I'll join the others and confess I hadn't the slightest idea that you meant a tool and not the actual Cheshire Cat! I read your whole post managing to ignore all the clues, imagining your cute Cheshire Cat-themed soap with the colours from the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland, and I went as far...
I like your idea of adding a protective layer (made of plastic I guess?) under your soaping area for any spills. It seems really easy to clean as you go.
I use some old sheets doubled up to protect my table, but when some batter spills I can't really clean the fabric until I wash it. I might...

I'm loving everyone's spaces. There are lots of interesting ideas in this thread!
I wish at some point I will have a bit more space for a dedicated soaping area or at least a handy cart. I currently live in a small studio apartment so I'm also team soaping-in-the-kitchen! All my supplies are...
This sounds like such a fun technique! I'll be cheering from the sidelines as I'm out of town and sadly away from my soaping tools (but taking notes for the first opportunity to soap again 😁 ). Can't wait to see everyone's entries!
