You have to be very careful using dried fruit, veggies, flower petals, etc. If they aren't completely dry they can grow mold, mildew and other icky stuff. I've seen it done but have never had the urge to try it. It looks pretty sitting on the top of the bar or in a cut slice but then what? As you use it you have to deal with flower petals or bits of fruit clogging your drain. A better solution is to make soap embeds that look like fruit or flowers and use those to decorate.
