elena88, Lenus, what original adorable kitties! Cool idea! I have very few cats ... so I think we can plagiarize yours
Thank you girls! Sahara, Leer, but plagiarize your health! I still have. Easier. I'll show you tomorrow.
Yrochka, thanks!

Lyudaska
I'm sorry to burst into conversation with you. I'm a newbie. I am just starting to master icing. There are a lot of questions, and I also want objective criticism and tips.
We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies
This is one of my first gingerbread cookies that I completely filled with icing. When I draw a contour, my hands tremble, the contours are crooked.
On a gingerbread with lace, icing a little water left for some reason.
And the icing itself, when dried, becomes not white, but somehow translucent.
This can be seen on the center gingerbread. Honestly, I do everything by eye, I look at the consistency, and knead it manually.
Maybe that's the whole reason.
Quote: elena88

Lyudaska, Luda, the gingerbread cookies are not bad. But in order not to distract busy people with trifles, go to the first page, there is the content of this topic. There you will find answers to all your questions. Carefully study the hardware and all questions will disappear by themselves. Beat the icing with a mixer. The Spence recipe on the front page.
Thank you. I will study.
Quote: Mona1

Lyudaska, Luda, to all appearances, is a little watery icing, powder is visible, more is needed. and do not knead by hand. here some girls had the same problems. They read that it is by no means impossible with a mixer and they are tormented by hand. And then they did it with a mixer at the lowest speed - and everything is in order.
Quote: sugar

Lyudaska, Luda, welcome to our gingerbread house!

Your gingerbreads are nothing at all, the average gingerbread looks especially cool, you painted it beautifully, did you paint with a brush?
You will definitely fill your hand and the lines will be confident and smooth, but first you need to learn how to do the correct icing, elena88 tells you correctly on the first page you can find answers to all your questions.
Thank you very much for your responses and for your hospitality. I drew the gingerbread in the center with food markers. The idea is not mine, I repeated from the institute. It’s a shame to plagiarize, of course, but I hope when I’ll fill my hand and invent something of my own.
Quote: Yrochka

Lyudaska, maybe the contour is uneven due to the consistency of icing. The correct one is much easier to lay flat.
Quote: pssaha

Lyudaska, Welcome!)
The girls answered the questions ...
And for the first, norms !! The potential is definitely there !!
Sahara
DaNiSa, Alyonka, I want to thank you again for your hard work!
I showed my husband the first pages of our topic, he whistled as much, what order in our house.
He says that even he, using such invaluable guidance, would quickly learn the gingerbread business
Indeed, in this topic, so much valuable information has been collected, and you are our hostess, so carefully and quickly you put everything on the shelves

The first batch of my Valentines, as always, I make trial ones to see what in the end has the right to life and will go into mass production ", and what will sink into oblivion
I tried to do the background in different versions: 1- I just did a fill, 2- colored varnish, 3- painted on dry gingerbread with dry paint diluted with vodka (nasty taste), 4- painted gingerbread before baking with the same paint (as a result, it went with bubbles ).
I personally liked the varnish the most.
I also made gingerbread cookies with silhouettes, hid it under the spoiler, it turned out awful, if the icing was of normal density, then even with the smallest nozzle it is impossible to draw small fragments, especially the silhouette of the face - everything spreads out, if you take it thicker, then everything turns out like humps, in the end it turns out what something daub. And the background does not look very painted, it is best of course to fill it.
... In the second photo, the top left gingerbread was covered with paint before baking - bubbles are visible.
The size of the gingerbread is 10 cm.

Quote: Mona1

Sahara, Lerochka, all so cute and touching! Most of all, I liked the white chicks (or are they birds?), And also where there are gingerbread cookies with dogs. The right gingerbread is a very cool little dog, and on the left the eyes, it can be seen, are covered with wool by design, but the wool itself is not very visible, smooth, like a bandage on the eyes. Well, and as always, I'm just out of the multicolor, and, as I understand it, on small-sized gingerbread cookies, and this is usually very difficult to do.
Quote: Katerina79

Sahara, Lerochka, well, just no words, everything is very beautiful !!!
Doggy, yes, slightly without eyes
The sprinkled faces turned out great!
And, of course, all the animals are cute!
Have you made drawings on the file separately on the gingerbread with varnish?
Quote: Natkamor

Lera, so much work. birds, of course, are the most superb. and I looked at the jogging and I thought - what did Lera cover the gingerbreads, not velor)) I do not know how to look bubbly up close, but in the photo it reminded me of velor, like on shoko cakes. ler, and what size of gingerbread?
Girls, thank you very much for the praise!
Thank you for helping me decide, I also planned to clone birds)))
I will probably also leave a hedgehog, a bear with a rose, and a hare with a rose, perhaps a graphic drawing of a couple, although I'm not sure that people will like it.
The rest are not to my liking.
Honestly, it is difficult to draw on small gingerbread cookies, you can't really highlight the details, in the end everything gets blurry, so that Tanya Mona1, I agree with you one hundred percent.
Katerina79, Katyusha, drew directly on the gingerbread, if you cast on the file - you need to put the gingerbread under the press, but I wanted to leave the bulge.

Natkamor, gingerbread 10 cm each, I also resembled a velor coating, but still lacquer look better live.
Quote: DaNiSa

I hope you bring us the rest of the game too ?!
your valentines delight the eye !! I sit watching, admiring! my children started yelling, we want those too !!
elena88
Sahara, Lera, the gingerbreads are all funny, but the birds are the most successful in my opinion. And I also concluded that people react more actively to colored gingerbread than to multi-colored or silhouette ones. Although I do not plan to do color for this Valentine's Day, I practice beautifully fill in and draw silhouettes. I must say right away: in my opinion, this is more difficult than drawing multi-colored gingerbread. Impeccable accuracy is very important here. And I have a complete seam with this: plach7: now I'll show you the pictures. I'll make a reservation that I chose the most successful angle, so that the jambs were not so visible. The size is about 10x10cm.
We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies
By the way, Ler, I filled in the silhouettes close to the contour, and then brought them to mind with a skewer. This is not a quick thing for me, the icing has dried up and of course there are irregularities. How many watched videos where the masters work with a needle or skewer, their edge dries up not so instantly. Or is it I who work like a turtle, or are they pouring something into anti-drying icing? I can't imagine!
Quote: sugar

elena88, Lenus, I really liked the black and white! Cool!

Girls, I think in the commercials the craftswomen do not make icing from crude protein or albumin, they have all kinds of mixtures for this business sold there.
Quote: DaNiSa

elena88, the idea is great! and I also like the performance, why didn't you say there
on the red heart, I want to add something else ... like edging
Leer, thanks for the praises! So I thought that they were clearly cheating.
Quote: Yrochka

elena88, I think they have mixtures like we have dry icing, no more. And in its composition, the same albumin, starch, titanium dioxide, powdered sugar - everything is weighed, the proportions are observed and this is the only plus. Well, the result is more stable with mixtures. No longer depends on the quality of the products. With us, this is relevant for certified bakeries and for those whose volumes are off scale.
Ir, I'm wondering why their icing doesn't dry out so quickly? You won't have time to fill it, the edge is already dry and you won't fix anything. And to draw on a wet one, so in general it is necessary with cosmic speed. He hesitated a little, the crust is already breaking. And you watch the video, the master is slowly creating and not steaming.
Alenka, so I wrote that I chose the angle so that it was so shameful. If you look at the right light - mamadaragaya!
And with red you're right, you need edging. I just forgot it when parked. And now, because of him, one does not want to knead icing.
Quote: Yrochka

elena88, oh, I had experience with albumin, when the crust was gone for sooo long. Albumin was recovered not in the same proportion with water as usual.
Yrochka, Ira, so what about me? If the icing from crude protein is more diluted, then it flows, does not hold its shape and the colors migrate. Sheer frustration. And in the video, the icing is more elastic, perhaps. And it doesn't dry. Maybe add a couple of drops to our glycerin? I noticed that when I add gel paint to the icing, it is more elastic. Or is it just me?

Quote: sugar

I also heard that they add glycerin, glucose.
Quote: Elya_lug

Hello gingerbread fairies! So much has been done that my eyes fled and did not return to their place. I’m just swinging, two portions of dough are waiting, ideas are seething, I want one thing, then another, I have to pull myself together.
elena88, Len, it seems glucose is added to icing, so that it is more plastic and does not dry quickly, where I saw it, I don't remember. So, I found who. Ananyeva, somewhere in this thread: "barabashka5" Piping gel is a decorgel. it is added not for plasticity, this is not true, but so that icing does not dry out quickly. used for the technique of embroidery with a brush - softens the texture of the icing, and then it is easier to work with icing, and the strokes do not turn out to be dry-brittle-sloppy.
for plasticity and flexibility, glucose is added to icing. if you need to make threads, for example. for conventional techniques, it is quite possible to do without glucose. "
Ale, now in more detail: glucose, do you mean glucose syrup or powder?
Quote: Elya_lug

Linen, I have not tried it myself, but I am sure that the glucose syrup, namely a confectionery, is thick, and not a pharmacy solution. You can buy it in Internet stores, familiar girls use it for homemade marshmallows, and for flower mastic.
Quote: pssaha

Maybe the icing is thick for filling? !! And so, nothing)) ..
harmful78
Lera, I liked the chickens the most. And also a mouse with a heart and all the bunnies! And in general, I'm just amazed at how, with your workload, you manage to draw such beauty. I'm trying to do something easier on the stream. Now I'm also experimenting with varnish. But gold does not give me rest. I made gingerbread with him by February 23rd, a set and piece by piece, with stars. But somehow my colors still don't match. Can you advise what?

Quote: pssaha

harmful78, Liza, what are the sizes of the gingerbread? .. gloomy, I'm sorry they look ... I would have a background, blue, red .. made ...
And the numbers are great !!
Quote: sugar

harmful78, Liza, it's hard to pick up something for gold, maybe some fragments could be painted yellow-brown on the tank, red can be lighter and brighter, if you don't have such a bright red, you can add a little yellow.

Silver numbers look great! I would even say, luxurious!
Quote: elena88

harmful78, Lisa, I liked the numbers more. Blue with white and yellow work better than gingerbread. So it's probably better to fill aircraft tanks with white glaze. As for my silhouettes, who will see how. You think that they are white on black, but it seemed to me the opposite. So the fill is white and the top is black.
elena88, I also asked about it.It turns out that the silhouettes themselves are not convex, but depressed, right? And about blue with white and yellow, I didn't quite catch something ... Explain the thought again
Quote: harmful78

Lera, Sahara, I know that it is difficult with gold, but I just wanted gold. And in my thoughts everything was so beautiful. But in reality
And I had to cover the silver 3 times, although a bunch of kandurina swelled. The gingerbread was shining all the time
Quote: DaNiSa

turned out well!
Quote: elena88

Lisa, I mean the plane and the tank. It seemed to me that it was drawn in blue icing. There is still a small one hanging on me. One eye on the tablet, the other on it. We play catch-up. do you have it painted in black on your tank and plane? Well, I wanted to say that the color is not visible on the natural background of the gingerbread. You need to fill it with white, and then paint on it. But let me say that I have not seen successful gingerbread on a military theme. Maybe I was just unlucky, but I can’t even imagine that it’s possible to get interesting stuff on this topic. It is necessary to rummage through the pictures, maybe it will dawn?
Yrochka
Sahara, This is the volume and variety !!! Birds
elena88, again in style! Healthy hearts!
harmful78, I really like the numbers! About 23 completely agrees with Lera on the color scheme

I also got confused with the flow options for February 14. Last year:

Liza, You can see the gold, the right gingerbread, you have to buy the paint "liquid gold", it's better than Kandurin.
Quote: harmful78
And I had to cover the silver 3 times, although a bunch of kandurina swelled. The gingerbread was shining all the time
I think I know what to do in this case. The answer is peeped in the mirror glaze. There, so that the glaze does not shine through, first add white paint, and only then color. I made blue snowflakes, poured into the Hungarian glaze according to Lerin's version, first dry white paint, then gel blue, I managed to get away from the green color and the glaze was thick, in appearance as if painted with enamel paint.

Quote: elena88

DaNiSa, Alenka, thanks for the links. I saw some. But it's always good to refresh your memory. What if it comes in handy ?!
And I also have a proposal. So, just in case it seems possible and advisable. When newbies get to our topic, most often they go to the last page and start asking eternal questions about the elementary. And they don't even know that the first page already has answers to 99% of the questions. And we begin to explain the basics in chorus and send people to the beginning. Is it technically possible to make an announcement: like, "we inform all newbies that on the first page ... etc. And if you did not find answers to your questions there, then ask them in the topic." And so that this ad was at the beginning of each page, like a header, in such a noticeable font and color. There is also on some sites such a chip with up-to-date information. Whichever page you open, there is first this ad, and then all the other posts. It is easier for both beginners and regular participants not to repeat the same thing a hundred times each separately.
Quote: Vei

I like Lena's suggestion!
Quote: pssaha

Good suggestion!))
Girls, brand new, very useful infa at the beginning of the topics ... Read HP up and down and you will know a lot of useful information !!!
I read HP for a year, and then I joined)

And it seems to me that the expected effect will not be, whoever is looking for information starts from the beginning, and whoever starts from the end will not notice the announcement, he is simply not interested ...

Quote: al_usya

DaNiSa, thank you so much for the video! I have not seen this before! One question arose - how are they then removed from the toothpick? Or is it something else on which the flowers are spinning?
yes, then scroll the dried flower a little and it will be removed from the toothpick by itself

a good suggestion, but this is already a technical issue and depends on the admin, simple moderators have no power over this. and it seems to me, frankly, that this is superfluous who does not want to look for, to delve into, but simply wants an urgent answer at once, he will not pay attention to this inscription either, and some may simply not have enough patience to read the first page, we will hope for that our people are adult and conscious and still will go to the first page at least after our reminder

Good afternoon, girls.

I haven't been for a long time and so many interesting and beautiful things have appeared here.
Please tell me about the gingerbread on a stick.
I bought wooden swords in "Ideal" in Moscow. Everything seems to be fine, but they are so flimsy. Made gingerbread 11 cm, recipe "Gerda".
I saw other beautiful sticks, some kind of multi-colored. What do you think ? Or you need to reduce the size. gingerbread.
Maybe I don't know something, tell me. There is no such information on the first page.

The question is what do you use when making gingerbread on a stick. Here. And what size.

And another question. I make according to the recipe of "Gerda" and they, of course, are oak, but only at the beginning.
And when the gingerbread is already ready, then after a while they become soft. And a large percentage of scrap.
Question two. How to preserve this oakiness and still convey to the customer.
And she herself at one time closed it in a bag with an apple and only then they left a little.
It seems like there is no rain and the house is dry.
Quote: elena88

Lada2014, Flax, I do on wooden skewers. But 11cm gingerbread is still too big. I take skewers usual for kebabs. Try changing the dough. Girls bake a lot with recipes Lera sugar... I bake according to my recipe and also never broke. Try mezeshkalach recipe. Lisa Vei uses it in his works. So you will choose the one that you like best.
elena88, thanks for the answer.

Girls, and I'm eager with the heat in a quick way to spread my experience in baking 3d hearts. For the molds with a low bow to Lera. The dough is also according to her recipe. Mine floats on 3d gingerbread. And this seems to be normal. Covering - Hungarian varnish. I am very pleased with the first experience! Here, see:

Have you made gingerbread cookies on a stick and in a basket.
They don't want to stand in the basket and fall apart. How to fix them.

Well, mine, to be honest, they were better in my head, especially with silhouettes. Cast on the file, but thin necks and tails break during transfer, and on the gingerbread it does not come out very nicely. Well, the fill, it seemed, was normal, and after drying out with tubercles.

If I didn't know that you could do better, I wouldn't swear. And if so, I demand from you gingerbread of your level.
pssaha, Tanya, well, it's like with calligraphy, I have it, but it's lame, so with icing.
elena88, Lena, I accept everything and see, I will try harder. The colors did not impress me either, but I dripped so much paint into the cups, both black and red and brown, that I decided to leave the colors as they were, I felt sorry for the eaters. I bought new dyes (gel Ukrasa Ukraine), garbage, and at such a rate it won't last long.

Yrochka, Ira, Lala is so pretty. And with what skill it was executed! : rose: for some reason, icing dries up quickly. I'll pour the gingerbread for now, the edges are already dry. Maybe I work so slowly? .. Can you really add glucose syrup to icing for pouring?

Good evening! I really need your help, my daughter, a student, boasted of gingerbreads for relatives to Valentine and her friend asked to bake. I baked the gingerbread 2 hours ago and dug the entire forum up and down, I can't find the answer. Is it possible to fill them with icing now? or let them lie down until morning. I know that it will be better if you stay well, but my daughter is leaving tomorrow. The oven is conventional, no convection. Baked according to Irina Khlebnikova's recipe.Many thanks to everyone for this site, for tips and recipes. It really saves you from depression.
Quote: Yrochka

mamo4ka, I think it is possible. The main thing is to completely fill in this case and then paint over the glaze layer. I wouldn't dare to put subtle elements on a fresh gingerbread. And when the icing dries (4-6 hours), immediately pack it tightly in a bag. If the gingerbread is soft, then it will not dry out longer and the glaze will be in place.
Ira, thanks for responding. Already filled in and set to dry. I will do the signatures in the morning, I think it will be ready by the evening. Doubted, because cats were poured in and now a couple of gingerbreads went cracked. The forum wrote that the gingerbread was not dry enough. But it seemed to me. that I almost got it, so doubts began to gnaw. Thank you for being.

Yes, everything is with Ira gingerbread, cute gingerbread. The cats are cute. In all, the filling is such a neat good job. The second carrot, however, did not understand. The rest of the class.
Lena, it's kind of like "I love you" is written on the fence in Greek. What size is your heart? silhouettes are drawn in great detail, I can't do that, only the orange heart somehow bothers me: sorry: a very strong color, attracts all the attention and it seems to me that it is somehow out of place

Quote: pssaha

elena88, neat, but "chic" is not enough) Orange heart is too bright ... sorry ...)
Girls, it’s me, the lamb, didn’t write everything as it should be. The gingerbread is large - 14x18 cm. It is stained glass, that is, the heart inside is a lollipop. It is dark red in color. The same color as the little hearts. And it looks orange because when shooting, my husband thought of putting it on a lamp so that it would shine through. Stained glass gingerbread is very difficult to photograph. To be honest, I have no idea how to do it correctly. Well, now I have told everything.

Girls, hello! I missed you all very much! I'm back. already home! your work makes your head spin! What good fellows! I am very happy for you, growing up! So I immediately wanted to create something too! But I don't even know how, that the treatment does not help much.And in general I don't even know what to do. I have to go to work, the employer will no longer wait, but I’m afraid that I’m going to sleep again. I would like to do what I love, but it’s probably unprofitable ... In almost three months of illness, I lost all skills and clients. You have to make a choice, but how? I know one thing that I will no longer be able to work as I used to and at home and go to work.
It was with such sad thoughts that I came to you.
Quote: pssaha

ledi, Vera, you couldn't lose your skills! It's like: once you learned to ride a bike, you ride like that all your life)
You can make customers again .. it's only 3 months, not years ... The main thing is your health !!
Now it is difficult for us with orders .. They want less, cheaper, but such a current in the store .. So I dabble in gingerbread, cookies for the soul)
I think I can deal with cakes in old age and devote as much time to them as I want!)
Quote: tuskarora

Vera - don't be discouraged. I think that gradually you will be drawn into the usual rhythm. And Tanyusha told you rightly - you can't lose your skills. It's just that you have post-hospital depression. So in 2013-14 I had sores starting with sinusitis and one after another I was sick for almost a year. Nothing - fizzled out tttt.
And about clients - maybe you know what to try? Make your own website, upload a little of your creations there. I myself honestly think about it, because I do not know what will happen with the work. Many girls have done so and are happy.
Quote: elena88

ledi, Verun, hello! Welcome back! Everything is back to normal, you'll see, hold your tail with a gun
girls, thank you all for your support !!
Quote: Larissa U

ledi, Vera, hold on, dear! And it is not necessary to make gingerbread to order. Wanted - sat down and took up creativity. Tired - left. Don't burden yourself like that, take care of your back. Health is our everything!
Girls, thank you very much for your support! Yesterday I had a conversation with the hostess. gave me another week to recover from the hospital and think. I decided to go to work and try it or I can not work. That would certainly not be sorry later. Well, that's what I think today: oops: I have seven Fridays a week. Today I listened to the horoscope for a year. Global changes in my life await me. In general, something needs to be changed in life
pssaha
Girls, I was something completely lazy) ... I flooded the norms with icing and did not paint right away, but only after three days ... so icing is not beautiful at all .. don’t do that) you needed fresh!)

Girls, a question arose. Anyone used puzzle shapes? How to do it right: squeeze out and bake each element separately, or press, bake, and then press hot again? My heart is so detachable.
Quote: elena88

Puzzles are not for gingerbread dough. It is strongly deformed during baking.Or bake in the form.
elena88, I bake on lenkor's dough, it doesn't deform. At least if you squeeze the stamp and bake, then all the boundaries are visible. But the option to push and bake with a mold is interesting, thanks for the idea!

Girls, thanks for the compliments. I made a lot of gingerbread, and at least they bought it. Trade, and the truth is not like Christmas, almost no one can say. The son took a third of all for his wife. Rather, I bought it. I argued with him for a very long time. I wanted to give it away, but he didn’t. In general, they traded for each percentage. In general, we agreed on a 50% discount. )))
Quote: harmful78

Mona1, Tanya, gorgeous hearts! Well done! I don’t have enough patience for embroidery. I do so, a faint resemblance - I try to make the cage larger. But I won't dare to do this at all
Quote: ledi

Tanya, Great gingerbread! Personally, I liked everything, but more with embroidery! And the box is great! I see the tiers turned out clearly, you didn't even file anything, right?
And at the expense of the assistant, alas, there is no one. Daughter is far from me. Now visiting, I enjoy her presence !!!! I’m not hugging. I haven't been to Ukraine for two years.
Thank you, Verochka,, did not file. Well, I did not cut out the hearts for the box using a template, but using a template. If by cutting, then the edge turns out to be sharp, but I cut it out with a knife around the template, and the edge is rectangular, in general there are no such large gaps between the tiers. Yes, and those that were, I decorated with dots. The only thing, the side vertical side of the gingerbread did not want to paint in any way, in general, it did not work out perfectly either.
And inside I cut out a heart from the gingerbread just taken out of the oven with a metal cut-out. Our Lerochka gave it to me, this mold really helps me out. Thank you, Lerchik!
elena88
I've already painted the halves of the hearts. Now I will glue.

I wanted to shove more notes with wishes, but I am afraid that they will grease and look untidy. And wrapping them in some kind of foil or foil is too tricky. And they won't fit.
Quote: Irina Fina

elena88, Lena, I'm silently delighted !!! : girl-swoon: The hearts are painted very beautifully, the impression is that there is a real thin lace on them. I would like to consider and consider them, well done! such lines are thin and even, very neat work. I took this photo to my archive, I will consider
Ira, thanks!
Quote: pssaha

elena88, very nice!!!
Tan, thanks!
Quote: Mona1

elena88, Helen, what incredible hearts! I looked for a long time and could not understand what they resembled. It looks like some kind of velvet, but the patterns are as if frosty patterns are as delicate as frost paints on the glass, if the window is with one glass. Just a miracle and a winter fairy tale. And I would put down notes-wishes. People love miracles and surprises and hope for a good fortune. That would be a big plus.
Quote: harmful78

elena88, all! You killed me on the spot with these hearts !!! A package with molds came to me, I'll go get it today. I just sit and think how to color these hearts? And so that both beautifully and not very much time was spent. But I definitely won't be enough for this. We must mobilize and do what people ordered. Not a lot, but at the last moment everyone caught up. Now I will be arbeiten
Quote: ledi

elena88, Lena, well show me the gingerbread !!!!!!!!!! they are gorgeous! It can be seen that they are graceful, but I so want to take a closer look !!!!!!!!! And if I were you, I would also put my wishes inside. I once put in Easter eggs, people were happy!
ledi, Verun, I will definitely show you! Yesterday I glued them together. Tomorrow I'll take a picture and post it: girl-yes: Chesslovo !!!!
Mona1
Lizochka, thank you! Good luck with hearts. By the way, I can throw up an idea. I did it on simple hearts, but you can do this on volumetric hearts if you like. I made 7 hearts with the word LOVE in seven languages

But if you want your THANKS not to get lost on the pages of the forum, then click on the word THANKS under the avatar of Lera or someone you want to thank in the future. And in the line that appears, write a couple of three words of gratitude to the person. And then click CONTINUE.
And so, with the arrival of the forum, it's cool!

elena88, Len, it's a completely different matter! I've seen enough, got pleasure, very gentle, thin lines, lacy !!!!!!! Lena, are these cookies or gingerbread? the edge is light or is it icing?
ledi, Vera, thank you! Glad you like it This is a recipe for gingerbread Lera sahara, Hungarian varnish and icing. On one gingerbread I painted icing with kandurin. Did not like. It turns out sloppy. It is impossible to paint over all the white areas. Initially, it was necessary to make a pattern with brown icing, and then to chandelier. And so ooooooo long and carelessly, no matter how hard you try.
