These bugs have a lot of detail to them and so after the soap has been in the mold for 24 hours I recommend freezing it in the mold for a few hours before removing it.

I was nervous about this from reading the reviews, and I did find it a bit tricky to get the cookies out of the pan when it was still hot and flopping around, but the bug-shaped madeleines were well worth the effort!
