I haven't been making soap in months!!! I thought I wouldn't remember, but it's like riding a bike: you never forget.  The initial plan was to test a recipe with 15% cocoa butter , to make an in-the-pot swirl and some piping on the top. Total oil weight:  800 gr Water as % of oil weight: 28 % Superfat: 7% Water:Lye Ratio 2:1 Fragrance/e.o.: NONE Soaping temperature: Oils @ 62 °C, Lye @ 65 °C Mica: Hot Chocolate ( swirl and flowers on the top*) *the flower plan failed, see below :-/ OIL/FATS Olive Oil (pomace) 25 % Palm Oil 25 % Coconut Oil, 76 deg 25 % Cocoa Butter 15 % Castor Oil 5 % Almond Oil, sweet 5 % Everything went well with the in-the-pot swirl!  On the other hand, the brown-colored batter I left in the pastry bag has become pretty thick and I couldn't pipe the flowers on the top of the soap... when I squeezed the bag the batter clogged the piping tip... I gave up with the piping and put the soap to rest overnight....
