Chop 4 ounces of LCP Clear Melt and Pour Soap. Separate the pieces into two heat-safe containers. Melt in the microwave using 10 second bursts. To one container, add shavings of Perfect Red Color Block. To the second container, add ¼ teaspoon titanium dioxide (pre-dispersed in a splash of isopropyl alcohol). Stir thoroughly until you have a deep red color and a creamy white color. 

Grab any small rectangle silicone mold you have on hand, a silicone ice cube tray would also work. Begin pouring very thin layers of each color, alternating between each color for a candy cane look. Spray plenty of isopropyl alcohol in between each layer to make sure they stick. You should have between 5 and 7 layers total. Once the embed soap has cooled, remove from the mold and chop into tiny pieces. Set these to the side, you will sprinkle them on top of the soap at the end. 

Slowly and carefully add 6 ounces of lye to 13.65 ounces of water and gently stir until the lye has fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Set aside to cool. Optional: Add 2 teaspoons of sodium lactate to help the bars harden more quickly.

Measure and combine 6.75 ounces of Coconut Oil, 11.25 ounces of Canola Oil, 11.25 ounces of Olive Oil, 9 ounces of Shea Butter, and 6.75 ounces of Rice Bran Oil. Melt in the microwave in a large heat-safe bowl using 60-second bursts. Once the lye water and the oils have cooled to 100-120° F or below (and are ideally within 10 degrees of each other), add the lye water to the oils and stick blend until you reach a thin trace. 

Add all of your fragrance to the uncolored soap. Separate your batter into 3 containers, pour 3 cups of batter into each of the first two containers and the remainder of the batter into the last container for the frosting. In container #1, add all of your dispersed Perfect Red Blend to container 1. In container #2, add half of your dispersed Titanium Dioxide (be sure to save half of the titanium dioxide for your frosting later). Whisk to evenly distribute the colors. 

Using the same large bowl from step 2, begin alternating pouring small amounts of the red and white soap down the side of the bowl, creating a bullseye (see the YouTube video for a visual). 

Once all of the red and white soap is layered in the bowl, pour your bullseye swirl directly into the mold. Pour from different heights to achieve a swirlier look. Spray with isopropyl alcohol when you’re done. 

Grab the third container of batter you set aside earlier for frosting and add the dispersed titanium dioxide. Stir to combine then stick blend until you reach a thick frosting consistency that can hold its shape when piped. You can also leave your frosting on the counter to thicken further if you’re not happy with the consistency after stick blending. 

Carefully fill your pre-prepped piping bag with frosting. Begin piping rows across the top of your soap, adding more rows on top until you’re happy with the shape. 

(Optional) Carefully sprinkle cocoa powder or brown mica on top for an extra festive touch. Sprinkle on your chopped candy cane melt and pour embeds across the top. Spray with 99% isopropyl alcohol to avoid soda ash. Allow the soap to harden for 3-4 days before unmolding. Unmold, cut into bars, and allow to cure for 4-6 weeks.Enjoy!
