Marvelous work both of the soaper/artist!!!

But curious mind wants to know, how come the soap is in direct contact with plastic without freezer paper and unmold without a dent?
Is the plastic pre-greased with Vaseline or baby oil?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

Thank you for the lovely compliments everyone. The plastic box was base lined with baking parchment as you can't buy freezer paper in the uk, then you just run a knife along the edge, flip it over and tap the bottom and the soap releases. I always use low water so it hardens up really quickly and is much easier to unmould.

You can get it Claire! I have a big roll of it, got it from a craft shop.

Exactly!
There are things done there that I will not be able to do if I keep soaping 'til I'm very old...
