We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Wand]

Here, I decided to show a couple too
These are the Oscars. Covered with gold through an airbrush with liquid dyes for an airbrush. I have not really made friends with him yet, so it turned out a little spotty .... But this is in the photo, but they shine live! Very impressive!

Wand, Nastya, even translucent Oscars are still beautiful !!

Wand, Nastya, cool idea with Oscars, and the flowers are beautifully in the pot. Yesterday I bought two heavy glass cups for a cheap price at a flea market, also for something like that. I was looking for something heavier, so that the structure would not turn over.

[Wand]

And bouquets for Teacher's Day are just flowers and a couple of thematic (for a sportsman and a musician

The gingerbread cookies are simple, but everything together with a pot and in a transparent bag - also looks very impressive! Gingerbread was inserted into a foam ball (florists use for dried flowers)
The ball was fixed with a little PVA in a pot, so that it would not flounder, and the gingerbread cookies are like a glove! Don't hang out!

[Tanya]

Tanya, the main thing is that you want to make these gingerbread cookies. I was once again convinced that desire is the main thing in our business. I was making a picture for Teacher's Day, my regular customer asked. I asked VERY strongly! She wanted me to draw a bear in a mantle on the blackboard (she bought such a trinket as a gift). I gave in. In the end, it turned out horrible. The bear is really cute, but I ended up with some kind of nonsense. And the most offensive, I spent a lot of time (and it is before the teacher's day), but in the end neither people liked it, nor me

Big gingerbread, 20 cm

harmful78, Liz, well, in general terms, the gingerbread is good. Without flying, of course. But neat, even. And inspiration doesn't come on demand. I have already suffered here with my inspiration. Making felling Smesharikov. One Barash remained. Today I'm going to finish the felling and bake the whole company. And then I will paint. I'm afraid there won't be enough inspiration for coloring.

elena88, exactly, no flight. As you correctly put it. In general, intuition cannot be fooled. I felt that this bear would not go with me

[Liza]

But yesterday I received the molds. From Ukraine itself, they drove to me, wrote the alphabet and a house across the country. And also the head of a monkey in a New Year's cap. This monkey turned out to be such a huge Alphabet I will try out today

Liza, can you take a picture of the house separately and specify the dimensions? Better yet, try it in the coming days?))

harmful78, Liza, can you tell me where exactly in Ukraine you ordered these molds?))

Vei, Elizabeth, I'll try next week. Its base is 14 * 14, the height of the facade is 11.8 cm. The width of the facade is 11 cm. I have been looking for such a long time. It was necessary to go into the box 15 x 15 cm and at the same time was not very tiny (not 10 cm)
Kinglet, I can, but later. I have Natalya as a friend in my classmates, then I'll take a look and throw off the link to you. And I read about this Natalia on Vika's Instagram and saw this alphabet there. Only now there was no money

Liza, cool alphabet! and how much did it cost?

I liked the same alphabet. You can look for a similar one in children's toy stores.

I have similar numbers, they are very similar to these letters, but they are small, 4.7-5 cm high. And what are the letters of what height?

Tanya, these are also not very high 8 cm.But they are wider than let's say I cut myself. And so they look normal. Then I'll click something on the palm. The alphabet cost 2 800. But I chose it not so much because of the price, but because of the shape. I always liked the rounded one.

harmful78, Lisa, envied !!!! I also looked at these letters. Probably I can’t resist ... But the house, don’t be too tight, bake and show

elena88, yes, I'm not stinging, there is no time. Well, I only paint at lunchtime and in the evening, when my daughter is sleeping. This is just enough for orders. I pinned so many hopes on the kindergarten, I thought there would be a lot of time. And the daughter walked around for 4 days and got sick, and she rewarded me again. Here, I hope that next week everything will be done, otherwise they are already waiting for me at work

Liza, where did you order? Cool letters! It's them?

Faith, yes, they are

harmful78, Liza, kindergarten has begun, sores will begin. While you are adapting, you will be ill for about a year with varying degrees of success. We went to the same garden for a year, got a chronic runny nose. But at least he did not fever endlessly, like other children. Now we have transferred to another garden, again all over again. The strength is gone. Here again on sick leave.

harmful78, tell me, where did you order such gorgeous letters?

harmful78, if it's not a secret where did you order the alphabet? Letters in size how many cm?

[olesya555]

Girls, can I torture you? I'm thinking about turning my hands on gingerbread, can you find out the approximate price of the question? For example, a box for 120 hryvnia (which is less than 5 euros 😦) flashed yesterday in a conversation, so it's better to lie with children for free

olesya555, Olesya, we have Temka - Cakes to order, there are all the questions of the confectionery business. There is about cakes, but in principle, the same principles are largely applicable to gingerbread. There, once upon a time, Huska asked a question about pricing, read to the end of the page, a lot of correct and useful things. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=69926.0

Olesya, it all depends on the region, you don't match me. I make cakes for 150 kg. But in order to buy cuttings of the letter, I need to spend 850 hryvnia, and attend courses for 3000 hryvnia

Vera, horror ((. And everyone has such prices in your city? I'm just wondering how much will NOT be impudent to ask for a cookie 😆
Mona1, Tanya, thank you very much, I read

olesya555To understand the prices for gingerbread in Russia, you need to go to the Crafts Fair and ask "painted gingerbread" in the search. The range of prices is unreal! It is on YAM that there is a lot of "regional dumping"))) My gingerbreads are generally quite expensive, but still the price floats and depends on many factors (workload, order complexity, how interesting the order is from the creative side, financial situation at the time of ordering). For NG, I hope to do a lot of different things for the future and there will already be fixed prices, and in the case of an individual order, everything is very individual.

Olesya, I liked how Larisa (from Germany) reasoned. Here in her country, the minimum wage is 8 euros per hour. You can dance from here, because the gingerbread cookies are sooooo different in terms of labor costs (I agree with the girls, this is the determining component in the cost price) - some take 15 minutes, others a few hours. I estimated the direct costs (food, electricity, dyes and other consumables), added the cost of labor (multiply the time spent by your individual hourly rate), plus adjustments to my feelings - how exclusive and flawless your work is. Something like this.

Olesya, it also depends on the complexity of the work, on what techniques are used, for example, the presence of mastic decorations, and on how much time it takes to decorate this gingerbread. Some need only pouring, while others, after the pouring has dried, need to pour some areas on the top, that is, a long-playing gingerbread. Again, if many different colors are used for the gingerbread, then it should cost more, and not only and not so much because of the paint spent, but because of the complication and lengthening of the process.In general, I once figured out how many products at the price it took for 1 kneading dough, from which I get about 20 gingerbread 8 * 8 cm.I calculated how much the products cost for 1 gingerbread (dividing the price of products by 20). Well, I multiplied my most simple ones by 3. But mostly I multiply by 4, or 5, and maybe more for some difficult ones. It was difficult to put my own first price, and then it just - I compare the new gingerbread with the one that has already been estimated in my price list and I feel like setting the new gingerbread its fair (from my point of view) price. And who can stop me from this? I bet as much as I want. But at the same time it is very important to intuitively feel whether people in our area are ready to buy for such a price. This is how I set my prices in winter, did not raise them. And our products in Donetsk have risen in price during these six months, they are simply made of gold, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers at the price of red caviar today. So, I recently decided that it was time to raise the price and raised it by 25 percent. I looked at the new numbers. In general, it became ugly, but I decided that good things should cost a lot and that you need to love, take care of yourself, and that who needs it, he will order. Well, that's it, orders continue, maybe a little less, but due to the price increase, I get the same money, but less work.
And yet, for each new customer, I guarantee a 10% discount on all subsequent orders for life. Everyone really likes it. And I am pleased. And I often give gingerbread or two as an appendage to the order, if the people are nice, or they take the little kids, or someone orders for mom. I myself am a mother and already a grandmother, I love people who are considerate of parents.

[Vei]

I cannot multiply the cost of gingerbread by coefficients. What I counted, in terms of the cost of raw materials, is too cheap, the most valuable and costly thing in the carrot is labor. And I can't measure it by coefficients, everything is more complicated and can be very different.
With 1 kg of flour, I get about 40-45 pieces of gingerbread 10-12 cm in size.
The more fillings and colors, the more expensive raw materials and time spent on diluting these paints. This is what I spend most of my time on. And for me personally, such projects are less interesting from a creative point of view. But customers are ready to pay more for primitive, but differently colored garbage than for a complex, lace or vignette painting, but monochrome. And that's exactly what I want to draw. And the Hungarian caloches! ...

Vei, Lisa, I agree with every letter! I am so glad that Christmas is coming soon, the Hungarian cover will be in favor! I'll put on my boots and mittens for sale. I have never sold them yet, because I started working with orders only from this Easter. And those boots were made for the family.

For me, the most important and difficult thing is the organization itself and the correct time management. And with HP, I just can't manage to do everything, in the morning as I get stuck at the computer, then there is no time left for anything.
So now I'll go to sleep better!))

[olesya555]

olesya555, girls write everything correctly about pricing. There are many factors here. The main thing for me was the financial situation. In the spring there was a moment when I really needed money. Then I multiplied everything by 3 and sold. It turned out cheaply, but the volumes were large and at least some profit, but there was. Now my situation has improved a little and I am doing a little differently. I count not so much from the cost of products as from labor costs. That is, how much time is spent on the product. For example, a large 20 cm gingerbread magazine, which I made on Teacher's Day, cost 400 rubles. Because there is not much work: background fill and inscription. I thought that there would be no more than two hours of clean work (baking, filling, writing). And the postcard with the children that I have is 2 times smaller, I estimated at 350 rubles. There, in addition to baking, you still need to translate the drawing and paint many small details with a separate color. But now I think that we need to make it a little more expensive. Because this is a very laborious process. And during the time that I was making it, it was possible to stamp many simpler gingerbread cookies and sell them for a larger amount.

P.S.By the way, I sell my box for 1,000 rubles (14x14 cm + 8 small hearts 5 cm each), which is a little more than 14 euros. It is not as expensive as at YAM, but my level is not yet the same as there

[fomca]

Girls, and they ask me for a gingerbread house for NG. I have never done them yet. You can at least name the prices - from and to. And the size of the house.

fomca, I did, but for a long time, the internet is full of different sizes and schemes, choose any, but I would count it like a gingerbread: 4 gingerbread walls + 2 gingerbread roof + stand (if any) each wall is like a separate gingerbread, and a lot of icing goes to it. At first I collected the paper, then cut it out from these clippings on the dough, the paper looks less, when I baked it, I was very surprised at the size))))

Light, I'll send you to YAM now)))
There you will see everything, prices, sizes, and decor!

[Burunduk, Tatiana]

Girls, the prodigal parrot is back.After a month of traveling, the following set went to order:

Burunduk, Tatianavery delicate, beautiful gingerbread, really like the big one with protruding icing, great!

Burunduk, Tanya, welcome back! You taught the courses you wrote about, right? How was it? The gingerbreads are beautiful, so elegant. Are the flowers mastic? I’ll ask you again - how did you pack this big gingerbread? Well, so that these flowers do not break. If I cling to mastic, then I only make flat ones, I sculpted these a couple of times, so they break off in the package.

You taught the courses you wrote about, right? How was it?

Tanya, my course will take place in Rostov on October 17-18 and 19-20. Those interested in one group did not fit, mmm ...

how did you pack this big gingerbread?

The big gingerbread was the lid of the box, and the smaller ones were put inside. The packaging of such products is really a problem, I couldn't come up with anything at once, so I glued the box with icing to the backing and gave it away like a cake.

Burunduk, very elegant! Great job!

Ira, thanks

Burunduk, Tanya, I also really liked your set, although how to pack it and deliver it without loss, I'm not sure I know.

Tanya, welcome back! The set is cool!

[Lera, Sahars]

Hello, I'm here again with gingerbread, I made the dough Lera, Sahars good gingerbread turned out. But then it so happened that I kind of made these gingerbread to order. The fact is that I gave all my previous gingerbread cookies to friends and acquaintances, and suddenly I was asked, through my friends, to make them gingerbread for employees. There are both men and women, but serious, law firm, said that they did not want hearts and flowers, but at my discretion. They really liked my gingerbread cookies, you will not find such gingerbread in Greece, so this is something unusual for them.
At first I was delighted, did, and now I began to doubt, maybe it’s too early for me to make an order, then I thought about the price, but then one of the girls asked, so I’ll deal with this question. But in general, I'm still worried, they will be taken away this weekend, I'll see their reaction
Yes, and this time I made a few gingerbread cookies with white icing and (hurray !!!) it didn't turn yellow like last time, so apparently the saffron, which I put into the dough, was to blame.
Well, I take the gingerbread themselves for your judgment:

here I had problems with the ties, when they dried up, they got indentations, and in several there were even holes, this is because I was already making them at the end of the day, the icing stood still, slightly thinned out.
and I made the snowmen just like that, I'll give it to someone
Vei, Elizabethvery beautiful autumn sets, I especially liked the large maple leaves, you draw very beautiful curls!

Irina Fina, Ira, very beautiful, I like the first ones sooo much, the fill is even, sugar straight and the pattern is clear, even, and every dot is in its place. And I liked the ties with them. I did a couple of days ago, so a terrible success came out, it's not mine - business style in gingerbread. ))) And yours is pretty.

Irina Fina, neat gingerbread, I really liked the shreds!

Irina Fina, Ira, thanks! Your gingerbreads are very good for a beginner, you need to fill your hand a little so that the lines lie smoother. And it's great that customers themselves are looking for you

klimentina, Lyuba, thank you!

Irina Fina, Ira, wonderful white gingerbread cookies, ties too (it doesn't matter that there are failures, customers won't notice). But the colored round ones are very neatly made, but I didn't really like them. But this is for me, everyone has their own vision, and in life they may look more interesting. Here in the photo the colors are some kind of faded, dirty, and therefore nondescript. And from a technical point of view, you did them well.
I think that everything will work out for you, and soon you will become a gingerbread princess in Greece))

Irina Finavery decent work for a beginner. Liked the white ones. In general, I love single-color gingerbread. The fill is even. Icing is rightly involved. Patchwork for an amateur, but also very worthy. The shirts, despite the flaws, look good. Lisa is right, customers are unlikely to notice the flaws. The snowmen liked the idea. Took a note. Good luck and inspiration!

Ira, lovely gingerbread! And I liked the patches most of all.That's for sure, there are no comrades in taste and color

Vei, Liza, tell me, what did you do with the inscriptions in the bouquets? In the sense of what tool. An ordinary envelope?

harmful78, Liza, I made the inscriptions with the PME nozzle number 1.5. She also made curls on a yellow sheet. And I made the contour for filling number 2.

girls, thank you very much for your feedback! it is very important for me

[harmful78]

I put my alphabet to the test. I show the result. Height 8 cm, unit 10 cm, decorated with icing. Immediately I apologize for the photo, while I was finishing it it became completely dark And the size of the letters


And there was also a set for the baby. The smallest gingerbreads are 7 cm, the largest horse is 11x12.5 cm. I have it, I confess it was not successful

harmful78, Liza, the letters are wonderful! I really liked it. But the set is not very good. As if different people were doing ...

Yes, with him, as it was not immediately asked. Until recently, I did not know which colors to take. I get lost when there are so many shapes. I would like to make them in one color scheme, but it turns out that horrible. Hope this will change over time

harmful78, the letters are awesome! The set is cute, I didn’t see any horses that were very beautiful, apparently with horses it’s like that for everyone))

klimentina, thank you for your kind words, but I remember Tanya's horses. They were sooooo cute! True, they are not rocking

Lisa, well, that's what you've done! Now I want this too, expenses again! Wonderful letters! The normal combination of color, in vain, only I would make both blue and yellow brighter. Draw the horse's belly line lower, it will look more proportional. There was something on the ball that the filling hummed ... The little car should raise his nose and fill it along the contour of the gingerbread. But I did not like the cutting of the foot, it looks more like Yeti's paw than a baby's leg.
Py. Sy. Don't be offended by criticism! By myself I know how the eye gets blurry, and then advice from the outside is very necessary! I tried to help.

harmful78, LisaI also really liked the letters, the flags on them, they look very cool

Girls, thank you all for the praise. Although there is nothing to be very proud of - the idea of ​​decorating letters is not mine, but Vicki
Natkamor, it is really pleasant to communicate with Natalia, it means a lot.

My classmates have Natalya as friends,

I also order from Natasha. / I think the same) / the quality is very good and it is pleasant to communicate with a person. the choice is huge. plus they can also be made individually according to your layout. 🔗 and 🔗 and soon the site will be finished. I highly recommend
and they also have very funny contests - guess what the form is. by the way, it is very useful and develops imagination) then so many options can be drawn on one form) and sales are also held / if you really want to, but it seems that you can be patient without this form) but when you see a reduced price, then patience flies away somewhere ))) /

harmful78, if it's not a secret where did you order the alphabet? Letters in size how many cm?

You can also order from Dasha 🔗

[elena88]

Girls, I have finally finished my titanic work. The Smeshariki series first made clearings. Well, and then everything else.They bothered me, I have no strength. Tomorrow, in daylight, I'll take a picture and give it to my son to eat.

elena88, so cool! Neat and similar to themselves. Even the expression faces muzzle looks like. What did you paint eyes with? Icing or marker? And what size are the smeshariki themselves?

elena88, super-duper smeshariki !!! I really liked it !!! similarity one-to-one!

elena88, super-awesome Smeshariki !!!

elena88, turned out great !! also from scratch. I started with molds!

How beautiful it is! Lovely !!! And how did you do the felling?

harmful78, Elena.P, Katerina79, DaNiSa, girls, dear, thanks for the feedback, I am very pleased. Dimensions on average 9x10cm, crumb 9x15cm.
Mom Tanya, but about felling in detail here, the principle and materials are the same.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...226.0
And I downloaded the sketches in Yandex. I typed: Smeshariki coloring, and choose. Then she adjusted it to size in any program, printed it out and bend the iron forward

Len, smeshariki are cool! How did you draw a dark outline? Chocolate or icing? And what nozzle?

Ver, thanks for the feedback! I drew the contour with icing without attachments, from a cellophane bag. I cut off the corner quite a bit and that's it. I just have no attachments. She wrote for Ali, but she did not come. Three months have already passed. All the shnyazhki came, but no attachments. So I draw in the old fashioned way. And Lyuda Huska made friends with my test. It was she who wrote that she makes the walls on the cakes from it and, in my opinion, she also mentioned something about the house. And I used it to build a sled with horses for Christmas. It turned out fine. If you do your plans, sign off, pliz. Interestingly

elena88, Lena, what wonderful smeshariki! I fell in love straight, so neatly, brightly and elegantly, although I am not a fan of modern cartoon characters, but yours won me over! I took it to the bookmarks, I can repeat it when, only with templates, I don't have the spirit and patience to cut down.
Did you draw your eyes on the gingerbread or cast them on the file?

Mona1, Tan, I also do not like modern ones. And then the son directly fell for Smesharikov. Well, admit it, it's still better than Pep's pig. What can't you do for the child? In our family, such a dialogue happened:
Son: - Mom, I am Krosh!
Me: - And then I, probably, Nyusha? (was just in pink pajamas)
Son: - No, you Hedgehog!
I'm good. And then who is dad?
Son: - And dad - Pin!
Me: - Why Ping?
Son: - Because he fixes everything ...
Me: - I see ... Dad, do you hear? You are Pin.
Husband (thoughtfully because of the computer): - Well, well, at least not Losyash ...
And I drew my eyes right on the gingerbread. I put a drop in the center of the eye and stretched it with a toothpick to the contour. Not a quick procedure, but I have nowhere to rush ...

And did you fill it with the same icing as you outlined, of the same consistency? So many different colors are used that dear mom! How did you manage this at all - did you make the colors in order, or did you prepare everything in cornet bags at once? When I see such multicolor, I just take off my hat before such work. I don’t know when I’ll make up my mind about this.

Mona1, Tan, here I have already played enough so that there are no large remnants of icing I did this: start with Nyusha. First, she poured it with pale pink, then dumped the remains from the bag, added more dye to make it brighter, and filled in brighter places. When the pink was done away with, I added to the remains of the pink still unpainted icing and the blue, purple dye, got lilac, filled it in. Then I made the purple even darker, filled it in. That is, all the time I watched from which color I can switch to another. I spent the whole night on filling. The next night, the details began: eyes, beaks, mouths, etc. And the third night went to the contours. I put the remains of icing in bowls, made it thicker and again in cornetics with tiny holes, and then drew the contours. As a result, I have collected pieces of 15 different-sized bags and bags with icing remnants. By the way, there weren't many leftovers. In total, it took me for nine characters half a portion of icing according to Spence. And a little more unpainted icing remains. About two teaspoons.The impression was twofold. The first is the pleasure of a job that I have never done before. Second, you need something simpler to sell, because most of the time is spent on coloring and bringing the icing to the desired consistency. I painted nine gingerbread for three nights. They are golden. The second aspect does not bother me much, because I do not make to order. But such painstaking work is tiring. On the other hand, when the hand is full, work goes faster, and with my snail's pace I cannot be a guide for our craftswomen.
I apologize if my answer is confusing. Thank you for your attention and appreciation of my experiments. By the way, Danilka Krosh has already eaten. For a long time he did not dare, played with him, and then with tea and comments he diminished him for a sweet soul.

Flax, get crazy. There are no words.

Here I subscribe to every word! I have a similar process organization. I finished baptismal gingerbread, my neck aches and my shoulders are buzzing, my husband grumbles that the price should be twice as high Tomorrow I'll take a picture

Lena, I really liked your smeshariki, they kill labor costs. It also takes me several hours to breed flowers and the desired consistency (((
How did you transfer the drawing to the gingerbread?

Vei, Lisa, thanks for the tip! I always appreciate your assessment, knowing your perfectionism. I drew a drawing for filling on a gingerbread, scratching around the template with a needle, which I cut out of paper. And she already transferred the details over the fill, as the girls used to write: she circled the necessary lines with a soft slate pencil, turned it over, and with light pressure drew it over the dry fill, the pencil trace was quite clearly visible even on a black background. Again, the method is not quick, but there is no other

[Babovka]

Thank you! And I found a similar alphabet, so it does not increase to the required size

Faith and this will do?

Babovka, Cute girl! what is your name? write in your profile! It looks like it is! And where did you hide it? Well, I can't find it! As soon as I didn’t write in the search engine and I don’t show up such a page Thank you!

I'm Olesya)). I don't know how to add a name to a profile

[harmful78]

Girls, I ask for advice. I drew two gingerbread. In my thoughts it seemed to me that everything would be just fine, but in reality it turned out ..... Maybe someone has thoughts that can be corrected? I suppose that the small inscriptions should have been in a different color (maybe purple). And the handwriting of the curve turned out, as luck would have it, But this cannot be fixed

harmful78, Liza, everything turned out great! I would either keep or add an icing pen, but I'm not sure if it will fit here.

Thank you, Lisa! I thought to draw the pages below. I didn't think about the pen. Could have been with an inkwell. Ehhhhh, you could have left a place ... And there is no time for a separate oven

in principle, you can squeeze a small white feather out of the icing slightly softer than the base one from above along the binding. The inkwell is not necessary, You just try to draw a pen separately on the file, if it works, then draw it on the gingerbread, if not, then leave it as it is.
By and large, you can not only draw the pages, it will probably also be nice, but you can even make a type of border with dots, but if there is no goal, to convey photographically real similarity.

LizaI like everything! Can draw at the bottom of the page as in an open book.
I will never finish reading to the end: girl_red: Lisa has already answered

harmful78, class idea! Can a bit of a page "grow old"? Cocoa seems to be dry.

Oh, Lisa ... I'm trying to learn how to catch the moment when all attempts to fix something only make it worse. If it were my gingerbread, I would stop there.

You are right about "seizing the moment". It happens to me regularly too. Yesterday: I drew a feather on Liza's advice. It turned out such a graphic image, right in the subject of all these handwritten inscriptions. Then WHY - THEN decided to fill it all with icing. It turned out to be disgusting And only this morning it dawned on me that it can also be tinted. In short, here's the result. Size 14x18 cm.The customer did not set any specific task, she only said that they should be dedicated to the year of literature



And in the package

In general, I really wanted to make these gingerbread cookies. I even specially trained on the file to make the inscription more beautiful.As a result, the inscription turned out worse than without training The Law of Mean ...

[Burunduk]

Girls, here is the fruit of my night work Ndaaa, the site photo quality is eating up ...

Burunduk, when I think about how much work it is, my hands hurt myself)) very beautiful! very neat! clever girl!

Burunduk, I have no words! Very cute. tender and symbolic!

very beautiful gingerbread! but how much should they cost if 3 pieces are made overnight?
I come to the conclusion that it is necessary to simplify, all the same, the customers do not see the difference. In any case, you need to do something not laborious on small gingerbread and children.

klimentina, suvoyka, Thank you! Liza, to be honest, I'm driving myself. It was possible to stop earlier - but I wanted to brown my cheeks. She took out a box of dyes, browned it. And then Ostap got carried away - since I got it, then the clouds must be brought, otherwise they are pale, and then the cradle, and then the leaves-twigs, there are already gel paints stuck to my hands ... As a result, I spent 2 hours more than it was possible would.
Well, it doesn't work out for me ...
I want to say that three carrots took 15-20 percent more time than it would have taken one. So the minimum batch requirement is very reasonable!

Burunduk, Tanya, the gingerbread cookies are wonderful!
Now, really, it's a pity to eat this!

Katerina79, Thank you! Customers are more ruthless.Although there are a few who decided not to eat, they left it as a picture

Burunduk, Tanya, your gingerbread cookies are generally unreal! like postcards! such beauty!

DaNiSa, Alenochka, thank you! It is in this gingerbread that there is nothing technically complicated. It's just a lot of details, colors and different icing consistencies - that's why it's long-lasting. In general, the most difficult thing for me is to decide what exactly I will do, I rush like that monkey - "to the smart or to the beautiful"

Burunduk, Tanya, how beautiful it is! I agree with Lisa that the labor costs will not pay off. People who are far from the gingerbread theme cannot appreciate it. But it's almost like painting a picture. Conclusion: we need to simplify the designs of gingerbread for sale. But then it won't be interesting to work. Here is the eternal dilemma: business kills creativity

[Burunduk]

I still have two children lying around ...

Burunduk, Wow! Cool!

Such gingerbread is a pity to eat everything you want to consider as pictures

Babovka, elena88, thank you! : -

Burunduk, very beautiful kids)) I tried to fill the bell for teacher's day and baked it in a silicone volumetric form. it didn't work out for me with dense icing, as I understand it should be poured in the same way as cakes are poured with glaze. I didn't succeed, but I'm not very friendly with icing yet))

Burunduk, Tanyusha, how awesome everything is! Straight as if alive, and voluminous, I can not tear myself away from the baptismal. The flowers on the tree are kind of icing, you made them in advance, but what kind of nozzle is this, apt. In general, what is the size of the baptismal?
And other gingerbread cookies with kids are also a complete delight! Cuties! And the baby's hair in a towel also looks voluminous. Did you do it with icing in relief or does the play of colors create a sense of volume and relief?

Tanya, you always praise so pleasantly! Flowers are mastic. I rarely have orders for cakes, especially mastic ones, and I made it a rule to process the remains of mastic into flowers of different sizes and colors. Drying, folding. At the right time as a godsend!
Size 14x18 and 15x20 (there is a larger inscription)

And the baby's hair in a towel also looks voluminous. Did you do it with icing in relief or does the play of colors create a sense of volume and relief?

Both. I applied a monochromatic relief, and then added shades with a paint (this is optional, but my hands itch)

[Burunduk]

Girls, does anyone have any experience with icing on non-flat, that is, convex surfaces?

yes, you need to make the icing thicker, the outline is higher / thicker. In general, what exactly were you asking about?

In general, what exactly were you asking about?

Well, here's how to fill a hemisphere, for example? Or a side panel for a box?
For example
🔗

I watched Julia Asher in the MK video. She dipped the hemisphere "back" down into a bowl with icing. She did well. She did well. It didn't work out for me. It's a pity I didn't save the link.

Oh, Tan, I found it. Here it is:
🔗 Take a look, try, then share your experience.

Thank you! Here in Julia's video, the icing is a little stringy, elastic, very glossy. She puts a dot - and the "tail" is pulled in by itself, while the dot lies with a ball, does not blur. I can't get that consistency, my icing is more chunky and not so "rubbery". How about you girls?

Burunduk, I poured vertical surfaces on the vase. But honestly, I don’t remember the details, I was so tormented then. I can only say that it is necessary to pour without regret. Otherwise, thick icing dries up right before our eyes. And if it is watery, then the gingerbread is very transparent. In short, it is necessary to select. And she poured it like this: she turned the bowl over, put it on a glass and put it on a large plate, so that the edges of the bowl did not touch the plate. And watered from above. But I only had a hem on the sides, it will be more difficult to fill the whole bowl

harmful78, Liza, that's a problem! After MK I will experiment

it means that you did not add icing, and you need to sift the powder through organza.
What recipe do you use for your icing?

Lisa, according to Spence's recipe (455 grams of powder for 90 grams of protein) I have Lviv powder, of very good quality. For my work, normal sifting is enough. But for thin threads - yes, you can't get out of organza :-)
There were also thoughts that it was not enough, but my equipment is dying under it - there is not enough power. Usually I do it for 3 proteins, that's 105 grams on average. How long does whipping usually take?

Julia's icing is not on raw proteins. I don’t remember exactly, again I saw her somewhere, she directly gives the proportions for which type of painting how much water is needed for the finished icing mixture to get the desired consistency. I got the impression that she is using albumin or a ready-made mixture (I forgot the name). She does not use raw proteins. Something is probably added to the finished mixture for elasticity. And about the graininess of icing, again, Lisa is right: sow, sow and sow again.

Here's a video of her making it on pasteurized proteins. ... Due to the installation, it is not clear how long it takes to whip, but I realized that after mixing at high speed, it takes 1-2 minutes for it to turn white, but it does not take a long time to avoid excessive formation of bubbles. So she takes out the whisk, and the icing is so standing that I can't. She didn't say anything about sifting. But she has a beast apparatus, my Boshik does not pull this. So I'm still inclined to believe that my icing is just undershoot. And I will throw fishing rods for my husband about Kesha

Good afternoon, craftswomen. Have a nice day. Found a funny New Year's picture, maybe someone needs it.

September 1, autumn gingerbread

harmful78, Lisa, that's a challenge!

Tan, I only poured an egg, twice, then spat and just wrap it up with mastic.
here, in the first photo, an egg flooded with icing, in the second, covered with mastic, as you can see, there is no visual difference, and labor costs are noticeably different

[aelita1702]

aelita1702, Vika, here the words end, there is only delight !!!
Very cool, stylish, professional!

[Victoria]

Victoria, it's just a delight! So many details, shades, and the workmanship is super! This is your capacity for work!

[Kitty]

Kitty, I understand But I'll try to pour it in, some won't believe it until they check
I will unsubscribe about the results

September 1, autumn gingerbread

just super! I have a separate daddy in my laptop for your work, for inspiration

[Kitty]

s

Kitty, Vika, how to live after that ?! As soon as you start to think that you can do something in life, and then - bang! AND snout face on the asphalt! Stunningly incomparable I don't even know which ones I liked better. I just look and meditate ... And what did you do with the craquelure effect? About the covering with mastic a separate "merci" and how does the mastic hold on to the gingerbread? I mean, what glued? And yet, how did you put the net on the gingerbread 85 years old grandmother? Really by hand? And what size gingerbread alphabet? I took almost everything to the bookmarks and sob with delight.
Well this is necessary! I can't calm down. She came, killed on the spot and left to die without medical assistance ...

[Mona1]

Girls, I came with my "creation". After the works exhibited by Vika and Tanyusha, she did not want to embarrass herself. In short, does it look like a bit of a Pikinesian? Give it back tomorrow, but I'm as nervous as a first grader.
In general, the diameter is 17 cm, the dough according to my recipe, was passed from above with a brush. The muzzle with the eyes cast on the file. I tried to portray long wool on the samples with icing, nothing worked, I am nervous, in general, I flooded it with icing, patted the top with a light gray paint brush diluted in vodka

Mona1, Tanyusha, don't panic! Great pikeness!

Mona1, Tan, the Pikingese is really good. Perhaps there is not enough light and shade to highlight the volume, but this is a task for the artist. You know, if you’re not sure that you can do better, then you don’t need to touch. It seems to me that we need to somehow decorate the edge of the carrot. And it looks unfinished. But I am afraid that the drawing is large and if the edge is designated, then the Pikingese himself will be cramped in such a limited space.

Yes, the customer wanted a big gingerbread and pikinesa for the whole gingerbread, some kind of edging with this size of the dog will visually press and distract attention, and even then the peak will be cramped, like in a cage. But chiaroscuro, of course, is necessary, I slightly retouched my ears with light gray, and that was afraid, because it should be white and that's it. Especially not overclocked.

Mona1, Tanya, don't worry! Marketable Pekingese - the breed is unmistakably recognizable. If you’re not sure, then it’s better not to touch it, but if your hands itch, then how would I do it: mix black and white dry dye, try the shade on a white sheet - it should be slightly gray. I would add a little blue, a saaaamy droplet, white gives off blue. and then neatly, with short movements in the direction of the coat, I would shade under the muzzle, ears, below the breast, ears along the outer contour. A little more intense at the edges, not at the center.
But I repeat - this is not necessary, the dog is very similar to himself!

Thank you, Tanyush, there is no time anymore, and there is no dry black dye, coal is also not found. By the way, you need to buy it. Tomorrow morning I'll take the order.

Mona1, for me this is a spitting image of a Pikines! very believable !! smart girl!

thanks, Alain!

[Victoria]

VictoriaThank you very much for sharing your beauty with us

[Bulky egg and baskets]

Bulky egg and baskets
I will answer about eggs and mastic, the mastic adheres very well, I moisten the gingerbread a little, now I will show approximately the technology of these eggs


everything under the spoiler, as it takes up a lot of space

first I made baskets-stands
baked the base in such molds


then made a mastic decor from milk-chocolate mastic







the last photo is already before the "planting" of the egg) Before that, I blinded these chickens


baked eggs

covered


planted icing along the contour, hid the chickens in the eggs, like this


glued and set eggs

then decorated




this year I made gingerbread chickens, did not weave baskets) did not close the eggs


but the principle is the same

Tomorrow morning I'll take the order.

recognizable Pekingese is the main thing!
for me, when customers begin to "vykozyulivat", I offer them a drawing, or mastic modeling, very rarely volumetric filling.

[aelita1702]

Girls, ran for a second, thank and answer questions)))
Thanks everybody! It's nice that you are interested in watching me))) In November I fly to Moscow to Mezesmanna for advanced training, so to speak, I hope to learn a lot) Now master classes are given by everyone who is not lazy, sometimes such terrible masters, so come to the choice of the master wisely, do not miscalculate)))) Well, Judith, she is something! A master class with all the travel costs is terribly expensive for me, but I think it's worth it))) So whoever has the opportunity, it seems there are a few places left for an advanced course, two days.
The program of the course and there will be another gingerbread, which I don’t know yet))) Of course, it’s a matter of correct toning, I’m far from being an artist and I don’t have time to study at an art school, so I’m going))) Well, it’s very interesting to see how Judith works )

🔗

aelita1702, Victoria, congratulations, this is really worth learning! And I gradually envy ... This year we will also have a master class, conducted by Olga Zimoglyad. He comes to us here, there is no need to spend money on the road, but to be honest, I did not see anything super valuable in the course program. In my opinion, the program is not worth the money that is asked

[elena88]

Girls, I can share the recipe for my icing, on albumin. Now I switched to powder, and before that I used the doll-making alteraising. I don’t want to scold him, but in the last game there was an icing that didn’t freeze at all. I got carried away, but not very much to my colleagues. The disadvantage of the finished mixture is that titanium dioxide is also added there, and therefore, if a rich color is needed, then much more dye is used. Now everything suits me and the result of the work is shown to you clearly)))


Regarding the craquelure, a not very pleasant story came out, as a result of which, we disagreed (this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) with many "crowned" masters. I will not tell, on instagram, on my page, a serious skirmish unfolded))) Everything is saved for history))))
In general, I started experimenting and I succeeded. The method is simple) I don’t distribute it for free, but (in a whisper) 30 times cheaper than what was offered on the gingerbread market, besides, it’s inedible at all)))) All questions, you know where)))

elena88, it seems, in your message, you asked two questions back? Me and Kitty, ))))))
The grid, of course, by hand, but with the help of a projector) Alphabet -10 cm.

Victoria, by icing. Do you make outlines and drawings with this, or do you dilute them a little? for filling, it is clear what you dilute. and the approximate proportions of water to your icing / for filling /

aelita1702, Victoria, can I have details about the courses? And questions about craquelure - where? )

join the question

I think in a personal, girls

Vika is in Vatsap, she has a number on her instagram.

in insta Vika is called @sweetstory_by_victoria
I can throw her watsap into your HP

Yes Liz please throw it off

Natkamor, this is the basic consistency, I make the contours with it, and for volumetric and simple pouring, of course I dilute with water)) here everything is already by sight, I can not probably tell you. Information on icing consistency can be found here on the forum. Girls, I studied everything here, I studied all the topics on this forum before starting to make gingerbread)))
You can use craquelure in a personal, but as Liza said, of course it's better in WhatsApp or Direct on Instagram, because I rarely go to my computer due to lack of time.

aelita1702, Vika, for sure! I gave everyone a bunch of questions in one post. Well, what can you do, already old, and all in a culture shock from what he saw. Thank you for understanding everything and answering your questions.

aelita1702, Vikulya, thank you for your creations !!

Girls. It turns out that Vika does not soak the protein ... how is that?

I don't know, I always use raw ...

[Elena.P]

Hello everyone! As a beginner, it is not yet clear to me, which pencil to transfer the drawing to the fill with? ... Here on the forum I read that you need to take a soft pencil, trace the drawing with it on one side, then turn it over, attach it to the frozen fill and trace again along the outline from above. The drawing is printed. Everything is clear with technology. Girls, what pencil do you use?

charcoal is best, it is safe and conditionally edible.

Vei Elizaveta, thank you very much! can you find in the usual clerical department?

Elena.P, I took it in an art store, but it seems to me that there should be such in the office.

Elizabeth, thank you! So finding it is definitely not a problem) We have a lot of art shops in our city, I'd better buy there.

Vei, Lisa, and to me, please, drop Vicky's address in Wotsap. And explain to me the wretched one: are charcoal and slate pencils different things? I never bothered about this, but suddenly here it is like ...

[Mona1]

Girls, I will report. The customer really liked the Pikinesse. She said that the main thing is that the muzzle is not round, but rectangular, of a breed type. In general, she is very happy, and so am I. Along the way with the pikines, I made gingerbread cookies according to the good old classic fairy tales for 2 years of my granddaughter Nastya. she will knock tomorrow.
She is already watching a little of these cartoons, many parents do not allow hanging around the computer.

Mona1, gingerbreads are just lovely! well, one to one cartoons !!

Wonderful gingerbread, Tanya, pure positive!

Tanechka, for the Pekingese - hurray !!!!!!! Thoroughbred!!! And these are lovely charms !!!!!

Mona1, Tanya, you're done! The gingerbread is super !!!

[Kitty]

I have recently made gingerbread as a gift for large orders, mostly a photo, not laborious, and customers are always happy)

Kitty, Tan, such good gifts are obtained.

[Kitty]

Girls, everyone has superb gingerbread!
Tanya, the cartoons are awesome! well done!
Kitty, Tanya, you have a riot of colors - very healthy !!!

and I also had a huge wedding order - cake + gingerbread, each guest took a picture of a gingerbread as a souvenir, it turned out badly)

[Kitty]

you have a riot of colors - very healthy!

: girl_love: no, this is a photo print) now it will be, a riot

Kitty, cool gifts! And Engri Bödz really is a riot of colors! Took a note until I did it yet.

Kitty, Tan, I really like your work!
They are so bright, festive! The quality, as always, is top notch!
Tell me, how are you doing the drawing on the gingerbread?
Do you look and sketch or transfer a preliminary drawing on the gingerbread with a pencil?
And I also wanted to ask about the boxes :)
Where do you order them?

thanks, I already wrote about transferring a picture to a gingerbread in this thread

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...010.0
I glue the boxes myself, I bought micro-corrugated cardboard in Prompack, it is convenient, a sheet of about 90-60 cm costs 10 UAH with delivery, I also make bows myself)))))))))

Thank you :) My memory is girlish, but I read.
I hope I remember from the second time

Well, you're just a jack of all trades!
I also buy in Prompack, I take it for cakes and cupcakes. But for gingerbread, I still can't find the optimal ones.
I never tried to do it myself ... And this is long?

for me, no, I make gingerbread by the size, very convenient, cardboard and a glue gun, and all the equipment) well, another ruler, scissors and a stationery knife. I do it myself for cakes, it comes out cheaper and is also convenient in size.

Well done! Just a jack of all trades!

I also had Barboskins (cake, gingerbread decor and painted as a gift) and drawing-Teddicks, inscriptions in Estonian, and left for Estonia)










can't understand why the quality drops when uploading to the Gallery?

[DIY icing cornets]

DIY icing cornets
Thank you girls! I am always afraid when there are a lot of colors and especially when you need quite a bit of some kind of icing for the lines, then a lot of unnecessary residues come out of the bag. So I armed myself with a dozen cornetics. I used to do it out of parchment and it didn’t work well, for some reason the icing stuck strongly in the nose, the cornet was unfolding, in general, darkness. And then I remembered that someone wrote about packages from tights, such as cellophane does not stretch, the line is uniform. Well, there are no tights, but there is a solid roll of cellophane. I wound the little bags (I remembered the experience from my childhood - at my grandmother's in the village, seeds were fried and in small bags. We sit on a bench in the evening with our friends, click), so as not to open, I fastened the edge with a piece of scotch tape. small bags, exactly 1 tsp. icing, that's what I need.From above, during work, I wrapped the edge and clamped it with a small clothespin. Whisper! I have Ateko nozzles, because the metal rounds out near the spout and gets hammered all the time, therefore, icing stagnates in this place, or something. And cellophane cornetics are smooth, straight, icing comes out with a bang. So now I have bags with nozzles only for large volumes, everything else is cornetics. .. And, and one more important plus - they do not need to be washed later, like a bag, an adapter and a nozzle. threw out - and truncated.! now in the evenings I will prepare them for future use.

Mona1, Tanya, I was talking about the bags. Isn't it convenient? I'm glad that my experience was useful to you.

Yeah, great, tomorrow I'll take a picture, I'll show who is interested in what kind of cornet bags it is.

Tan, you are the main size of the triangles, from which you twist the cornet, give it. To immediately know what to cut for such a scanty volume.

the cornet also needs to be twisted correctly) once learned a long time ago. I searched the internet for a long time. found it)
behold

🔗
🔗
🔗

Mona1, Tanyusha, thanks for the cornets!
Sometimes, indeed, you need a teaspoon of icing, but with nozzles, you get a lot of waste.

Mona1, Tanyusha, only you know how to take gingerbread with this approach

Tanya, and I applied like this. folded, according to the described method, and stapled it with a stapler. only the triangles are prepared in advance. for me scotch tape is long and dreary. then, when I filled it with icing, I wrapped the edge and also punched it with a stapler

NatkamorOh, by the way, yes, the stapler !!! I even have it!
And I also want to ask, is Lviv powder yours, is it on sale at no cost? You can refer to it at least what it looks like or the name of the company.

Natkamor, Mona1, girls, and how many have not tried to fold cornetics, they disintegrate with me. Therefore, everywhere I collect cellophane bags from under tights, toys, etc. I must also try with a stapler.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Kitty, Girls, Tanechki! Your gingerbreads are something with something !!!!!!!!!!! : girl_claping: Tell me please! Thin contour lines, do you draw with a brush or a marker?

thank you, Vera! : rose: i-brush, one. that is, thin

[Mona1]

Vera, I also have the same brush as Tanya.
Thank you, girls, really praised, nice. I'm thinking about baking these gingerbreads in the future, it's very difficult to draw a lot of flowers on not very large ones, so that they don't merge and don't look clumsy. thin lines will look thinner on the larger gingerbread, and the eyes are easier to draw when they are larger. My Little Red Riding Hood is 14 cm, I am thinking of making 16-17. But my lion cub is 9 * 9 cm, it was difficult to draw, at least 10-11 centimeters to make.
Do you know what was the most dreary thing when making these gingerbread? It's like Cinderella, sorting out the beans, and I was sorting through Easter noodles sprinkling all evening, separating yellow, white and brown from blue, raspberry and others. This is for the hedgehog's needles.

Mona1, Tanyusha, your gingerbread is charm! So kind and childish
I really want to celebrate your progress! Your last works are already the work of a master. Everything is high quality, neat, beautiful! Well done!
P.s. the eyes turned out great !!!

Girls, how many wonderful works you have shown in the last few days !!!
All gingerbread cookies are delicious! Without exception, I took them to my bookmarks :-)
Mona1, Tanya your works won me over!
You were afraid to draw faces, but you get them great, Pikines also turned out to be credible :-)
I keep thinking, when will you stop worrying about upcoming orders in vain?

Sahara, Lera, I want yours !!!!!!!!!!!!

Katerina79, Katyusha, thank you, it came out like this, probably because it was done for my favorite, granddaughter. Well, how can I do something wrong to her. Before work, I asked my grandma, who is no longer in this world, to help me do my job well, to support my hand, which may wiggle in the wrong direction, in general, it seems that higher powers helped me, thank you!
Sahara, Lera, but I will always worry, because there is so much more that I have not done. They ordered a vase for the 22nd, I kind of wrote here, but the flowers were canceled on the vase itself, they ask to create something like this, a fairy, the very first on the left, only with long hair. I put it under the spoiler, otherwise right there a photo of not my gingerbread

Probably, the hair peeking out to the right should be removed, but somehow from the bottom to the left of the dress or below it somehow peeked out so that it was kind of long. Draw the wings separately on the file, pour heavily liquid icing for transparency and then put them on the gingerbread fill, only they are so fragile, they can break when they are removed from the file, it will be necessary to do it with a margin

My dear, so I'm sculpting for Halloween right now
Yes, and after such cool gingerbread, sho the girls showed me here, it’s somehow awkward for me to flicker here with my mazyukas With my stream, there’s no time to sprinkle over the accuracy and grace
Although, maybe I will show the latest works, maybe someone will find the idea useful

Sahara, oh Lera, Halloween! And I kind of forgot about him. You see, you are all covered in gingerbread for this holiday, that you rarely appear even, and I am such a fool, I even forgot about it. ))) Well, we urgently need to come up with something!

Girls, and I liked Vicki's pumpkins very much.

and I basically ignore Halloween, this is the most hmm ... demonic "holiday" for me, and I don't want to work for this event

Again, I agree, but this does not negate the beauty of wiki pumpkins

a similar situation in "our collective farm" and I never take priests, breasts and other body parts to order, this is fundamentally for me.

and I agree with that. And I often see beautiful pumpkins and want to repeat them, but these pumpkins are always associated with Halloween, and not with a wedding or DR / NG and so on. Therefore, I skip the pumpkins.
Tanya, I still don’t do Monster High, and I don’t plan body parts, although no one has asked for them yet.

and then! what a demonic! I have a birthday on November 1, I don't want to work on this day

demons tried not otherwise

And I haven't celebrated my birthday for fifteen years already. This is not a women's holiday in my opinion. (I always have depression on this day) What good is it that I have aged a year? You rush around for a day like a fly in dill: you are a cleaner, you are a cook, a pastry chef, a waiter, and a dishwasher ... And you should look like a queen. You can't wait until the day is over to crawl to bed. She barely taught her relatives to happily push themselves without an invitation. She once said in plain text that an uninvited guest is worse than a Tatar. This is after many years of hints that partying in my DR does not give me pleasure. Now everyone is only congratulating on the phone. Especially zealous on one leg drop by with a gift, drank tea and go home. And the birthday of a husband or child is a sacred thing I spin to the fullest.

Tanya, Tanya. cool! The hedgehog is cool!

Len, in our family the problem was solved very simply with adult birthdays, on this day we do only barbecue and that's it !! well, and men are engaged in kebabs in our country, in general, beauty turns out, there is no need to cook, there is a minimum of dishes, well, maybe just chop bread from work, and marinate onions and I bake a cake, but this is in advance)) so these days we are queens - to anyone
and it is much cheaper than preparing a bunch of dishes, salads, snacks, and bring-serve all day

[Nastyush]

She didn't say anything about sifting. But she has a beast apparatus, my Boshik does not pull this. So I'm still inclined to believe that my icing is just undershoot. And I will throw fishing rods for my husband about Kesha

I read your correspondence, girls. You really don't need to sift Lviv powder, only a teaspoon will remain on organza from a kilogram. Very fine powder. Unless it was caked thoroughly, then you need to sow. True, the last time there was a lot of starch in the powder, which was not noticed before, but this is not about him now.
The graininess really can be with undershoot, such icing has not the same elasticity-plasticity, it is suitable for drawing, but it is problematic to pull the strings. You can wipe the mixture between your fingers, if the grains are well felt, it means that the large powder was caught, if not, then try to beat it.
And Bosch, it seems to me, has nothing to do with it.I have a handbrake and a hospital - Boshiki, I use them alone. After all, icing needs to be whipped at low speed, and Bosch is just not a frisky little animal, it works confidently, but slowly. I think that just a little bit longer to beat the mixture and everything will be great. Sometimes you have to whip for 15-20 minutes, but basically within ten minutes the icing is ready.

Nastyushhow glad I am to see you here!

Vei, Lizochek, I dropped in in passing)))) In general, I completely tied the gingerbread cookies, so I don't look here too much now

and I, on the contrary, return to them again, because I am drawn to them and that's it)) but when the question arose to make only gingerbread, but in an adult way, I got a sore throat from the longing for cakes)))

[Sahara]

Girls, I understand your attitude to such holidays, but still I live in the heart of Europe and such holidays are the traditions of my ancestors, although recently they began to be held in a more modern style, but as before in a comic mood.
In fact, Halloween is very similar to Christmas carols, on the night of October 31, people appease the spirits, ghosts and other mystical brethren with sweet gifts, November 1 is All Saints Day, and November 2 is Memorial Day for the departed relatives and friends, although in Transcarpathia, why then it is on November 1 that everyone comes to the cemetery to decorate the graves and light candles of memory.
Still, I will show my test cakes on this topic, something worked out, but something I am terribly unhappy with.
The size on a stick is 5-6 cm, the rest of the figures are from 9-13 cm.

Sahara, Ler, super set! What a funny pumpkin, I will definitely make it, and the spider smiled in a Hutsul hat.

Sahara, Lera, five points for the set. Regardless of our attitude to the holiday, craftsmanship and creativity are admirable. Molodechik!

Lera, super! I am not very good at monsters, but I liked these gingerbread cookies. They are awesome!

Girls, you are lovely, and so are your works. and I'm like that monkey, I don't know who to join. Either smart, or beautiful. I don’t understand what I like better. On cakes there is more income, gingerbreads bring pleasure. And I also don’t want to go to work because it takes a lot of time from my favorite hobby.
and in the end, neither one nor the other works for me

Sahara, Lerochka, the set is very cute and not scary at all!

Lera, cute gingerbread !!!

Lera, cool gingerbread! I always admire how many colors you use! By the way, I don't like Halloween either, like Valentine's Day, but I make gingerbread. ON Halloween asked to make skulls in a nightclub, made them "boy" and "girl". It turned out they were from monster high. But I liked them, they are funny. Tomorrow I'll post a photo, today it's quite a disaster with time

Yeahhhh? Oh, well, so to scrap ... Liz, well, since you recommend so strongly, you have to strain. Moreover, today the parent committee in the garden has taken care of me 45 gingerbread for the New Year's party of our children. We need to look for ideas. I did it for my nephews last year.

Vei, oh, Lisa, I almost lost it. I went there to register, and there not only an address and a password must be, but also subscribe to some crap, and five topics must be selected, and then registration on Twitter or Facebook. I have neither the one nor the other. Well, I don’t go to social media. networks! I have it in OK and then I only keep some pictures there. I don't communicate with anyone. So on Facebook, registration is paid. Do I need it? And the main thing is that both Twitter and Facebook require some kind of password. I enter my password, they are not satisfied with it. So I have a password on my tablet that I don't know about? Why, by the way, is it impossible to just go in and rummage around without registration? Some stupid rules. Maybe I'll take a look and won't come there again, but I need to register there for half a day? In general, I spat for the second time today and left there.

elena88, Lena, for the first time I hear from you about paid registration on FB, is everything really changing so quickly ??? But I also went to pinterest without registering from a tablet, only he showed me everything crookedly. I registered there through the FB and for a long time already ... It's just that Ira Dolars constantly showed cakes from there and all different beauty in the ambulance, I couldn't stand it - I registered. Now, for any order, I first look there.

Oh, and I registered there about two hours ago, now it's just impossible to tear yourself away! Virgin, this is such a place, well, just a Klondike! I registered through Facebook, I was already registered on it. FSE, now I have disappeared there. I have already read how to make side frames for heart-shaped boxes, I have thrown a bunch of Halloween gingerbreads from far away into the store, so many ideas and new solutions. Regret, come on, lazy people!

I also crawled from the tablet by some miracle. I don't even know how. Something rushed. A good place. If not for such a hassle with registration, I would be delighted, probably. And so already there was no strength left for emotions. I'll crawl to sleep. Tomorrow we need to decide on the design of children's New Year's gingerbread, so as not to sit over them for too long and the design is unbroken, so that the most interesting is. All the same to me to Lera, as to a star. And for me forty is a lot.

and here is my page on Pinterest, I've already trained so much there! enough for all occasions!

and Lisa is right, there is so much there that .... even time is not enough to cover everything !!

DaNiSa, Alain, when I entered the address and password there, an inscription like this rolled out: by clicking on the "register" button, you agree with the rules of the FB, you can receive an SMS on your phone, the payment is standard. I didn’t bother to figure out what the standard payment was. Some dubious divorce for money. I still don't understand why Pintrest needs this registration in social networks? And he didn't want to let me go without her. The banner hangs on the entire screen of the tablet: "choose TV or Fb to find your friends there in Pintrest." Maybe this is just such garbage for the iPad? All social networks and Instagram also require some kind of iPad password from him. I even have no idea what it is in theory? Maybe when my husband installed all the programs on the tablet, he hammered in some kind of password in order to get access somewhere. This is Apple, he has his own troubles with a license. But I somehow leaked sideways into Pintrest. I don’t know if my persistence helped, or did they have a momentary weakness after midnight? In short, now I don't close this page, otherwise they suddenly won't be allowed in again ...

elena88, elena88, Len, I have an iPad, and no problems with pinterest. Download the app from pinterest and that's it. Labuda, to which you had to subscribe (but also not necessary) - they want to find out your interests so that you do not have anything in your feed. If you have a registration in the fb, you don't even need to register, you click on: register through fb and they take all the data from there. and if not, no problem either, just very much via app. And be sure to subscribe! This is just a storehouse of ideas, skill and master classes!

Lena. Well, once you can be patient.Then new items are also sent to the email, and for free

Girls who find it difficult to figure out on Pinterest, register first in the post. RU. These are absolutely identical pages, only in Russian (all information material is different, of course!)

elena88, most likely it was about the cost of SMS. So far, all social networks are free.DaNiSa, signed up for you.

Vei, DaNiSa, Liza, Alena, I subscribed to you there. My name is there Souvenir gingerbread
My page is there 🔗 , so if anyone wants, you can subscribe too. I, however, have not yet trained anything, until I really understood how to do it, I copy it to my computer in the old fashioned way, but in general, I looked more yesterday and admired it.

Vera, if you click on the photo, then underneath it says: Found on the WWW website .... You click there and you get to this picture, I got to the Cook's website on Temka, where it was told how to do this about this box. But, of course, there are many more foreign sites there, but I can read a little in English there too.

Tanya, Ahh, I see, otherwise there is only a description of it under the photo

Larissa u, Lar, first tell me what an app from pinterest is. You know, I learned to press two buttons on the tablet, and then either the mind is not enough, or just laziness.

elena88, Len, you should have a blue icon on your display, and in it the letter A in white. This is a store where you buy all sorts of programs (you download many of them for free). You go there (click on this icon) and ask -pinterest in the search engine, and then click download (download). Be sure to master it, there are a lot of interesting things, and about cakes too! All sorts of app by calculation, recipes, etc.

Larissa u, Larochka dear, thank you! Now I will bake gingerbread and sit down to study.
