This is such a fun project! Bubble bath confetti has 3 elements: bubble bath straws/noodles & sprinkles.
STRAWS
100 grams baking soda, 100 grams corn starch, 50 grams SLSa sodium lauryl sulfoacetate (or an alternate "bubble bath maker"), *15 grams meringue powder (or baking soda) + 30 milliliters fragrance oil, 60 milliliters alcohol, 30 milliliters liquid surfactant (cocamidopropyl betaine), *3 milliliters polysorbate 80, *15 milliliters color stabilizer, & *2 milliliters preservative. Items with an Asterix (*) are recommended but optional. Wet ingredients may be replaced with more liquid surfactant. If you increase SLSa, decrease baking soda &/or corn starch by the same amount.
Mix wet & dry ingredients separately then combine them. Whip on high 3-5 minutes. Divide icing & add color to each. Lay down paper & pipe lines/shapes. Dry 24-48 hours. Scrape straws off with cake smoother tool.
NOODLES
RECIPE 1 (light coverage) {STANDARD RECIPE} = 1 milliliter alcohol, liquid color (recommended), .25 milliliter fragrance (optional), 1/4 teaspoon mica (must have), + 1/8 cup noodles. Mix ingredients. Dry 15 minutes.
Recipe 2 (medium coverage): STANDARD RECIPE + .25 milliliters liquid surfactant (COA betaine); it allows more mica to stick to noodles. Mix ingredients. Dry 1 hour.
Recipe 3 (full coverage): STANDARD RECIPE + .25 ml. liquid surfactant + .25 ml. polysorbate 80 (acts as glue for dry mica). Mix ingredients then dry overnight or promptly remove excess liquid. Coat noodles in sparkling mica, dry 30 minutes, & sieve extra mica off.
SUGAR PEARLS -
Shiny coat: 1 milliliter alcohol, liquid color, & mica. Mix ingredients. Dry 15 minutes.
Sparkling coat: [same as above] + .25 ml. surfactant + .25 ml. polysorbate 80. Mix ingredients, remove excess liquid, then coat pearls in dry mica.
