Oh my land @Tammyfarms, you BRAIDED SOAP!
That is amazing, and your colors are making me hungry for citrus pudding pie!

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.
