Almond Cybilla Soap

A full post containing all kinds of extraneous thoughts can be found on monkey obsessions but there was an interesting thing that happened with this soap so I thought I'd mention it here to, for our records.  Basic recipe containing milk was used (see Lemon Milk Castile from before).  There was a dramatic color change that occurred during the first week or two of curing.  See picture below.  Almond scent is still quite strong and true though, which is all I care about.  I looooove this smell.

Here it is before curing:


After:


I cut this soap about two days after I put in the mold but I think next time I"ll wait a full week because it was still a bit soft and I couldn't get perfectly clean edges.
