When you make a batch of soap and everything, I do mean everything goes the way its supposed to. LOL. I am so used to having some small (and sometimes large) issue to deal with but last night everything went perfectly and this morning, I have a nice loaf of soap that I am anxious to cut. I am just pleased as punch about the whole deal.

Don't Jinx it! You still have to unmold, cut, cure, I'm crossing my fingers hoping that your lucky streak continues.

TY. I am still at my daughters house and dont have all the same tools (like a shifter) so I was standing in her kitchen last night blowing cocoa powder across that soap, inhaling it, and generally getting it all over the place. It was a blast and its so must more fun when your plan comes to fruition.

Dawn, that looks really great! Do you let the bottom layer cool/set for a while before adding the top layer or one right after the other?

I took the bottom layer to a thicker trace so I could put some bumps in it for visual appeal. Slightly thinner trace on the top layer for a smooth top. My daughters roommate insisted on the toppings so I let her have a go at it. The mint was actually supposed to go inside the green layer. But it got missed in the excitement of the moment.
