You've gotta own that oval, baby! Love the stamp. I also kinda want to eat it.

I also think it looks great and that lather!! Remember also that as it ages, that dark circle will fade out a lot. With the cute stamp you've used and fading, customers won't think anything is amiss. It looks like a really gentle, creamy soap. NIce one! 
I always freeze my GM logs for a few hours after I make them. And I rinse and freeze the wood surrounding the silicone mold before I pour in the mix also, just to make certain no partial gel happens! Might be easier to stop gel completely next time on this rather than try to gauge the right temp to do a full gel w/o a volcano?
Either way, it looks and works great!

Thanks, ToniO! That’s a good idea about stopping the gel completely.I also think it looks great and that lather!! Remember also that as it ages, that dark circle will fade out a lot.

@Kari Howie - I love your horsey stamp! And I agree with everyone - awesome soap 
Thank you, dmcgee5034! My husband and I live on a little farm where we had our two beloved horses. Being of Norwegian descent, I named our farm “Hestland Gård” which means “Horse Country Farm.” Hestland is also inspired by my Norwegian mother’s maiden name, Hetland.@Kari Howie - I love your horsey stamp!

I think it looks awesome and on purpose. With the horse stamp in the middle it looks very intentional!
Thank you so much!
I ended up with too much molasses some years ago due to an accidental over-order. So of course, I used it in soap a couple of times. It is quite the heater - even more than honey, at least for me, and it does turn the soap brown. But ho boy does it make fabulous lather! It also gave my soap a slightly sweet smell, which did not make me mad.
