Hi everyone:
I said I would do research on the EU regulations regarding soap and B&B that looks like food.
Here they are:

OMG. :shock: So model food,which COULD actually cause choking is ok, but soap,(which would taste extremely yukky to a child I imagine & quickly spat out) is under the gun? How about they outlaw actual real food that could potentially be a choking hazard?Like lollies,carrot sticks,quartered apples etc etc. World gone mad IMO.

Hello Gekko and Good Morning All:
I was and wasn't surprised. I wonder if this will come to North America?
I found something else on the UK site, but I am not sure I was interpretting it correctly, so I need more research again.
It was about "rights" to designs or something like that. It all started when a crafter/soaper wanted to make a cupcake, but was warned "not to do it" because someone else was already doing it. When I was reading this I though, "Gee, there's a lot of people in North America making cupcakes (etc.) and no one is apologizing because they used someone elses design. Cupcakes (and the like) have been around for a long time, so I wouldn't think that imitating one in soap or Sodium bicarbonate/Citric Acid etc. would be theft of intellectual property. Ah, but before I drift better I find out specifically what was going on the Crafter's Forum UK site.
Best regards to you

Progress Report on Molasses Soap Cake:
Scent
The scent of the "unscented" molasses cake is very mild now. As you have read, it went from pungent to a soft tobacco scent. Now it is a barely there, slightly sweet malt-like scent. I have not iced it yet. Some days I am just a lazy lump.
