We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

yes, I'm not even talking about the amount of dye, but about associations or something)))
now Svirko has made a course project in the form of a mill. An awesome project, very beautiful, such a straight mill is real, but no reference to the gingerbread, if the craft was made of plywood, it would look just as cool and just as not edible))

[Vei]

Vei, Liza, I understood what you are writing about)) ... It's just that each world sees it differently)) ... If the heart (and I really like these ones !! Even from a bear mold!) I made such a heart)) modify it a little, it will be very stylish!
And about the edible species ... Cakes in the form of a jaw, cadaveric heads, skulls, etc. ... I finally keep silent)

It's just that each world sees it differently))

that's for sure!))) and so much the better for us, otherwise if everyone saw and did the same, then what would have happened?)))

Girls, many thanks to all!

And I'll put in my five cents. Firstly, I agree with Lisa - it looks inedible. Secondly, I agree with Larisa - for me the gingerbread is also a more aesthetic object. Moreover, I don't like dry baked goods. And thirdly, the gingerbread most edible in my opinion is simply removed from a baking sheet without glaze. By the way, my son prefers these. Well, it's really useless to argue about tastes.

[Craquelure recipe]

Craquelure recipe
As always, it's three in the morning ...
I decided to start with postcards. First New Years this year:
Olga_Z, Thank you!
On hats-scarves - drawing with a brush.
Craquelure - white gel dye + sah. powder + starch. I put it on the eye. Stir until sour cream. Cover the gingerbread, dry.Olga_Z, Anjela1, it all depends on the dye and the% titanium dioxide content there. I bought 3 MKs on this topic. There are completely different ways everywhere. Titanium dioxide cracks and sugar is hygroscopic. Accordingly, there is very little sugar. And then, if it is not in the dye. Experiments are our everything
Larissa u, the light is yellow in the kitchen
They are so moderate colors, vintage. Food photographers were asked to do for a photo shoot. I hope something good will come out elena88, thank you!
Pictures with snowmen were found on the website for designers. And just in the search engine, interesting vector pictures come out.

Excuse me, maybe I will repeat myself, but should I mix craquelure into icing or directly on the gingerbread?

So what about the craquelure in icing or directly on the gingerbread?

no, do not mix anything into icing, just apply paint on the gingerbread in one layer, without climbing on the already painted places. That is why many craquelure is considered not edible, because there is only paint.

and I am sure that you will not be offended, because in my place you would have voiced your opinion 100%, even if it does not coincide with the general praise.

What a blessing that we are all so different! Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone made exactly the same gingerbread for the soul and showed it here! solid clones!
I, probably, a station wagon I like both the style of Lisa and the style of Larissa, right from both I am delighted

Many thanks to Irina (Yrochka) for the craquelure recipe! Thanks a lot!

[Larissa]

Larissa, I wish my daughter a speedy recovery, it's terrible when children are sick.
I liked your gingerbread unusual. I always admire something new. And whether it is edible or not is another question. There are many things in gingerbread that are not edible. Even if you take just a colored gingerbread, there is so much dye that you no longer want to eat it. First of all, this is a gift, and many generally do not eat gingerbread, but cherish it as a gift, who of course understands this at least a little. on YAM many write that the gingerbread is not for eating.

Girls, I will show my voluminous hearts. I painted on both sides that the icing from the varnish began to crumble. The lines are not clear, hands will treacherously finish. Well, nothing, this was the first try. My daughter took the gingerbreads to her husband. And we made jellied colored gingerbread together with her, mainly she, the first attempt, so to speak. in general, my first MK

Even if you take just a colored gingerbread, there is so much dye that you no longer want to eat it. First of all, this is a gift, and many generally do not eat gingerbread, but cherish it as a gift, who of course understands this at least a little. on YAM many write that the gingerbread is not for eating.

Then gingerbread cookies decorated with icing and mastic should not be given to children because there is a lot of chemistry in paints.
When we bake gingerbread at home and decorate with mastic, paints, icing, then the children give dad or adults decorated gingerbread and say that there is a lot of chemical and this is food for adults, and the children are given just gingerbread without decoration

Well, depending on what kind of gingerbread. With a black caustic dye, or when I have to add a lot of red dye for the brightness of the same hearts, I try not to give this to children. And if tender tones, then I give it to children. There are so many dyes in soda pops, m & ms and many more, but they still take all that stuff. In my gingerbread, apart from small additions of dye, there is no chemistry. Therefore, I boldly give to children!

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, your voluminous hearts are just lovely!
I liked everything! ehhhh, too, such forms of hunting !! we urgently need to look at ourselves

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, it turned out great! Talent, as they say, cannot be spent on drink. Recover as soon as possible!

[ledi]

ledi, Hurrah!! Our Vera got it right! She undertook to create beauty !!

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, wonderful hearts !! Just think, the lines are not clear ... but SOUL !!!)

[ledi]

ledi, Ver, well, here you are slowly getting involved. Down and Out trouble started! It will be even better further

Girls, thanks! I really wanted to try the molds! Many thanks to Lera for them! : a-kiss: Didn't you like the cats?

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, did you paint hearts on both sides?

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, I liked the cats very much !!! Unusual !!))

ledi
elena88, Lena, did you paint hearts on both sides?

Verun, I am a perfectionist in the very opposite sense of the word. Therefore, of course, I painted on both sides. And since I categorically did not want to get the curls, I drew and removed each line several times. Then she drew and filmed again. Honestly, I'm not lying! The first two hearts (these are 4 halves) redid each curl three times. I worked more with a toothpick than icing. Draw the bullshit, take it off with a toothpick. And so every curl. It's already easier on the third heart. The fourth is almost easy. And then the gingerbread ended. By the way, your cats are very cute and funny

Ooooh! and I thought it was the only way for me. I did a little icing, I miscalculated a little, I saw that there was a stake, there would be no drop of water right away, I decided that the warmth of my hands would melt, but ... And the ateko 000 nozzle, the thinner it is, the more difficult it is for me to make curls with it. Well nothing ! I'm happy, I took my soul away. And I also didn't like the color of the varnish, I can't get used to it, on the gingerbread it turns out to be a different color, it was bright in the cup.

[Mona1]

Girls, have done so much beauty! Eyes run up I can't write a lot - the child has disassembled the keyboard, he can hardly type letters.
But I'll try. at least briefly comment on your work.

Mona1, Tanyusha all-all gingerbread cookies are delicious! The candy box is very cool!

[tuskarora]

tuskarora, Lena, as for me your heart is very good, the idea is good, maybe it was not worth making the hearts pink in a circle, in my opinion red ones without dots would look better, or white ones with red dots, well, in the middle, the drawn hearts are superfluous.

[elena88]

elena88, Lenus! Voluminous hearts you turned out to be beautiful. the painting is flawless.very delicate and lacy, and on both sides! Your patience is enviable! I made it much easier, it is unlikely that my customers would appreciate such jewelry work as yours, so I did not bother, but there will be time. I will definitely try to make at least one of your hearts!

[tanyashi]

tanyashi, Tanyusha! I am very glad to see your work in our favorite topic!
You have excellent gingerbread cookies, very neat and beautiful colors, I especially liked the train! I suspect that this is not one of the first gingerbread
I really hope that you will still have a desire to come here more often and share your work and new ideas, I will definitely plagiarize the train

[ledi]

ledi, Verun! Our good girl and a good girl! Hearts are pretty! and the kittens are very cool! Yes, all the gingerbread cookies turned out beautifully!
The main thing is that they are made with love and soul, the skills are there and the girls say correctly, they will not go anywhere!

Well. so simple. screaming - gypsy. as I call them. I got 3D hearts but. surprisingly. people are raking them ... cupids from mastic, cut out with a curly hole punch.


and also made these cats. I don’t remember who had slammed size 12 cm


heart lock 17 cm. bedspreads with kandurin on a brownish-yellow-greenish base. gaps are almost invisible.

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, I'm delighted with your 3D hearts! in our time this is what the people need. something so light and frivolous, immediately caught my eye! and I, too, lit up with these hearts now)) but we have not yet, I have not found it, maybe they will bring a thread ... ehhh, then I will buy a heart, too, caused delight. I completely missed this holiday, and I don't even make gingerbread

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lerochka, well done! Cool hearts! Simple and unproblematic. And I got mine in the midst of work, there was absolutely no time to think. Hastily decorated and fsёёё. Itself did not receive pleasure. I left 4 halves, then I will conjure.
Lera, how much did you rate them? Well, I'm not generally interested in money, but in proportions. That is, how many times are these more expensive than an ordinary heart of 7 or 10 cm?

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, with the flowers I really liked it Nice, gentle and somehow exquisite

[harmful78]

harmful78, Lisa, thank you for at least hinted in the subject that she took the package with the molds
I hope they arrived safe and sound.
As for the price - 10 cm hearts cost me 15 hryvnias, and voluminous hearts are 20 hryvnias. In my opinion, with the last works an order of magnitude less, respectively, the price did not bend, but these are wholesale prices, I refused retail orders.

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, I wrote that the package arrived! I didn’t think I should write it separately when I get it. Sorry, please !!!
On the contrary, they were hard for me in terms of baking. Plus, gluing-drying ... And I put them 2 times more expensive than a heart of 10 cm. And they wrote to me on one of the forums that it was "sooooo expensive." I wanted to know the opinion ...

[DaNiSa]

DaNiSa, Alyonchik, thank you! It is a pity that you are so far away, they would come up with a wh-thread, so that you get a little bit of molds.

[harmful78]

harmful78, Liz, it's okay, I was joking
I do not think that it is 2 times too expensive, my wholesalers at retail also sell this way, I mean that it is 1.5-2 times more expensive than flat hearts.
What are the difficulties with baking? I didn't even grease the molds and didn't dust them with flour, the halves were removed from the molds for one or two.
Maybe your felling was not very suitable?

[Lera]

Lera, I cut with a knife. In addition, it's not just roll out the dough into a layer and cut a few pieces. Every piece of kneading, .. I don’t know, why did it take a long time. Maybe it’s no skill. They are, of course, not so hot, maybe that's the whole point. I also shot them unsuccessfully, it is not clear that they are voluminous



And I also had a fox. Not exclusive, but for some reason she fell for my soul. I liked it, in general. The truth is as always: I wanted to do what was best and shade the legs a little with paint, make a transition, but in the end I just smeared it. Fortunately, the customer did not pay attention and was pleased

[harmful78]

harmful78, Liza, hearts are very decent, fine neat painting, but you're right, in the photo, it's not entirely clear that they are 3D.
I'd still have a bigger white bow, like a double pabbahala.

I cut with a knife. In addition, it's not just roll out the dough into a layer and cut a few pieces. Kneading every piece.

you finally killed me ... of course for a long time, who would argue. I would definitely not bother, cut out each half, and even fit it under the mold
You are hero!
Chanterelle - cute

[Lera]

Lera, a bow is generally an idea! I even saw in my classmates, I was delighted. Such things generally decorate the simplest gingerbread. I also made bows everywhere on March 8. And to my hearts they wrote that "girls make such beauty, decorate with mastic and sell for 180 rubles." But in the end I decided that I'd rather just give them to someone or give them to charity, they will bring more benefits

What kind of bows are you talking about?

[Vei]

Vei, Elizabeth, Lera has bows made of satin ribbons on her hearts. I myself am not very enthusiastic, but I noticed that people love this. People generally like standards. On February 14th, it’s some kind of bear holiday - teddies left like hot cakes, faster than ordinary hearts. By the way, the price is also not a penny for our region - 400 rubles in a box

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, it's great that you are painting gingerbread again!
The hearts are very beautiful, the more it is more difficult to draw on volumetric ones!
The cats are cute!

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lerochka, your voluminous hearts are super cool !!!
I really, really like it!
I'll take it to your bookmarks, and if I get a uniform, I will definitely repeat it!
I have a question for you about your gingerbread varnish.
First, thank you so much for the recipe! The first time I did varnish in general. It seems to work out, but there are such small bubbles when it dries. Is this normal or not?

[harmful78]

harmful78, Lisa, the hearts turned out to be very neat, the curls are even!
Here's how Lerochka recommends a bow on top and in general it would fly away!
The chanterelle is a cutie, and where the color transition I did not notice

I also made bows everywhere on March 8.

Liz, show me

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, Katya, bubbles due to the high temperature during drying, open the oven door slightly next time.

Lerusik,

[Sahara]

Sahara, oh, Lerunya, I'm just in shock! So bright and juicy, I don't know, gypsy style or not. In my opinion, this is the color of fire, the color of life, the color of beauty! Thank you, Lera, I am delighted! I saved myself a photo of hearts. Not for repetition, because I don't have such technical capabilities. But the photo is just mesmerizing. I could not resist and put it as a background image on my computer. The beauty!

[harmful78]

harmful78, Lizochka, and I immediately understand that the hearts are voluminous, like the sides shine, round, straight shine! And the color is just amazing, and the curls are wonderful!

And the other day I made such a couple to order. Sharpei and squirrel.
