March 2025 SMF Challenge: Fruit-Inspired Soap

[artemis]

For clarification:

The soap doesn't have to have actual fruit in it-- just look/smell/be inspired by fruit?

Thanks Artemis, and yes, as noted in the top post, line 2:

"The bottom line - Entry soap may look like fruit and/or smell like fruit and/or be made with fruit as an ingredient."

I added the bold for emphasis.

Started getting excited and made an attempt. We'll see how it goes for the cutting tomorrow .

Edit to add. Too soft to cut 24hrs later. It didn't gel it so I'll wait another 8-12hrs.

Does cranberry butter count as being from a fruit?
