Well I got curious and cut the end off. To my wonder and surprise the inside was very pretty. For what ever reason the top was the only thing that was crumbly and cracked. The inside was normal. I test the ph and it was normal too. So I cut the tops off and here is what I got...
So, it seems that my "fail" wasn't such a waste after all :)
Pretty swirls, and that's a really nice red color! Glad it was ok and you didn't have to rebatch! That's really strange about the cracking and crumbling on just the top only.
ReplyDeleteIt is strange huh? Thank you. I am glad it worked out too :)
DeleteVery pretty, Kim! The swirls look great. I'm glad that it turned out well. Sometimes you never know how a soap will look on the inside. I was worried once that my batter was too thick when I tried to do a droplet swirl. When I cut the loaf, it was one of the prettiest soaps I had ever made.
ReplyDeleteI agree... sometimes the mistakes are the best ones. I have a really pretty soap from last years challenge that I didn't even want to ummold or cut because it seized and I thought for sure it would have a thousand holes in it. I was so mad at the soap that I ignored it for a week. When I finally decided to take it out it was one of the prettiest and greatest smelling soaps I have made. When I try to hard things don't work out. But if I just go with the flow it seems to work out best. Best plan is no plan in my soap world.. lol
