We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Vei]

Vei, and why categorically do not like icing? I honestly learned to draw something more or less intelligible on it)) although it would not be a shame to show)

Why don't you categorically like icing?

clarify that I do not like the ready-made mixture "Alter Ice". I understood this for myself even when he just came out, took test samples. Then I heard that it was improved, the formula was changed, and so on. Many gingerbread masters work on it and recommend it, so I took it again.
Firstly, on the bare gingerbread, the drawing breaks off, on the filling it keeps nomally, but just on the gingerbread some curls and patterns are chipped off very quickly, sometimes as soon as they dry. The classic Eddie Spence icing on dry protein and high-quality powder holds very tightly on the same gingerbread!

But the biggest and most basic problem is that it MORNELESSLY SCARDS NOZZLES !!! As far as I have noticed, our gingerbread cookies are neglected and not used. They simply paint with confectionery disposable bags, and they simply tear off the clogs, and sometimes they just bite off.
I sifted alter icing through a very fine sieve to sift out at least crystalline citric acid (although it is absolutely not clear why citric acid is in the dry mixture), but still, almost every pressure on the bag ended in breaking through the nozzle / bag. It is impossible to work this way, the line is interrupted where it is impossible to do this, a bunch of jambs from this appeared, which could not have been, and which had to be corrected. And this time and nerves!

This is the style and hand of Judit Mezesmanna, a Hungarian artist.

Seem to be

And here is the video on Vera's link, but on YouTube


And her video

[Vei]

Vei, Lisa, the work on the photo is of high quality .. especially the jambs you write about are not visible ... you know better))
On the contrary, I bought nozzles ... you can't do a lot without them ...
And I didn't want to do these `` freaks '', because how greedy? Yes?) I don't)

[Vei]

Vei, aa, got it)
Well, about the chipping, yes, I agree. With me, too, he doesn't really want to hold on to a bare gingerbread.
And about the nozzles here I am passing by, I just squeeze out of the bag, by the way, maybe for the same reason, because I have only one nozzle, very small and its icing hammered me (

especially and the jambs that you write about are not visible ..

so I fixed them, but what did it cost me !!!)))
I am satisfied with the final quality of the work, even very much, with the exception of the eight, she ruffled my nerves a lot when I did the strokes, and the bag was clogged and all kinds of crap turned out (((

And here is the video on Vera's link, but on YouTube

that's where it is written at the bottom right Mezesmanna))) it is easily recognizable!

And I didn't want to do these `` freaks '', because how greedy? Yes?) I don't)

Yes, I am against children being fond of such a subject and, in general, against such a change in landmarks in life, they changed everything upside down.

Judit Mezesmanna

yes, for sure, Liza, I confuse them, or rather, I thought for a long time that this was just one person, so I will delete my post again so that I do not mislead anyone)))

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, I just came to the topic. There was such a park. According to your customer's gingerbread design: it is 100% mold. I have one. And there are leaves and flowers. Look, I found it in the storehouse. I took a big picture of you t

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, what a lot of things you need on the farm! Please show me how the mold looks like.

Vei, Liza, your monsters are the coolest (beautiful somehow it is not correct to them, probably to apply) of all that they do.
I saw Vikin, hers are very clear, but yours are much cooler !!!

Katya, that's how they are. Little ones. I tell you right away that I was subscribing in China for a long time. For this reason, I will not share the link. But, if you dig thoughtfully on Ali, then I think you can find it.

Len, thanks!

[elena88]

elena88, Flax, is this a mold made of icing flowers, or is it a mold for mastic?

I brought something. I made sets with eights, as many as six, I'll show you two, the rest are not very good for me. The height of the eights is 15 cm. And again I was drawn to the boxes. I made one, diameter 12 cm, and several options for a cover for it.

I brought something

Despite the complexity and accuracy of the execution of all the works, the gingerbread with daffodils conquered me most of all. Now many people make them in various techniques, but yours, Tanya, are the most beautiful, the most narcissistic and the best!

I saw Vikin

and which Vicki, ours? I also want to see))

[Vei]

Vei, Lizochka, thank you, I was very afraid to do them, icing, it seemed to me, is rude for such a delicate translucent flower. Well, I did it somehow. By the way, customers also like daffodils more, although there were roses and tulips, but somehow I don't really like them either.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, very neat work. The blue eight seems to be bigger than the winter one, but the rest of the gingerbreads are already spring. A very pleasant job. The narcissist, of course, is beyond competition. I won't make up my mind yet. Well, very gentle!
Now about mold. I tried to make from mastic and chocolate. Iceing is unlikely to work. Although you can try it, it is fragile and will take a long time to dry. Is there any reason?

[Tanya]

Tanya, Oh, well, finally I brought it here. I admired them in VKontakte! Daffodils are very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ElizabethWhat a job! so many small things! It seems to me that this is generally unrealistic to convey on a carrot !!!!!!!

And I have something! But I'll say right away that there are a lot of jambs. I do not have enough endurance, especially when I want to sleep, but I can't wait to finish the gingerbread Lera's dough, size eight 12 cm, gingerbread animals, 8 5 cm and rectangular gingerbread 11 cm, calla lilies 12 cm, daffodils 8.5 cm: girl_red:

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, very beautiful!
The box is wonderful and the lids for every taste, I really, really like it!
Daffodils, of course, are beyond competition!
Very gentle!
Tan, what is the color of the figure eight?

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07, as for the first gingerbread, everything is so good, icing was a success, lay flat. It will be better further

[ledi]

and which Vicki, ours? I also want to see))

Lisa, yes, ours :)
She often posts them on Instagram.
She only has faces, but a lot of these characters.


ledi, Vera, you have a real spring riot of colors!
The gingerbread cookies are very beautiful, festive!
The variety of bears is super!
I really like the flowers!
Eights lose a little

[ledi]

ledi, thank you very much) very nice) sorry for the little time, there were so many ideas, but physically I did not have time to implement and try a lot of things ... (

Well, I'll show you now what I did here by March 8))) there were 170 gingerbread! 3 days I slept for 4 hours, plus work 9-18 ... today I almost overslept! they took the gingerbread, everyone is so delighted (colleagues ordered from my mother at work), but I am so pleased) the first orders)
Of course, I am sooo far from some of the girls from the forum, everything is simple, a lot of that due to lack of time I didn't even manage to try, but that's what it is)
constructive criticism is accepted)))




and ordered another postcard like this one, its size is 19 by 19 cm, I was very worried at every stage!) but everything turned out more or less. The only thing I realized was that I had a big problem - the lack of imagination, I could not think of how to decorate it, because there were no special wishes, they said how I would do it)

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07, well, smart girl. Well laid down.
If you haven't returned the card yet, draw streaks on the leaves and flowers. The same eight would not hurt to decorate with a simple pattern, at least white over lavender.

[kolobashka]

kolobashka, already in the morning I took it ...but the woman - the customer who squeaked straight from happiness))))) never thought it was so nice! when your work is appreciated !!
But this is of course wildly difficult! but then it's so nice when you see joy on people's faces))

before Easter, I think there will be free time, I want to experiment, draw baskets)

Girls, I'll show mine too and comment on everyone) Dough from Judith. Size 12 cm "Spring gift"

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07, Ira, bright typesetters. The fill is even.

ledi, Vera, bears with flowers are so cute! But the cold-colored eights look completely winter-like. In flower gingerbread, I did not have enough accuracy. Callas are a good idea in the style of stained glass technique, but here you need a perfect technique. The black outline shows all the jambs. I recently tried it too. Yeah .... I made one, scratched my head and that's it. But the general impression is: bright, festive.

[elena88]

elena88, thank you very much))) although it was hard, I really tried)))

[pssaha]

pssaha, Tan, I really liked the color scheme right on the eye resting. The flowers are very cute. But what is rosy below? If this was also conceived as a flower, then it should have been drawn more clearly. He somehow gets out of the big picture. If you think about the design, it will be absolutely great

And I brought mine. The dough is mine. Size 15x9cm

[ledi]

ledi, I believe, funny bears. Only the very last one had to make a smile too, otherwise he was a little sad. I liked the flowers very much - those with a bow - like irises. And I also like your mimosa. I didn’t do it with mimosas, I didn’t figure out how to make it furry. What have you sprinkled with for furry?
Katerina79, Kat, Eh, don't ask about the color, I mixed so many different things, like an alchemist, which I can hardly repeat. It seemed that Ukrasov's blue gel was dripping and a bit on the very tip of a black toothpick. Maybe I also added Atekov's blue, I don't remember. I have a gel Ukrasa - rare muck, never buy. When I made cars recently, I needed a blue car, so I dripped this gel blue nemeryo, and in the end it turned out, as in the photo below, I had to reluctantly spend the rest of my Ateko blue gel, in the lower photo the first in the bottom row turned out. Here, the violet in Ukraska is normally gel, green is also kiwi, although all this cannot be compared with Ateko in saturation, but some kind of blue horror.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, well, cool cars!

Tan, I'm not getting into my own question. Sprinkle mimosa with colored sugar.

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07, Ira, I really liked the typesetters, and the eight directly conquered, which in the first photo, aka pot-bellied, rounded, kept for itself as an option for the template and the next March 8th. And the last card is wonderful. How yellow tulips burn directly and it is beautifully combined with lilac!
pssaha, Tan, elegant hearts, a beautiful combination with muted green, very beautiful inscriptions, your handwriting is excellent, with what nozzle did you write the inscriptions?
elena88, Linen, well, you're just a titanium! Such eights are huge and everything is solid - embroidery. So very even, and how many roses, the darkness is dark! She, I will never go to this, although it's beautiful, I can't take my eyes off! Are there flowers around from that mold? You see, I reminded you with my recent question that you have such wealth. Did you twist the roses too with mold or did you twist them somehow? Painfully petty.

elena88, Flax, and colored sugar ... and what is it used for? drip the gel and stir until blue in the face uniformity?

And I brought mine.

well, a lot of eye-breaking work! very beautiful and smart
truth at the bottom right nakosyachila - a bit crooked there, if you have not yet given, then draw a curl with a little white thread in order to visually smooth out this unevenness.

And I also noticed that many jambs come out only in the photo, so you need to take pictures more often in the process and see what is wrong.

[Mona1]

Mona1, oh thanks))) very nice!)
I also licked the template somewhere when I ordered the molds for myself) she is 12 and almost 10 cm wide) but there is a place to roam)) fantasy is just not enough)

[pssaha]

Callas are a good idea in the style of stained glass technique, but here you need a perfect technique.

Lena, also my hands tremble treacherously, did not obey in any way when she drew

pssaha, Tan, sorry for the small photo, did you wind the roses? I liked the color very much!

elena88What little roses! What is the diameter? The embroidery goes so well with him! Very neat!

how to make her hairy. What have you sprinkled with for furry?

Colored sugar.

Wow! also on March 8? Cool!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, thank you! Actually, embroidery is my favorite style. I do minor work and meditate. The main thing is that no one interferes. Therefore, only at night. I made roses by hand. It is not as long to draw them as to mix shades. Moreover, there are two types of one shade - thinner and thicker. Last year I told you how to do this: first, the drop is placed, dries up, then with a thicker icing of the same color, a snail line is drawn from above in a spiral. And that's all. The rosette is ready. I don't even use a nozzle for them. Well, I'm not friends with the attachments. Hopefully this is temporary. For the first time I made the leaves with a nozzle. Also, it's a non-commercial design. Well I don’t do in such quantities as you do. I don't have that many clients. I drew 7 things in total. Of these, 4 are for sale for very little money. And 3 as a gift. So I didn't really get confused. But I got pleasure. Yeah ... a merchant of me shitty bad. and sugar is simple to paint: pour sugar into a bag, drip gel dye or dry, diluted with vodka. And shake until blue in the face. I heard the girls just paint dry, but I haven't tried it myself. Around the gingerbread, you're right, flowers from molds.

Vei, Lizonka, you are right as always - the work is not for the eye. I have already been discharged glasses. but haven't bought it yet. Therefore, I turn on all the light that is in the kitchen, I also put on a lamp. Ideally, do it in daylight, but who will give me? At best, I bake during the day. And then the assistant tries with might and main. Now I'm trying to type, and a small one is jumping on me with a pillow. I saw irregularities in the photo, but I took the photo with one foot on the flight, so I did not have time to change or fix anything.

ledi, Ver, small roses - from 1cm and less. On average, probably about 7mm. The smallest ones are somewhere 3-4mm. But I can't say for sure, I didn't measure it. And I have already distributed the gingerbread.

in a spiral such a line-snail.

Are these roses like my bear? But you got them like with petals. Photo at least conveys so

Girls, saw V. Bredis's video of a rose on a wet one.
🔗
I looked a bunch of times, but it was there so quickly that nothing is clear. Can someone give a video like this to watch it in normal format?

Are these roses like my bear? But you got them like with petals. Photo at least conveys so

Well yes. I empirically determined that the spiral should be drawn with very thick icing. Then it will be more prominent. And do not try to draw exactly, let the line be slightly wavy, bumpy.

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07, Ira, the work is very high quality, and considering that you are a beginner, then in general for five with a plus! The only thing I don't really like is the white outline on the posad, well, that's right, nitpicking

pssaha, Tan, very original hearts! A beautiful combination of colors, the separation between fills looks unusual, class!

elena88, Lena, your eights are, of course, super class!
Very nice and elegant, but I won't agree to do this, so much hard work, no money will be enough!

Mona1, Tanya, the cars are awesome !!!
And the color of the figure eight turned out to be very successful!
It is a pity, of course, that the dyes fail!

Well yes. I empirically determined that the spiral should be drawn with very thick icing. Then it will be more prominent. And don't try to draw straight, let the line be slightly wavy, bumpy.

I think I understood what Vera meant. here we are not talking about the density of the line, but the fact that the turns of the spiral do not adhere to each other, as if freely from each other and through the turns the point that you drew shines through, maybe it even spread a little and, together with the outline-stroke, the impression of not a line is created , and the surface of the rose petal.

[Lena]

Girls, hello, I'm all in gingerbread, I run in here, but I don't get involved in conversations. I promise to comment on the work after the holidays, many liked the non-standard, especially with Ira, Lena, Tanya.
Lena, watched the video of Bredis, paused almost every second. From what she saw, she draws a herringbone in light red, and another figure in dark, I cannot identify, but once the heart skipped. I have to try for freedom, I like the result.
I will show a few of my own, I do it in small batches in different techniques. All the time I remember the words of my father, who was telling a parable about old and young musicians playing domra (saz, it doesn't matter, if only with strings). When a young man plays different melodies and cannot stop. And the old man plays only one melody, because he found it. I see a lot of my mistakes, I often remember Lena, I try not to make obvious mistakes.
Sprinkle the mimosa with regular white sugar.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, the embroidery is so beautiful!) Daffodils are very delicate and real !!!))
Choice of lids for the casket !! Class !! Chamomile is awesome)) Narcissus is certainly very cool !!))

ledi, Vera, interesting gingerbread, where the bear and the dog like to keep bouquets with mimosa) ..
At night, and it became hard for me to work .. I try to create during the day, by small rushes to the kitchen) .. If you see `` jambs '', then of course everything is fixable next time .. The density and unevenness of the lines is visible of course, but the gingerbread is all interesting ..

by March 8))) there were 170 gingerbread!

170 !!! I fell, lay down ... woke up ..
The main fill is even and neat! With this mode! Shake your hand!!))

If this was also conceived as a flower, then it should have been more clearly drawn

Thank you)
Yes, a flower .. but did it a little in a hurry .. the kid still pulled me from below)) And I had to fill it in .. So I didn't think too much))

I brought mine

Stunned! These are just for the soul !!)) The embroidery is wonderful !!!

BMW cars 10 * 20 cm

Sooooo like it !!! Tanya, I love your cars!)

very beautiful inscriptions, your handwriting is excellent, with what nozzle did you write the inscriptions?

Tanya, believe it or not, but my handwriting is creepy during my lifetime ... I would have been a cipher clerk!)) But here, out of fear, it probably happened: lol: I wrote with a 1 mm nozzle .. I don't have a smaller one yet)

Tan, sorry for the small photo, did you wind the roses? I liked the color very much!

Thank you) Yes, roses with a nozzle, while this is the smallest)

Maybe it's better) Photo from the phone ..

And then I packed it in boxes of my own making)

Tan, very original hearts! A beautiful combination of colors, the separation between fills looks unusual, class!

Thank you, Katerina!) The idea is not mine) I just liked it so much)

Elya_lug, Elya, the unevenness is visible of course .. Then adjust the density of the icing) .. Shade the bears with a brush .. It seems that with your finger namazyukala))
Tea sets are not bad and eights)

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, thank you very much) very nice)) the white outline is yes, I just got used to doing this, it’s more convenient, but who ordered it like that, so I decided to do so) especially on such a scale it’s really easier)

pssaha, thank you very much)) yeah, at least I coped with the filling, it's at least easier to dilute icing to the desired consistency, I trained)
Corn rubbed for this order on the middle fingers from stirring the icing to the desired consistency)))
Girls, however, I am so pleased to hear kind words from all of you) because I know what kind of craftswomen we have here, to whom I, if ever, will grow up very long ago)))
therefore, a kind word is many times more pleasant to hear)
Although everyone who ordered them compare my gingerbread cookies with those sold in Patrick and Marie, in Pirogovo and say that they do not even compare, how much better, more beautiful and better quality. Although, frankly, I see a lot of jambs on them))) all the same)

[pssaha]

pssaha, Tanya, thank you, apparently I can't understand what kind of density I need, I sort of beat it up, and count, and check ... With bears, almost as you say, I drew with a small cabinet, and inside with dry pastels with a brush

[Elya_lug]

Elya_lug, Zlechka, very much a tea set with lilac roses liked the bears too. I also like gingerbread with lilies of the valley, although this is not a March flower, but rather a May one. I also wanted to make lilies of the valley, but did not dare, because a bunch of small flowers, it's easier for me to have a smaller amount, but larger. You did very well. And yes, I agree with those who have already spoken, with the filling a little disappointed.

[Elya]

Elya, I really liked the tea sets. The Eights are not bad, but the colors are disappointing. Or this photo conveys so. Some kind of faded green. On it, and yellow is lost. The girls have already said about the bears. Bouquets and dresses are not bad. Again, I keep repeating to you: now your biggest problem is the density of icing. Adjust it for God's sake! For filling, do not 10 seconds, but 8. Then it will be thinner and smoother. Don't be lazy, waste your time. And for lines, do a clear 5 second. Well, maybe 6 sec. maximum. Do you think everyone is doing so quickly? Nothing like this! When I made roses on eights, I realized that it turned out to be watery for the lines. I had to lay out icing out of all the cornets and mix the powder again. It's dreary of course, but it turned out as it should. I believe in you!

Although everyone who ordered compares my gingerbread with those sold in Patrick and Marie, in Pirogovo

To be honest, such comparisons insult me. It's just business. Mass culture and consumer goods. If you look up to this you will never reach a good level. I do not want to say anything bad about these worthy bakeries, they have a business task - bright, fast, a lot. Although, what am I? Each has its own task. In me, the artist kills the merchant. On NG they ordered me 40 simple and bright gingerbreads to hang on a Christmas tree. I almost died of boredom. Now the wedding is also needed 50 pieces. I'm going to churn out this boredom with the spirit. But I respect your volumes. And where did you find buyers for 170 gingerbread?

[elena88]

elena88, no, in this regard I agree of course .. I also said that they take volumes, but the quality suffers
and I personally don't compare myself with such places, I think that mine are imperfect at this stage and that look much better than what is sold by them)
oh, this is my mother at work)))) thanks to her) even the main boss is delighted, we also gave her a box)

For filling, do not 10 seconds, but 12. I think Lisa Vei said this. Then it will be thinner and lie smoother. Don't be lazy, waste your time. And for lines, do a clear 5 second.

Lena, I'm somehow confused. When I check the icing for density, I draw a line in it with a knife and count how many seconds until the line disappears. The faster it disappears, the thinner the icing, therefore, if the line disappears in 10 seconds, then the icing is more liquid than the one in which the line disappears in 12 seconds, and the 5-6 second icing will be even thinner. Or am I doing something wrong and you somehow think differently. Please enlighten.

And I’m probably the most tortoise, I paint the gingerbread very slowly. I have about three hours a day, so I only have time to paint 4-5 gingerbread. Therefore, at such a pace, I have already started making gingerbread for the fair which will be held on April 10. this will be my first fair, I decided to make 100 gingerbread for myself, and since it takes me so much time and no one here makes such gingerbread, I decided to sell them by space high price

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, I myself expressed myself incorrectly and confused everyone.For filling, 10 sec icing is considered classic (if not right, then my older comrades will correct me) But one of the girls (I don't remember, to be honest, who. I think it was Lisa Vei) spoke about 12 sec. This one dries quickly. I make it thinner, about 8 seconds somewhere. And for drawing, a five-second time is when you dip your fingertip in icing, turn it with a peak up and count how many seconds it will hold its shape. 5 sec - this is considered the most acceptable. If you need to be straight even denser for nozzles, for example, then 6 sec. And for points weaker, about 4 seconds approximately, so that the peaks do not stick out. This is all, of course, very relative. Maybe now our masters will come and refute. But that's how I work with icing. Sometimes it even turns out well. I'll go now and correct the previous post, otherwise people will get confused

[Tanya, Lena,]

Tanya, Lena, Thank you! I do 10 seconds for filling, and for lines I just take the base one, without diluting and not counting. and the contour before filling then how to do? If I make it thick, and then fill it, then the border is somehow visible, although I correct it with a skewer. And if 10 seconds, then it seems normal. I'll figure it out on the trail. week.

I'll show you a few more, I did it at night, primitively, but I liked to draw wet on wet, and quickly.

I'll show you another eight. I had to urgently faintly make another one and mix a bunch of shades of different density of time was not at all. And then flowers from molds caught my eye. Stuck them in. It also worked out well, in my opinion. Size 19x11cm

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, I really liked the daffodils, just super, the rest of the gingerbreads are cute too, but daffodils are my favorite!
the cars are good, but pale-faced, the size of the cars was very impressive, and how much fuss with them ........: -

ledi, Vera, teddy bears are very nice, you are great!

Irishechka07, very smooth and high-quality filling, clever, and such a volume that I can only admire, I know how such volumes are given.
pssaha, Tanyusha, I love such delicate combinations, but I myself always take down in bright colors))))))) at least I will admire yours

Elya_lug, Elechka, the gingerbreads are not bad, but you need to make friends with the filling, even if the humps turned out to be, knock the gingerbread lightly on the table or take it by the sides and with sliding movements, without taking it off the table, shake it back and forth.
elena88, for me, embroidery is the limit of patience, there is neither intelligence nor imagination, apparently)))) therefore I always admire if I see it from others.


and for the fifth day I have been wearing gingerbread, as, forgive me, a dog with fleas: - \ and I will definitely be in them for two more days, there are a lot of plans, and there are only two hands, and there are 24 hours in a day.

I'll show you after the holidays.
