A disaster possibly from gel phase?

[Im051]

Hi I just cut a nice turmeric, honey and oatmeal soap which looked fine coming out of the mould, until I saw the bottom. I think the oats baked in gel phase and I'm not sure if the soap can be sold like this. It smells amazing and did a quick test with water and lots of lather. Do I just cut the crust off? And hope for the best.
I'm seeing that the honey was not a good idea for gelling.
