of the mica better, but might have a somewhat translucent quality to it.The white base might look flat/matte. You could melt a bit of each and mix with your mica to see how they look.

Please keep us posted with photos! I hate re-inventing the wheel, so you can go first! Is your photo truly cake? That is amazing. Like an elegant, edible gallon can of paint.

Yeah I'll give it a go, you can follow my page on Instagram @figandpearl where you can keep up with my soapy endeavours. The photo is an actual cake, but it's not mine, I just got it from Google for a referencePlease keep us posted with photos! I hate re-inventing the wheel, so you can go first!
Thanks, I just looked you up. I kinda want to eat all your soaps.
