Love the entries so far - amazing!
@bookworm42, now I'm craving a mocha cappuccino to go with @Tammyfarms's key lime pie! Your soap looks rich and decadent.
@ackosel Thanks! I'm astounded at what everyone did this time. I bow to their skill. They look so amazing!
I'm excited for mine to finish curing/discoloring since some of the bars are showing little spots of a nice light brown. I think it'll be closer to what I wanted color wise in about a week or so.

This was my first attempt. I used plain ciaglia batter for the third contrasting color which would have worked nicely if I had added a little brown color to the batter instead of leaving it plain. I also learned how important spacers are in keeping the embeds straight.
I had enough embeds and ciaglia batter to make two, 1# loaves. I didn't realize that until the first one (the 4 bars on the left) was built, so I didn't have enough spacers to do the 4 bars on the right.
The brown is colored with cocoa powder, and the soap is scented with peppermint essential oil.

Thank you! Congratulations to everyone! All beautiful soaps!
Congratulations to the winners! I know from experience that the Buffalo Plaid design is very difficult - hat's off to everyone that gave it a try.
Congratulations, @Tammyfarms and @ackosel ! Beautiful work, and well done everyone!
I just can't even.
Mine does not have an edge, I bought this one. These soaps have been selling like crazy. https://elysianacressoap.com/products/soapmaking-tools-silicone-impression-mats-for-slab-molds-new@Vicki C Hi I missed out on the sweater challenge but I still want to make some sweater soap. So I think I found the same sweater mold you used and it has a small edge around it. Did yours and I'm wondering if you cut the edge off before you used it.
