It's been a few days, but our soaps have been taken out of the molds and have been cut. They look and smell wonderful! Now they are finishing up the curing process which takes about 4-6 weeks. They will be ready to use by December 22, 2011. The longer they cure, the harder and more mild they become. Look under "Soapmaking Fun" and scroll down to see more pictures of us cutting the bars.
