I got these little bitty silicone molds to do sugar work, but would they work for CP soap? Anything in particular I need to do? It has some very fine detail, and are only a couple inches across. Or is it too small and detailed? Thanks for any advice :)

I would use a very hard recipe, a water discount and some kind of extra hardener like salt or SL. You probably want to let the soap really harden before trying to unmold.
 
I thought I might try it with a soleseife recipe... I have to make a batch this week, I just have to remember to have the molds handy or I'll forget.

Because they are so tiny, you would want to make sure to pour at a very thin trace, or you will lose some of the detail. I've seen them used a lot to decorate the tops of soaps like this one.

I agree with dixiedragon, put the molds in the freezer for a couple of hours before unmolding the soap.
