We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Nehorushka]

Hello everyone! Here I have a little bit of New Year's.
For some reason, there is not enough time for anything, so there are very few riders, although there were a lot of plans ...

Nehorushka, your gingerbread cookies are cute, and so they look kindly
and from the comments - this is the fill, it is a little thick for you

Adorable deer! And the snowman is cute!

I adapted a bottle for mustard and mayonnaise for icing. I bought it at the Metro. Mustard is poured into it and it should be on the table in the dining rooms.
I'm very comfortable. I fill with icing and draw with one hand, slightly pressing on the soft sides. The density of icing does not allow it to flow out without light pressure.

Here the set happened to me. The girl asked for Christmas decorations to decorate the Christmas tree with the children, and then eat together. Size 8cm. The dough is mine. Series "Decorating the Christmas tree"

wonderful set! please, please us with your sets more often

Alena, thanks!

elena88, wonderful set, New Year's!

Lena, your gingerbread cookies are so neat, bright, festive. I like it very much!

[Yrochka]

Hello girls, dear!
How much beauty in two weeks, until I came!
I'll be back for a minute, say thank you!
Before the New Year, there is always a pilgrimage in all sources of communication with a request to throw in a recipe for festive pastries. I used to write recipes in detail, freaked out that they were distracting and couldn't see for themselves on the Internet. And now I'm sending everyone here, at the beginning of the topic, the third post from the top! I already have a collection of thanks and a photo of the result of many recipes from there. And although I myself have tried not everything from the list, I give the link with peace of mind. Perfect recipes!
And it seems like the time is, to do what it turns out, but more. And I got hooked on mezeshkalachi. Again and exclusively thank you! And I learned so many new words. Does it look like scrolling? Or not really?

Yrochka, I can't take my eyes off, I even feel sorry for such beauty. how much work !!!

Yrochka, Ir, do not enter into a stupor! I don't know who the scrolls are, but what you brought is incredibly beautiful!

Irina, what interesting work you have! So much new! I like it very much!

[Monkeys]

Hello girls!
I'm a rare guest here)))), but a constant, secret admirer !!!
I always read everything, look, follow with pleasure your work!
I want to show my gingerbread,.

Snowmen , dough from Lera.

Matanya, Tanya, what cool characters! What an unmatched fill job! Did you airbrush it? I liked everything. But most of all, of course, Santa Claus. Now you can find a bunch of interesting Santa Clauses, but with our grandfather things are going tight. And here is such a charm! Where did you get the sketch? All in all, nice work!

Did you airbrush it?

Lena, I'm sorry, I just noticed your post! Thanks for the praise!
I shaded it with dry dyes. I don't have an airbrush. And I found pictures on the Internet.

Matanya, Tanya, very cool work!
Stylish, high quality!

And my husband gave me aero for DR. Two weeks already. No time to practice. After NG, I'll start.

Tanya, your gingerbread cookies are great and very timely! all are very beautiful! did everything carefully! well done!

Well, little things))), mezeshkalach, varnish, icing.
These are the ones that are pretty quick))))

[elena88]

Girls, how much beauty! Everything is very beautiful! Especially Christmas trees from elena88 and mezelkashi from Handcuffs.
elena88, thanks for the support! It won't get any closer - eaten, given away :).
My New Year's composition.

NataNala, very merry Christmas gingerbread! but look, on the trees and boots there is a fill with uneven edges. Means, flowed. Therefore, either you need to make the icing thicker, or draw a thicker contour and fill it with a liquid background. It will be much more accurate.

[Elya]

Hi girls! Forgive me for disappearing, my hands did not reach to write and there were no photos. I have posted so many beautiful things, I can’t comment yet, it will be necessary later. Today I took pictures of gingerbreads, brought them to show. Gingerbread at the fair. I have so many desires and ideas that I didn’t know what to choose, in the end I didn’t too hard.
Mazeshkalach, icing, varnish glaze in Lerin's version (thank you very much, cool, and it turned out blue). Caramel windows. I did this: I baked gingerbread. I spread it with lacquer glaze, laid it on parchment, poured 1 teaspoon of crushed duchess caramel into the hole. In the oven for 100-150 C for 3-5 minutes. It is impossible to exceed the temperature, even 150 is a lot, the caramel bubbles strongly and there are not burst bubbles in the cooled caramel.

Elya, sorry, dear! I have always praised you and rejoiced at your gingerbread, and today I will praise you for the variety and creativity, but I will scold you for your negligence. Apparently she was in a hurry, because the unevenness of the fill catches the eye, the lines are crooked, the curls are rough. Ale dear, keep your brand! Most of all I liked the mittens-felt boots. Neat like that. I liked the color of the varnish and blue, and red, and green successful. He lay down very well on gingerbread. The monkeys came out well. Cheerful, cute. But the last one, where a year of monkeys, looks quite sloppy. Listen, our stained glass trees are almost the same. I also had a round window. Now I'll see if I managed to take a picture or so they ate it. And I pour caramel into ready-made gingerbread. I melt it right in the micron and pour it into gingerbreads lying on a non-stick fabric. Then they cooled down and are easily removed.

Lena, thank you, I am not offended, because I myself see the shortcomings, I will correct in the last monkeys with a brush, and she is disheveled, here is the result. In general, the trouble with him is that I did not dry and pack it well, but I took it out at the fair, and the paints blurred with moisture, so he stayed for the house.

such a variety of shapes and sizes! clever, hard worker!
I will just say a couple of comments - the lips of the granddaddies are too .. mmm ... big in my opinion, just so lip
and the monkey is a little bug-eyed, is there time to fix it? in their eyes to draw full pupils, not dots?

Oh, I didn't have time to take a picture with the stained-glass window! These were the ones, only with a round candy window, like yours. And then the photo from the phone.

Your tree is cool!

[TiLDA]

And the last gingerbread this year, waiting for packing

TiLDA, Natasha, it's nice to see so many gingerbread cookies at once. You begin to realize that not only in your kitchen all surfaces are covered with gingerbread, but also in your colleagues. As they say, with whom you will lead - so you need it!

TiLDA, beauty, but hard to see.
I have trays pushed up higher, because there are two gingerbread eaters - a son of 1 year and 4 months and a cat.

TiLDA, Natasha, very beautiful and neat gingerbread! Well done!

wonderful work! check it out in ok yet!

[elena88]

Girls, amazing jobs for everyone! there is no time to comment at all.
Lena will only tell the truth, uterus, current out of love for your art))) elena88, Helen, the last white tree is simply fantastic, with all the simplicity of execution it looks unrealistically elegant, beautiful and festive! But I did not like the set for the Christmas tree with its color scheme. Either the color rendition is the same, but I think that this is not the point, after all, but they look gloomy. The colors are not bright and not juicy in such a combination, so they lose out to your other works. Although everything is done very efficiently and beautifully, that's why it's a pity! I think that the yellow-lilac or coral-green options looked more juicy and bright.In such cases, I save the situation with brighter and more contrasting ribbons to make the overall impression more colorful.

And I came to show off my cub, she baked gingerbreads herself, painted them herself, packed them herself and took pictures herself while I was busy or slept in snatches between orders. She took the icing from my leftovers, and then Ostapaponeslo, and without my permission she mixed red paint herself and made herself a pouring icing. Correct, I will say, she did))) In general, for her 8 years she did a great job and provided all the grandparents with gifts. On each gingerbread, she wrote the initials of the donee)))

As for my set, then you are absolutely right. Thank you for not passing by. I will take into account the colors. But the set was supposed to be on a white Christmas tree and balanced with bright glass toys. The girl has already sent a photo to her phone. Sorry, I can't insert. It looks good. So it ended well

And I also want to dilute your New Year's theme with musical gingerbread, which they ordered for young musicians for a children's party.

Vei, Liza, your gingerbread is of course good, I can't say anything, but your daughter still surpassed you. some adult craftswomen never dreamed of this! And your guitars are like real ones. although there was probably more fuss with the pianos.

Vei, Liza, my daughter has excellent gingerbread!
Some adult aunts paint gingerbread like that, but here a child is 8 years old! Smart girl!
Yours, of course, are awesome!

for his age it is fantastic! and I have someone to compare! my son 7 years old and niece 12 years old tried to draw with icing, so I'll tell you, your daughter is almost a pro

Vei, musical incomparable, jewelry work

Liza, incredible beauty! not surprisingly, they are the only people who want to buy. You are such a hard worker, and your daughter is an assistant, then you organize a gingerbread artel!

[Vei]

Forgive me, my dears, but I will again spam you with my grandfathers and snow maidens, what can I do, I have them every day)))

Vei, Lisa, they're great! Now these Klaus are all around. And here are my grandfathers. And the Snow Maidens are good

and spam, spam, we will only be happy with your gingerbread

Vei, Liza Snow Maidens and grandfathers are very cool!
And you drew a kandurin on every Snow Maiden?

yes, the fur coats are all painted with kandurin.

[Vei]

And I finally gathered my "Surprise Balls" into a pile. My dough, Lera's varnish (another thank you) poured a lot of paint. This blue came out inside the gingerbread and candy. The diameter in my opinion is 8cm. Snowflakes on balls - lace on the 2nd Marlezon ballet.
Vei, Lisa, now I was able to insert a Christmas tree in a gingerbread decoration. In combination with toys and lighting, nothing seems to look like this.

awesome! very nice!

yes it looks very nice! I personally like it!

elena88, Lena, what wonderful works you have!
Always very interesting, original and high quality!
Cool balls!

Alyona, Katerina79, thanks for the praises!

Lena, gorgeous balls !!! I would buy myself! The tree is gorgeous, everything is so harmonious, both toys and light.
I went to pour the gingerbread, urgently need 7 large gingerbread.

girls and when is it better to make holes in gingerbread? what then to hang on the tree?

it is better to do it before baking, because after baking, very not neat holes can turn out. with torn edges, but if the tool is sharp, with which you make holes (for example, a nozzle for a cream), then it is possible after baking, but immediately, while the gingerbread is still hot

thank you very much for your reply!

[Vera]

Girls, I'm sorry I can't comment on everyone ... But all the gingerbread cookies are enchantingly beautiful! I really liked Lena's balls and her tree, Liza's musical instruments and Santa Clauses, but there are no words for her daughter, such a smart girl is not for her age. I regularly go to Temka, read, admire your sets of Christmas tree gingerbread decorations and really miss the gingerbread business.Now I will show what I did, but only so that the pictures would not disappear. Decorated while standing, put a box on the table, and a plank on top to make it more convenient (I can't sit yet). there were 60 such gingerbread. Today I finished the last 20 pieces. Maybe not original, but regular customers were happy with this too

live they are actually better

Vera, this is heroism! Bright, funny gingerbread. May the coming New Year be just as bright and joyful for you.

Girls! thanks for the praise, support and congratulations. I still have a baked gingerbread house and a little icing left, but I still can't risk painting and assembling it. My hands tremble from the drugs I take. Most likely, it will remain unadorned. Or maybe I'll buy some kind of gummies, cookies and stick it on.

Vera, you are just a heroine, so much beauty! I haven't forgotten about clients, now think about yourself. Call yourself an assistant (tsu) and let them do it under your guidance. Or maybe potential buyers of the house have children who will gladly take part in the decoration.

[Verun]

Verun , I read it and just wanted to write that you are a heroically resistant person, as Lenchik got ahead of me. The gingerbreads are wonderful and tasty, and this is what customers need.
And today I arranged the last working day, tomorrow I will give some orders and I have to skimp at the store, make salads, clean up, arrange a bath with aromatic oils, a mankurik, all the cases. To return the energy of freshness to me, so to speak, otherwise I look like a driven horse. ))). So I have three days to recover. Then to celebrate Christmas, I did something, I brought it to show. The diameter of the double candlestick is 12.5 cm, the other single ones are 10.5 cm each.

Tanya, very beautiful candlesticks! so on New Year's look!

and my customers are categorically against gingerbread candlesticks. I was unpleasantly surprised by this (((

Why? I also do not like the idea. Although beautiful, I do not deny it.

[Happy New Year to you!]

Girls, Happy New Year, Happy New Happiness! Let life be beautiful and sweet, like our gingerbread cookies. I found a rhyme about gingerbread in the internet, just in time for the New Year

"Wolves, hares and bears decorate the tree,
The branches are fluffy and needles shine.
At the top of the head - a star shines with a scarlet shine,
And under the tree - gingerbread! They are cramped under the tree!
Take out the gingerbread and put it on the table ...
Steam came out of the kettle! Guests, come in! "

Dyulger T.

And a few more interesting gingerbread cute poems, they are under the spoiler

Rye glazed gingerbread
I was so sweet to a child's heart
Follow him to the store early
The irrepressible people were in a hurry.

Anxious heart was pounding
And the gaze was directed to the scales,
When the seller let go
Ten kopecks one hundred grams.

Oh, you are my coveted carrot!
I remember how, passionately loving,
Going home without fail
I gnawed at you tirelessly.

Embarrassed by passers-by, furtively,
I relished everything with you
And seemed like a sweet fairy tale
I smell your intoxicating.

Yes, the gingerbread is different now,
The former are not a match at all.
So the memory keeps dear ones
Distant summer childhood
Where it was careless and more beautiful
Than in our complex today.
Khlopkova V.

*****

Who came up with the secret
It is not known exactly.
Maybe grandma, maybe grandfather
We kneaded the dough.
Of flour and molasses
Gingerbread was baked.

Chorus:
Russian gingerbread,
Sweet, minty,
For fragrant tea
A noble treat.

If the cold was raging
Of the weary wanderers
Warmed in the rain and cold
Tea from a samovar.
Well, for tea, the pilgrims
Gingerbread was served.

We are waiting for all friends
We heartily meet
Pies and pancakes
We treat with tea.

Kuprevich V., Khotimskiy M.

*****

I know life was hard.
So what are you bothering about?
Sit in front of a cup -
Maybe you want some tea.
You taste, taste
Gingerbread is a Russian delicacy.
Impossible until the grave
To cry at your fate.
Widows walk merrily,
No worries, light.
Sweet gingerbread, honey
In a friend's hand.
Kuznetsova S.

And my printed gingerbread is sweet.
And my printed gingerbread is with honey.
The years were imprinted on it
and now the glaze beckons - with gold.

I'll tell you a story.
I'll tell you the truth.
As I was among all - right,
I even said hello to the left.

I still chewed my sweet gingerbread,
I treated the king with honey.
I liked him - like:
After all, kings are greedy for sweets.

And imprinted right into the soul.
And the seal left a wound.
Eh, my king! No security needed:
The passion for sweets will probably dry up.

Would you not love, my king, with honey,
You would not like glaze gold.
Good cards would fall
Before the newborn year.

Kulikova Yu.

*****

- Vanilla and mint!
Snowflakes and firebirds!
So fragrant!
With raisins and cinnamon!

With nuts, with candied fruits,
With a pattern of pistachios!
Horses with cubs
And a little white lamb!

Look, the boat is small
And the captain is on it! ..

- Come on, you gingerbread!
Well, grandpa! Let's go to!

Ignatova A.

*****

Somehow, sitting at the gate,
I chewed wheat bread
And the peasant boy Gleb
Without breathing, he looked into my mouth.

Suddenly he grunted, looking sideways:
"Give me a little bit too!"
I cut off on a log
A solid piece.

Excellent appetite!
Instantly the peasant boy Gleb,
Like a shark, ate his bread
And again he looks into my mouth.

"Delicious?" the boy beamed:
"Bydto gingerbread! Give ischo!"
I replied, "Okay"
Shyly shrank and wilted ...

Gingerbread? .. This white bread
From a man's wheat -
Today for two dimes
Your father sold me, Gleb.

my gingerbreads on the tree

(now I noticed that XP Gallery distorts the photo)

ledi, Vera, gingerbread looks great on a Christmas tree!

Thank you! I also like it, but they smell !!!!!!!

[Tanya]

TanyaWhat cool rhymes !!!!!!!!! Already smiled! : girl_love: Happy New Year to you too!Happy New Year to you girls !!!!!!!

[Will icing work if there is starch in the powdered sugar?]

Will icing work if there is starch in the powdered sugar?

Girls-craftswomen, all a happy holiday! And I have a little question, I want to make a house for Christmas and decorate gingerbread cookies, I bought powder without thinking, and it contains 3% corn starch, is it very, very bad or tolerable? I mean, will it turn out to be normal icing or not even try?

suvoyka, Masha, it will work out, don't worry! It can only, if the embroidery is made thin, then it is problematic, the nozzle will clog, and so it is normal. There is starch in almost all the powder, it is added from the lumpiness of the powder.

Mona1thank you for making me hopeful! So the powder is good to the touch, of course, I sift it again, but I read about starch and was upset ...

suvoyka, Maria, Hungarian women also add starch to their icing, although I don't see a positive meaning in this, but they create unreal beauty!

Thank you, Elizabeth, then all the more I will not worry, to unreal beauty for me, of course, as to China on foot, but I will try!

[Pretty girls!]

Pretty girls! Happy New Year with a new happiness! Health, well-being !!! Good clients, a lot of decent work and creative inspiration !!!
Mona1, Tanya, what a good selection, did not read about gingerbread before.In my head only the penalty is spinning, today in "Old songs about the main thing" they recalled "Kolorovi fairs", and there about "From the pernik khata" (gingerbread houses)
ledi, Vera, gingerbread looks great on a Christmas tree!

[Nata333]

Hello girls!
I have very little experience in decorating gingerbread (maybe when the assistants grow up, there will be a little more time)
So, I faced such a problem

I baked gingerbread according to Lera Sahara recipe, they lay for 3 weeks, varnished some, and painted on these stripes, and left them until the next free time ...
Then frosts of -20C began and the batteries began to warm up so much that everyone walks naked and constantly ventilates, because there is nothing to breathe.
I took out the gingerbread ... and there is such beauty: the icing stripes were torn off the gingerbread together with the top smooth thin layer of the gingerbread itself. Moreover, there is no such holiday on lacquered surfaces ...
Is the gingerbread so dry or ...
I would like to understand where the error is, so as not to repeat it.

Nata333In order for the icing to hold tight, it is always better to varnish. I can't say anything about Lera's dough. I don’t know if he has any peculiarities. I baked only once and then forgot to put the powder

Nata, Were there packed gingerbread?

No, on the dostochka lay without packaging from the 29th. I was still hoping that I was about to have a couple of hours free. Yeah, someone will definitely fall asleep late, and the rest will wake up early

Nata333Natasha, your gingerbread has simply dried up, and this is not a feature of my dough, any gingerbread in the open form loses its moisture in 3 weeks, especially since you say that the apartment has begun to heat up more.
I store gingerbread cookies in large plastic containers with tight lids.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

[Lada2014]

Good afternoon, dear craftswomen.
Happy New Year to you and your families. I wish you creative victories and health.
Tell me please. Have you bought forms in the form of a print with a drawing, a stamp. It seems to me that the print of the drawing will be changed when baking.
What do you think?

Lada2014, Lena, prints are not for such a test. Rather, for cookies or a type of Tula gingerbread.

Helen, here are my gingerbread cookies with a print ... The drawing is saved

silva2, and what dough?

elena88, gingerbread dough * Katazhinka. *

silva2, well, here I am about the same. Perhaps such a long-lasting dough, like Tula, will hold an impression. And about what we are using here, I don't think it will work.

[elena88]

Girls, I finally got my hands on the symbol of the year. Well, the Chinese NG has not yet arrived, so I plan to make a couple more wishes with monkeys, otherwise I did not get to interesting designs behind these snowflake stars. My husband said that this is my portrait. In some ways, I agree with him.

This is where I first tried my airbrush. I liked the first experience. Now I will be bolder to use it

elena88, Lena, just a plague monkey! Shoes - finally a cool idea.))

Girls, thanks for the praise! I also really liked the monkey and by all means wanted to translate it into a gingerbread. And then there was an untested air. In general, my hands were itching. And she didn't make up her lips, so they were unpainted in the sketch. I'm afraid to spoil it.

elena88, Flax, funny monkey! It's a rather complicated picture for me, but how did you translate it into gingerbread? Did you airbrush in a circle with yellow paint? Looks good, I also dream of an airbrush, but I just can't decide which one to take. I have a new compressor from the nebulizer, I think maybe you can somehow adapt the nebulizer to it.
Lena, what is your airbrush? Did you take it on Ali by any chance?
And I also want to thank you for showing me where and what mats for the trays I took.
I ordered from the same seller, I have already received it and I am using it, I do not get excited, the bottom of the gingerbread is smooth and beautiful.
Thank you very much!

Sahara, Lera, I am so glad that you became the owner of this wonderful fabric and you liked it too! It's nice when you can share a successful find with your colleagues. As for the airbrush, I took a compressor with an airbrush in the kit. The simplest. But she wrote to Tao bao. Because half of the orders do not come from Ali. And on Tao I order through a joint venture intermediary. Everything is clear there.
🔗

elena88, Lena, the monkey is super cool!
And what are these rugs, about which Lera wrote? I even missed. I bake on baking paper, but what is the advantage of using a rug?

cool monkey !! super!

Girls, they ask me again about rugs. In order not to answer everyone, I will write again in the topic
🔗
It's such a non-stick fabric. Reusable. When cut open, enough for two standard baking trays. Easy to clean. Well, and the difference is the wrong side. On the right on the fabric, on the left on the paper.

[elena88]

elena88, Lena! Super, cool monkey, also in shoes. Why didn't you make up your lips?
I have some more gingerbread. Some are very clumsy, but "maєmo te, sho maєmo".

Elya_lug, Elya, snowflakes with snowmen are cool, it's a pity, I don't have a snowflake cut, I could also stir up this.

Mona1, Tanya, I also do not have snowflakes cut down, I painted on cardboard, though it took a long time to cut, and the edges are lost when baking, but I made a lot of snowflakes.

Elya_lug, Elichka, well, straight gingerbread is crazy!
But all the same, to tell the truth, you are a hurry! It can be seen that she painted in a hurry, usually your gingerbread is much more accurate, but most likely, you were in great demand.

Elya, I join Lera's opinion. I think that after the New Year's park there will be more time and you will surprise us with your masterpieces.

Mona1, Tan, and I managed to write out a set of 9 snowflakes. Straight bastard!

I liked the angels the most. and faces can be drawn with a felt-tip pen, and minions

Girls, Lena, Lera, Thank you. Of course, I'm in a hurry, on December 31, they said about the fair on January 2.3, I had nothing, including time. So I was in a hurry, baked during the day, painted at night, until 4-5 o'clock in the morning, sleep for a couple of hours and get up to pack and go. I also have homemade powder, the nozzles clog, I draw from a cornet, the lines do not turn out to be thin. It's good that my husband is on vacation and tolerates my gingerbread and sits with children.
DaNiSa, Alyona, thank you, there is no food felt-tip pen, and I am not doing well with a brush, so without a face. The angels were dismantled almost immediately. I baked it again, I'm going to draw for tomorrow, again I didn't have time to do anything in the afternoon, my cuckoo didn't sleep during the day. And, in general, I drew minions by hand directly on the gingerbread, although in an amicable way it was necessary to cast on the file so that the lines were perfect. Maybe next. if so I will. I liked working on the file, I drew about 20 monkeys.

Flax, and in the summer I bought a mat for flexible icing "Snowflakes", I dreamed of making lace and sticking it on gingerbread for the new year. But the first pancake, as they say, is lumpy, either the pectin is not the same, or I am not that, in general, everything is broken, it tastes disgusting, I am upset. In short, such garbage.

Mona1, Tan, the taste is certainly not ice, but together with the gingerbread it is quite edible. I decorated the balls with such snowflakes. Nothing broke. Maybe you mixed it thick or dried it for a long time?

[Husky]

Girls, tell me who uses organza fabric for sifting powdered sugar? Is this fabric all the same in weave density? Wow! How can I explain ... the cells are big? It is difficult to sift sah through it. powder? The same as through a sieve or more difficult? I have something that slips through a sieve, that through this rag. Equally fast. And nifiga there is nothing left. I bought organza at a florist shop.

Husky, Lyuda, I don't sow through organza - I'm lazy. But of course it can be of different density.

Lena, so I thought that sowing through her was dreary! But it turned out to be no more difficult than through a sieve.

Husky, Luda, I used to sow through organza. I bought it at a fabric store.It is very dense, the cells are not visible at all. Sowing, of course, is very dreary.
But for the standard painting of gingerbread, this is not necessary, as I later found out for myself.
I have a minimum nozzle PME 1, it is enough to sift it through a fine sieve.

I also never use organza because of laziness - I only use a sieve until everything suits me, but it is definitely different, in some topic they even put up a photo, though it was a long time ago and I don't remember who, where and when

[Lada2014]

Good afternoon everyone, dear craftswomen! Happy New Year! Happiness and health to all in the coming year!
Lada2014,

Tell me please. Have you bought forms in the form of a print with a picture, a stamp. It seems to me that the print of the drawing will be changed when baking.
What do you think?

Lena, I made gingerbread with patterns from Gerda's dough, the dough was about 5 months old. The drawing is perfectly preserved. True, I did the drawing not with a stamp, but on a lace rug. Here's what happened:

Stunned !!! How lovely! I'll take a note. But five months in the fridge is cool! It is necessary to make the dough from the summer. Again, I come to the conclusion that the dough should be matured for a long time. So, we have to do it now for Easter.

tomabsw, very beautiful! And my dough after such exposure crumbled and it was impossible to roll it out, and it has been in the refrigerator in the vegetable drawer since spring. I made a house from him. but it turned out not smooth, warmed up the dough on a battery, so that it would become softer, that is, rolled it out warm

elena88, This is not on purpose) I made a gingerbread as a gift in the summer, so the dough remained. Lied, lay, wanted to throw away. But something stopped me) It turns out not in vain)
ledi, Vera, I was crumbling too. For a very long time, in small portions she warmed in her hands and kneaded. After rolling, she simply stroked her hand, and then only made a print. After ironing with hands, the dough became more oily and noticeably smoother. And so it remained during and after baking.

Good afternoon, Tamara. Very nice!!!! How did YOU make such circles on the form?

Lada2014,

How did YOU make such circles on the form?

Lena, I don't have a special uniform. I have long wanted to get one, but since I make gingerbread very rarely, when I really see enough of beauty and inspiration does not let me sleep)))
I came across a detachable metal New Year's ball (in the Metro they sold for 59 rubles according to the type of box), and immediately the thought came to me that I could try it. I wrapped this ball in foil, greased it with butter and baked on it. I was afraid that I would not be able to remove, or the paint would peel off and stink. But everything went great! This year, we sell gift tea in our grocery stores, almost the same boxes) So, if there is no form, I recommend it!


Girls, thank you for the thanks))) I immediately lost sight of writing - the idea with lace on the test is not mine, I spied on Julia M Usher, on her website. It's somehow awkward now)))
And with the form - mine)))

tomabsw, Tamara, such a good idea! And most importantly, these balls are of different sizes! I baked on a purchased form, it turned out normal. But I wanted a little more, at least 1 - 2 cm. Now I will take into account for the future
P.S. it's time to start a notebook where to write out advice with HP
Damn, I came, scored half a page with comments

[Husky]

Girls, I have a question for you. I began to make gifts for the New Year, but did not have time. I'll be finishing up for Christmas. There is still time. Therefore, I ask for help. So, I made such a composition and suddenly it dawned on me this morning that the green trees (made for the New Year) are completely out of color here. Is that so or not? Maybe it's better, while there is still time, to bake new trees and decorate them to match the entire composition?



This time, when I was making the varnish for the gingerbread, I used homemade skimmed cream !! This is a song !! The coating is even, thick from one time. Everything else was prescription, like Lisa's. I did it with condensed milk, the result was worse. Although, as I understand it, it all depends on the density of the adding component. The thicker the better.I had a liquid condensed milk, although Rogachevskaya.

Lyuda, I like it. But I have a problem with color and compositional perception. I wouldn't do it.

Lena, sister in misfortune !! One to one the same problem. Color matching is not at all for me. For me, the brighter and more colorful the better. But this is not at all true. To arrange and combine the decoration on the cake, and just in life, is torture.

Husky, Lyudmila, and I like it) There is no diversity here, in my opinion! Very laconic and stylish.
Red or white Christmas trees can be lost against the general background, and so all the details are visible, and, at the same time, everything looks like a complete composition.
But, this is my opinion) I am also not strong in thin. creativity) And I make gingerbread once or twice a year if I press it with an unusual gift)

Huskyand I love the composition! and the trees in the winter are like that in the forest) covered with snow!

oh, Luda, but I would have left it, it looks so harmonious, I really like it! after all, Christmas is also in winter and green Christmas trees covered with snow in the theme

[Cookies on a marine theme]

Girls, hello! Happy New Year!!! A lot of happiness, a lot of money ... and of course health !!!
I'm not a guest here at all .. not even a rare one ... but this year (no matter how much I run away), I still accepted an order for cookies ... although I'm very afraid of icing .. like fire .. and their number .. very frightening .. but still decided to take up the order .. already had a sporting interest: I can, I can not, a rag is not a rag ...
Cookies on a marine theme (oddly enough, for the new year, they ordered it on the marine theme) 990pcs. The term was only 2 weeks for everything!
Some were decorated with icing, some with mastic.
These are completely icing ... and the most difficult ones were given ...


And these mastic ...

in my eyes you are a heroine!
990 pcs, fainted

Hello! the good girl who brought her creation! I'm in shock from the volumes !!
I'm going to faint again! and where is my mouse ?!
real! some unrealistic volumes! and the quality is quite professional! You definitely filled your hand for this order! now you will be a pro! : girl_cleanglasses: seashells and starfish shocked at all - how can I imagine drawing these droplets!

Eugene, thank you very much! with me on you ... but it’s somehow inconvenient ... but what heroism ... it smells more like something else ... but the main thing is that I coped on time ... although I am not satisfied with the quality of the work performed ...

Hello! the good girl who brought her creation! I'm in shock from the volumes !!

Hi !! Glad to hear from you! Thank you !! well ... how to say professional quality ... rather amateur ... but now icing has definitely won me over !! does not give me rest !!! and I want to learn how to make really beautiful and high-quality cookies !!! I will try!
you won't believe it ... for me drawing these dots turned out to be the easiest ... I was tortured with these large brown shells with fill ... I could not make the same color ... a lot of paint and the icing structure deteriorated ... and after drying, the surface of the cookies in some places with a marriage came out ... I redid the last 30 pieces 2 times ...: it is the lightest and most beautiful, for me, only sea stars came out ... they went like clockwork from the very beginning ...
Thanks for the praise !! I will now, in my free time, master icing further .. so now I will be a frequent guest in your house ..

ZeZe, Lyaila, incredible volumes and a very decent quality, well done! Well, I think after these orders you are no longer afraid of icing?)))
I also liked the stars most of all, I took them into the bookmarks and Santa Claus is excellent.

Tanya, thank you very much! Yeah, now it's not so scary ... now, after talking with Alena Danisa, I even think to try an icing frame at home ... 5 I want to learn how to work with icing .. really ... of a professional flax!

[My New Years Firstborns]

and they also ordered such New Year's gingerbread for schoolchildren ... there were also a lot of 5x ... I didn't have time to phot everything ... so only what I had time to show!
My New Years Firstborns

here, too, I flooded some with icing, some with mastic (boot, Christmas tree toys)

ZeZe, Lyaila, these are the volumes !!!!!!!!!!!! In just two weeks! Boggles the mind!
The stars are awesome! And Santa Claus with a snowman was very successful)))

excellent firstborns! snowmen are very mischievous Santa Clauses, kind and kind! I did everything very well!

Thank you! I made a total of 600 of them different ... and at the end I already filled my hand ... and it was much easier! especially Santa Claus ... and those with mastic - my husband actively helped !! so work with him is 50 to 50 ...

Thank you! but it would be necessary to sit down and make at least 1 gingerbread normally ... otherwise the time was adjusted and I did everything quickly .. I didn't even have time to think about it ... well what else could my husband do for many cutting cookies .. the work went much easier! So, in addition to these cookies, in the same 2 weeks I handed over 4 more custom-made cakes and plus my daughter's cake ... I myself am in shock now ... how I did it ... but the quality of course suffered from this ... now I will try not take orders in such terms! we will assume that this is just an experiment ...

Girls, went on Pinterest, found an amazing place. Not gingerbread, but soft toys, but such collections are collected there, almost everything asks to be made with gingerbread.

The girls, in the end, exploited a set of felling snowflakes. Made a Christmas tree for Christmas. Together with Christmas, winter has ended with us. It's raining for the second day. And the nephews have already eaten the tree.

Lerochka Sahara dough. The diameter of the lower tier is 12 cm, the upper tier is 5 cm. Height is more than 20cm. More precisely did not have time to measure.

elena88, Lena, a very beautiful tree! Especially a star! Great idea!

elena88, Lena, cool Christmas tree! How many snowflakes did you have?

tomabsw, ledi, girls, thanks for the praises!
Vera, I don't understand, where is the number of snowflakes? A set of cuttings contains 9 pieces of different sizes. And in the finished Christmas tree there are 18 pieces. Two of each size. By the way, I tried to bake gingerbread right in these clearings so that the edges were clearer. It turned out very well. Only this is not for the Christmas tree, but when I made stained glass gingerbread cookies with a blue candy inside. They looked amazing on the window! But the photo turned out unsuccessful, it is very difficult, however, to photograph stained glass gingerbread.

Cool!

the tree turned out super!

Alena, thanks for the tip!

Lena, to whom what comes to mind at the sight of a Christmas tree, and I immediately have my granddaughter, she already knows how to correctly assemble a pyramid, practically your Christmas tree is the same pyramid. The granddaughter will have to do it, let her collect it. )))
Your Christmas tree has a cent skewer, right? Or did she just stick one gingerbread on top of another?

elena88, a good Christmas tree turned out. I'm also interested in the way of fastening

Girls, about fixing the tree is simple. Glued on raw icing. Although I think it's not a problem to insert a skewer. But then the gingerbread will be mobile and the configuration of the tree may be disturbed. My rays of snowflakes are staggered motionless. But for children, collapsible pyramids may not be glued tightly. Fasten the skewer firmly on the lower tier and that's it. And the rest of the gingerbread just with a hole in the middle.

how did you manage to hang a little icicles and a garland? )))))) A pretty Christmas tree is all the same. And delicious - that's for sure!

How how?! With difficulty and in a hurry, almost ate with hands

Girls-craftswomen! Happy New 2016 Year and Merry Christmas !!! New ideas, successful incarnations, grateful customers, love, happiness and peace !!!!

I thought, I thought, where to carry, here or in Temka about the houses. But these are not houses, just one wall, such 3D-shki. The size of the first composition is 13 * 14 * 9 cm, the size of the second is 19 * 20 * 20 cm. The windows were made by Roshen's melted lollipop "Eucalyptus with menthol" and I want to say that a smaller house has been on the table for a month and a half, and the window, well, at least henna, does not flow. Although I have 2 aquariums in my room - 240 liters and 60 liters. I was prompted about isomalt, like it is part of some candies. Maybe this one too? And they also told me that in candies for diabetics it is there instead of sugar, as a substitute. It has much less hygroscopicity, which may be why these candies are more resistant and do not flow.

everything worked out great! so fabulous and wintery!
this asymmetrically decorated substrate brings some kind of charm, creates the impression that there was a blizzard and the snow so naturally fell on the road

Wow! For a gingerbread, it's just heroism. The compositions turned out to be good, they are cozy, homemade

Mona1, Tanya, nice houses turned out! And about Isomalt, I also heard about its lower hygroscopicity. But I made windows from our usual "Barberry" nothing flowed. I think that Isomalt was hardly used there. Candy is cheap, and Isomalt is much more expensive than sugar.

Tanya, I like your houses! Have you learned how to use Photoshop?

Verochka, no, I don’t know how to photoshop, I just have a good friend who can.

Girls! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to everyone! May this year bring only good things! And everything bad will remain in the past and will melt like last year's snow
So much has been written - baked! So much beauty! I reread the last pages, really good fellows

Fuh, with grief in half it should work out now.

Alla, now you can see! looks very fun and naughty! the fill is even! smart girl!

[How to read the expiration date of Americolor dyes]

Girls, thanks for your feedback.

Since I don't have anything on the bottle besides four mysterious numbers (Thank you, Mona1- Tatyana, at least I found them), I continued to search .. and found it on the Internet.

Maybe someone needs to share.
How to read the expiration date of Americolor dyes:
production date marking is indicated on the packaging cap.
Includes 4 digits and 1 letter, where the first three digits are the ordinal day of the year, the 4th digit is the year, and the letter is the batch number. For example: 0325A - dye production date 01 February 2015, batch A.

Shelf life - 2 years from the production date indicated on the package.

Lada2014, Elena, Thanks for the useful information!

And these are just gingerbread sets for the holidays

cute sets! especially liked the new year and the coffee pot with cups

DaNiSa, Thank you)))

Anjela1The gingerbread sets are good. And in boxes they look absolutely solid.

[Lera]

Well, that seems to be about the end of all winter holidays and gingerbread on this topic.
I'm already racking my head about Valentines, and a little thinking about Easter ones.
I would like to create something like that, but so far the ideas are only in development.
In the meantime, I'll show you a little more New Year and new angels



These two angels slammed at Dasha Rokitskaya, I love her work !!! Rules up to her level to me, like to the moon)))


Well, these are mine


An angel in a blue dress and a blue hat - zipped up a wing, the angel with curls has set her eyes too close, and indeed I really don't like him, and the last one is big-eyed, who, as if looking at the sky, didn't work out at all, smeared his hands, eyes screwed up, in general it is very difficult for me to draw eyes. I admire girls who have beautiful faces.

Lera, chic and neat work. If you hadn't pointed out the mistakes, I wouldn't have noticed

Sahara, Lera! very beautiful gingerbread! especially the monkeys in dresses liked it !!!

Lera, you have a direct rally of angels turned out Pretty all, in vain you slander yourself. But I liked the one with downcast eyes the most.

Sahara, Lera, even kill me, I don’t understand how such a volume of work can be done with such quality ?! All monkeys are very positive and cute. I especially liked the find where the scarf is decorated with sprinkles: both quickly and pretty.
The angels are all charming.If you hadn't said about the eyes, I wouldn't even have noticed.
Snowmen are pink-cheeked - just ah! So they are full of health! Just what our kids are missing. We stay at home, a terrible flu is walking around the city. We are afraid to drive into the garden.
Elk is generally mortality! Such a New Year's and, apparently already "taken on the chest"
