A truly calorie-free dessert

I received this lovely gift recently from my sweetheart.  mmmMMM!  Doesn't it look good?

I bent down to smell its deliciousness.  And stood back up, perplexed.   It smelled a little... off.   Not at all like a creamy chocolaty cheesecake should.  Or on second thought, it actually looks a little funny too... maybe it's an ice cream cake.  Or a pudding cake?  Wait.  Something's fishy.  What IS that?

Soap!  It's a giant bar of handmade soap!  There's this guy in Auckland who makes beautifully scented soaps as a side business, and his specialty is soaps that look like food.  This one is called 'Mint Chocolate Cheesecake'. 

We chopped it into pieces and I'm loving my luxurious showers.

Lush sells similar soaps and some times I just don't know if I should lather with it or just bite into it - they smell SO good.
