NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend that you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.

1. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 5 oz. of cut up Honey Soap Base. Add 1/8 of the Gold Shimmer Mica Color cube and add to measuring cup. Heat in microwave until melted. Stir well.
2. Pour soap into the bottom of the Honeycomb Loaf Silicone Mold and set aside to harden.
3. Using a plastic beaker, mix together 1 oz. of Almond & Honey Fragrance Oil with 0.50 oz. of Vanilla Color Stabilizer. Set aside.
4. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 10 oz. cut up White MP Soap Base. Heat in microwave until melted. Stir well.
5. Mix fragrance oil mixture with a plastic spoon, then add 8.5 ml of fragrance mixture to soap base. Mix well. 
6. Spritz first layer of soap with rubbing alcohol. Checking that the melted soap temperature is at or below 125° F, pour white soap over first layer. Spritz again and let soap set up.
7. To microwave-safe measuring cup, add 5 oz. of cut up Honey Soap Base. Add 1/4 of the Gold Mica Soap Color cube. Heat in microwave until soap has melted. Remove and stir to be sure color has all dissolved. Add 10 ml of fragrance mixture and mix in. 
8. Spritz top of white soap with alcohol. Once the melted soap temperature has cooled to 125°F,   pour over white soap. Spritz again and let harden. 
9. Repeat Steps 4-6 adding another layer of white. 
10. Follow with another layer of gold (Steps 7-8)  and then a final layer of white at the top (Steps 4-6).
11. Let soap completely harden - about 1 hour.
12. Carefully remove soap from mold.  Place soap in mitre box, if available, and cut into 1" slices using a wavy soap cutter. 
13. Melt 5 oz. of Honey Soap Base along with 1/4 of the Gold Shimmer Mica Color cube.
14. With soap slices standing up with honeycomb on the top, drizzle this melted soap over the top and down the sides so that it looks like honey.
15. If any soap has drizzled underneath the soap, use a dull knife to scrape this away. Let harden.
16. Package soap as desired.
17. Label product accordingly.
