As far as I’m concerned, I will never have too many cavity molds. I no longer find them hard to use and the soaps are popular with my soapy people. As a side note, most of the soaps in this photo were made without micas, with the colors coming from plants, clays, oxides, ultramarines and essential oils. My big task now is getting these labeled for a big gathering of friends at the end of July. For those last scrubby bars I made (far right) I’m planning to include a “don’t use until“ date on the label. Almost everything else has been curing for months.
ETA: Here are close ups of some of the cavity molds and the soaps I made using them.
This is the bottom of the leaf mold to show the supports that keep the cavities level.
I use this 2.5” x 3.5” purple mold to make salt bars. The sides are perfectly perpendicular to the bottoms. Yay!
I mostly use the smaller cavity molds to make “speciality” soaps like these that highlight avocado oil and have only 5% coconut oil. (I'm not sure why the next photo ended up in portrait mode...)
I make my version of travel soaps using these fondant molds that I bought at Michael’s. The molds are a little pricey, so I wait for a sale or use a coupon. I now have three of each. People seem to love getting 4 oz. tins filled with these little soaps. My SIL takes them camping.
Last but not least, here’s my growing collection of sea life molds. My plan is to position the individual pieces on the top of bars-to-be in a slab mold. My idea for the bigger fish, which are 4” long, is to make big chunky bars of soap-on-a-rope with a fish on the front side. I use the octopus mold to make what I call “Kraken Good Soap.”

How long had it been infusing?

I was actually researching natural infusions to experiment with (mostly for color) and thought I missed something, like a solution or something 
I added a few more words above.
As she also mentioned, it has little stabilizers underneath it that keep it upright while pouring in batter.
