Chocolate Berry Cake

Hi everyone!
Congrats to "Carrie" for winning the grand opening prize at Oil and Butter Soap Blog "Cee" was very generous with her giveaway. Congrats Cee on the big opening.

The new scale works great,  and I'm off soaping again.
My newest creation is this "Chocolate Berry Cake" soap. This is a very strong FO.
The pink layer has one ounce of "strawberry jam" FO in it, but it's faded and all I smell is "chocolate layer cake" FO. I was really hoping for the hint of a berry under note. The chocolate scent is ~okay. Nothing to knock your socks off yanno? I did add a bit of cocoa powder to the dark layer and cappuccino mica to deepen the brown.

This soap is just "Meh" tho, cute but not a remake for me. A majority dark soap just isn't my thing, sure I like a dark swirl with a contrast light color. I use the heck out of my titanium dioxide lol.

The top has body safe glitter and candy sprinkles.
