Sugar skull bubble bars

[doriettefarm]

I've never been a pro at bubble bars but finally found a recipe I could work with, not too sticky and doesn't take days to dry. Made these yesterday afternoon and by this afternoon they were firm enough to paint with mica & rubbing alcohol. I made sure to pick a non-discoloring FO for this project . . . used Yuzu & Cocoa from Nurture and now I want to eat them they smell so good!

Those are adorable. I had a mold like that in my basket at Michaels a few times now but didn't purchase it. Darn

Thanks Shari! I did get the mold at Michaels but heard there are smaller versions available that work better for bath bombs. This mold is like a big cookie cutter then after cutting you flip it over and press the pattern into the surface of the dough.

I made another batch of sugar skulls and wanted to share. Also used a different recipe and finally got perfect rolled bubble bars plus 2 baby ice cream scoops! Guess I'll have to scrub the bathtub so I can test them out

I love the sugar skulls. Your swirled jellyroll ones look lovely too!

Those are so pretty! I'd be interested in seeing how they turn out.

I'll try to get some pics of the bubbles when I tub test them. Also had to laugh about a review on the blue sugar skulls . . . Gave one to a friend for a birthday gift and she said it smelled so good she ended up washing her dog with it too!
