On the Curing Rack - "Sweet Thang" handmade Soap

Oh man does this soap smell gooood!  

SWEET THANG
London Lemon Curd whipped with pure Sugar Cane on a delectable Shortbread crust
 

This was my first time soaping this fragrance and I wasn't sure how bad it was discolor.  So far, almost 2 weeks into the cure, the bars are a dark beige color.  Which isn't bad at all.  I thought they might turn fully brown.  This color reminds me more of a dessert crust.


Now, I know that I have a brand new jar of yellow oxide, but couldn't find it.  So, I used Bramble Berry's Fizzy Lemonade to color the topping and Wilton's 1M piping tip. 


I swear, when I was taking these photos, the bluish evening light made them seem to glow!
Kind of weird, lol.  I wonder if they actually will glow under florescent light.  I'll have to check that out.
I think adding a wispy white swirl in the base will help that yellow swirl pop more next time...
