it cracks just on top of the soap, does not extend to the middle part though.

Overheating. Try insulating less.

Thanks Dagmar88! i will certainly take note of your warning. Previously i left the mould on top of the fridge, the last 3 batches were in the soap room, probably due to poor ventilation. However the honey milk soap was not insulated and the mould was beside the fridge ??#$%^

Could it be due to some cornstarch that i added to the soap? Something new which i attempted in these new batches.

Nope. I have never had soap overheat from the addition of corn starch.
Honey is the more likely cause of overheating.
