I used the Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, and Palm Oil Recipe from The Everything Soapmaking Book by Alicia Grosso. She has good, solid recipes. I admit I cheated and used water for the liquid and powdered milk to make it "milk soap". I scented it with a blackberry fragrance oil. Milk soap always has a weird ammonia/sulfur smell for a day or two. Now, it actually does smell like cereal.
The soap in the tray molds has been out, cut, and drying for a week. The soap in the PVC pipe got stuck. I tried pushing it out but only succeeded in mashing it up. I ran out of options. I stuck it in the freezer. I left it in for an hour or so, but really, it only needed about 20 min. Once I took it out and it started to warm up again, the condensation makes the soap slick and it slides right out. Those nine little rounds of hand soap were stubborn!
Your soap sounds like breakfast ;-)
