I came to you for advice, looked for information, but honestly did not find whether anyone had such a problem. When baking, the bottom of the gingerbread cakes is very steely deformed, some pits and bumps are obtained, I attach a photo. I bake on baking paper, raw dough, honey, eggs, butter, flour, powder, soda and spices.
I was already very worn out with this problem, and the thickness does not affect this fact. There was an order for March 8, I did it with such stress, I was afraid that they would not like it from this humpbacked bottom, but I really liked everything. I really look forward to advice

[marshmallow]

marshmallow, Lenuska, thank you! Wait for the kebab I'll bring the gingerbread!

Fefochka28, try on a baking sheet dusty with flour. Many girls do that. You can purchase specials. non-stick fabric. I have a perfect wrong side. Somewhere in the topic, I showed it several times and gave a link. But now there is no time to search. If you have time, try it yourself.

Elena thank you very much for your advice! That is, without paper, just sprinkled with flour on a tarp ?!
I ordered myself silicone rugs, but have not yet arrived, but this is the first time I hear about the fabric, I need to look!

[Fefochka28]

And these are today's eights. My men went to congratulate the relatives.

Added on Tuesday 08 March 2016 12:49 pm

Fefochka28, but just on dusty. I myself didn't bake that way, but the girls say it's good. I also had a bad wrong side on silicone mats.

[Fefochka28]

Girls, dear, happy holiday to all! As well as last year, I am extremely happy that I came to this forum. They taught me a lot here: sometimes with praise, sometimes with criticism, but always to the point and to the point. Thanks again to everyone for sharing your discoveries and never refuse help! Happy holiday everyone!

Fefochka28, here's a fabric. Although it's just called a baking sheet. The wrong side of it is perfect - if you knead the dough enough rf / images / photos / medium / shop252.jpg

And with these holidays I completely dropped out of life. The first time they made a large order for me: 140 gingerbread on February 23rd, and on March 8th they already ordered 265 pieces. And that's not counting what I've already typed for myself. I worked in such a way that every minute was counting. I even managed to send 25 eights not somewhere, but to the Tula region. But I realized how you can give gingerbread without photographing

Here is perhaps the only photo



And yesterday I just more or less figured out everything and sat down to write something, the child gave me a temperature of 39.9, but I will definitely comment on some works

[Asia1993]

Asia1993, Nastya, and I liked the raccoon, of course there is extra greenery. And I myself am such that I often take on something and get scared myself. Tackle the difficult, there is no crime in it, but try a little just to calculate - you can make a masterpiece, or you will spend a lot of time, and it will not come out AH. But the raccoon is super, the owls are also embossed, I like it, in general, too, maybe I just did this embossed just once recently with a sharpei and a squirrel. So go for it. The next gingerbread will be better and better, especially if basically everything, as Lena wrote correctly, moves from simple to complex.

[Mona1]

Mona1, thank you, yes I did it for myself, not to order, there was inspiration and idea, so I tried to fulfill it, the greens are superfluous, I don't argue, it's just that when I made one gingerbread, I had to invent something, from there foliage and carried me everywhere to add greenery )

Added on Tuesday 08 March 2016 02:42 PM

elena88, thanks for the comments, next time it will definitely be better, I did it for myself, the idea and inspiration, I can say that it turned out a little better than I expected, one gingerbread with an owl broke, I had to glue it and hide the seam, but did everything in one day and everywhere I made green leaves, it turned out in vain) next time I will try not to overdo it and take into account all the comments

[elena88]

Girls, good afternoon everyone and a happy holiday! Love, smiles and good mood! 🌷🌷🌷 Take newcomers to your friendly company!?!?)) My name is Masha. I wandered into your Pened NG forum in search of the right icing for gingerbread and now, I can't live without them, and now I decided to get out of the shadows 😊





elena88, Lena really liked your eights with roses. And the basket is something, I'm afraid no one dares to eat it
And by the way, thank you for the fabric with Ali too, I already bought it, the wrong side is perfect

[Marusya23]

Marusya23what gingerbreads are beautiful and cute)

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya class cars, I also made a typewriter the other day (for a 30-year-old boy😂, so to speak, in pursuit of February 23rd), but the skill is simpler, you need to take note of such a car😉
In general, thanks to everyone, a lot of useful and interesting information, and so many ideas and inspiration🌸🌸🌸

Added on Tuesday 08 Mar 2016 09:33 PM

elena88, Lena, the eights are cool! but a handbag with flowers is very, great, well done, very beautiful. I like the technique of this craftswoman, I watched a lot of videos - I am scared by the number of colors and complex drawings. But your handbag is in no way inferior. As soon as I saw her in the morning, I decided to go to HP at all costs, write how I liked it: girl_love: And most importantly, get well

I also started making gingerbread not so long ago, every next time it turns out a little better. To all new gingerbread girls, the main thing is that there is a desire and the best result will definitely be

Anna26, Anya, nice nice gingerbread cookies, neat embroidery. I liked the sets with birds and cats. The color scheme is good, well done

Thank you, I'm trying)

Can I show you my suffering)))



Girls are still a question of who uses ready-made icing in their work, how it works for you. I bought 1kg of milk glaze here, and I had a "big" order for the 8th, well, it seemed to me big, 40 gingerbreads, compared to Liza (harmful78), I'm still shocked by her volume of work), and so In principle, I liked the icing, and it was convenient to prepare it without wasting time sifting powder and whipping with protein, but for myself I did not fully understand which is better, girls share your experience, please. thank you all for the answers!

[Fefochka28]

Well, we overwintered, and survived March 8! Getting ready for Easter?
The girls have done so much spring beauty! Unfortunately, it is impossible to comment on the phone with quotes, she said in gratitude to whom she reached
And I got hooked on this style. Once the flowers, twigs turned out and away we go!
Almost all orders for March 8 were made using this technique. And today I finished the order for my birthday at 11 pm, and they will come for it at 8 am. The light is bad, and will go away without a photo. I try not to post photos on Instagram and social networks of this quality. Though I'll show you here, I'll complain. True, a lot of things leave without a photo. I get decent pictures at 3-5 o'clock in the afternoon when the light is soft.


The size of the figure eight is 11 cm, and the birthday gingerbread is 18 * 18 cm.

Fefochka28During the search for the perfect glaze, I tried to work with different ones. The Viennese froze and became hard as an eggshell, sifted the finished icing too. I tried home-made custard glaze, cooked all sorts of fudge, applied mastic - better icing than Eddie Spence did not work. And according to taste data, and on the basis of drawing in any technique. Well, I think the question of saving time is far-fetched. Break 3 eggs and sift 450 g of powder - is it really a significant waste of time? Not hundreds of gingerbread a day, as in production.

Girls, hello! My first gingerbread cookies, as a gift) 30 pieces.

Until the fine embroidery I walk as far as the moon, I'm trying so far to see if I have my hands on this matter) It is very fascinating.

well, it seemed to me big, 40 gingerbread

no one has ordered so much for me yet))), our people do not understand what handmade gingerbread is

Added Wednesday, 09 Mar 2016 06:43

Almost all orders for March 8 were made using this technique

Damn, well HOW? This seems to be a piping technique. How I dream to learn! I already ordered a piping gel, but I still don't know how to use it (though I haven't received it yet).

[Anna26]

Anna26, How interesting! I was looking for piping and found nothing. On a whim, I did it with ordinary icing. Please share, the source of information will not be difficult for you!

[Yrochka]

Yrochka, Ira, as always your work is VERY beautiful, professional work!
Please tell me how do you paint the gingerbread on top with gel dyes? Do you dilute the paint with vodka or water, or don't you dilute with anything?
When I painted with a brush, I first diluted it with vodka, but then there was no shine, but I painted with undiluted paints, so my gel dye does not dry out, even the next day I took it, I gently blotted it with a napkin. I have Wilton and Amerikolor dyes. I already thought I could dry them with a hairdryer

[Kitty]

Kitty,
thank you very nice))

Nansy,
thank you very much) yes, I understand, I need to try, but it's more difficult, you need to draw more straight lines))))
and the white contour should probably be filled with filling (correctly put it?) so that it does not look so much ..

elena88, Lena is a gorgeous basket !!! What a funky ornament, I absolutely love it !!!
so far I can't even imagine how this can be done, at least some ordinary flower)
8ki are awesome, so bright, cheerful)) and I have large rosettes with such a nozzle, so much probably won't be able to fit on one gingerbread.

harmful78,
oh scale))) beauty!

Yrochka,
Thanks for the gratitude, nice)
Of course, I am sooo far away from your gingerbread! Gorgeous gingerbread cookies, wonderful photos, I don't know, I have such horror at all) I don't have time to catch daylight)
so far I only dream of doing something at least close to your spices)
Oh girls, and I gave this order and that's it, silence .. Here's where to find those willing? So I want to leave work and do only this, but alas .. so far it's unrealistic ..
And I can’t just leave and sit at home. While sitting at home would be time to study. Plus, in Krasnodar, I don't know where to go to learn painting, techniques (maybe knowledgeable girls will tell me). Well, I'm at a crossroads ..

[Yrochka]

I was looking for piping and found nothing. On a whim, I did it with ordinary icing. Please share, the source of information will not be difficult for you!

I don’t know myself! I have a girl friend in my classmates, I accidentally saw her work and invited her herself. She has works - not works, but works of art! I look at her gingerbread and cry! She, of course, does not share her secrets, but she casually told me that this was a piping technique and "browse the Internet." Believe me, I searched the entire Internet, and I did not find anything, except for the mention of the book by Eddie Spence. I had to go to my pastry shop and order a piping gel. As soon as they bring it, I'll add it to icing and try to portray something, since I can draw. And how do you manage to lay down such volumetric icing?

Plus, in Krasnodar, I don't know where to go to learn painting, techniques (maybe knowledgeable girls will tell me).

Yes, in Krasnodar, it's not so difficult to get to a paid master class! We have the nearest master class in the regional center - Stavropol, it's 250 km for me to go, but that's not the point, for a mad dog it's not a circle, as they say, just the price is unrealistic - 7000 for 8 hours of the master class. Honestly, I haven't earned so much on my gingerbread. But oooochen want to, all the brains reached + the Internet. And I think I saw some master classes somewhere in Krasnodar, I will look in my classmates, if I find, I will write.

Added Wednesday, 09 Mar 2016, 10:20

Yrochka, Irina, why do you need to look for something, everything turns out to be a masterpiece!) Share your secret, if you don't mind)

[Anna26]

Anna26, thanks for the answer! Icing by Eddie Spence, front page. I just beat it to maximum thickness and that's it. I load it into a cornet without a nozzle and draw. At the master class I gave one gingerbread to draw using this technique. It's hard to explain how this works. If there is no spatial imagination, then the girls managed to assemble a three-dimensional picture, but literally under dictation.

Added Wednesday, 09 March 2016 10:36 AM

Irina Fina, I found a decor gel. What to do with him asked here. As a result, I started experimenting. I dilute the dye with it and with some water to the desired consistency. Shines excellently. Dries in an hour.

[Yrochka]

Yrochka,

I just beat it to maximum thickness and that's it. I load it into a cornet without a nozzle and draw.

And it lends itself to such processing? Well, in the sense of pushing some lines directly on the icing, right? I have no idea at all! You have to try.

Added Wednesday 09 Mar 2016 10:51 AM

and try adding a decor gel to icing, because I heard that a decor gel and a piping gel are the same thing. But probably in small volumes, suddenly some kind of nasty will turn out)

[Anna26]

Anna26,
well, we have here in one place that are regularly held, the price is more or less, about 3500. but just looking at the MK program, I don’t want to, I don’t see anything fantastically new there ..

[Anna26]

Anna26, lends itself, yes. Here I watched the girls on the microscope: the same icing consistency, from the same pot, as a talker, but the work is so different! Fine motor skills play a huge role. Well, learnability. Someone concentrates on the process, someone on the result.
There were plans to decorate gel in icing, yes.

[Irishechka07]

Irishechka07,
but I would also go to the elementary courses, suddenly I'm doing something wrong ... Or suddenly there are ways to do the same, but in a more convenient method)

Added Wednesday, 09 Mar 2016 11:21 AM

Yrochka,
And it seems to me that it will be covered with a sugar crust while you put it down. Or not?

Added Wednesday, 09 Mar 2016 11:23 AM

There were plans to decorate gel in icing, yes.

Right now, they will bring again, as well as black paint - not a word in Russian, and add this piping gel as you want. Well, with paint, at least it's clear. In general, information is terribly lacking!

and the white contour should probably be filled with filling (correctly put it?) so that it does not look so much ..

I make the outline in the fill color

[Anna26]

Anna26, of course it will be covered with a crust.Do it quickly, in one move and all the work.

[Marusya23]

Thank you girls! I’m tired, of course, like a dog, but I handed out the debts. Now I’m thinking: how could I regulate the number of orders for Easter so as not to rush about again in such a panic? Or is it inevitable anyway?

Mona1, Tanyusha, I am still under the impression of your daffodils and I really liked the smart cars, they are drawn in such detail.

Tanya, I am also sooo interested in daffodils. How did you make them? The petals are almost transparent ... The icing is thinner and the outline?

Marusya23, the gingerbread cookies are really sooo good for a beginner! Well done!

Cixlidaand I liked yours. The bow looks interesting from the side. And they are made in different techniques. Are the bunnies painted with a brush?

Yrochka, a very interesting technique. I still liked her in insta. Share: Does it take a lot of time? For example on this postcard? I also really liked the idea of ​​a 4-piece gingerbread postcard.

[Anna26]

Anna26,
well, yes))) is also true)

Nansy,
but it bothers me to be honest. I did this at first, but then there are too many things to breed then. and so I took a mountain of gingerbread, drew all the contours and then went to spread the colors and fill in)

[harmful78]

harmful78, Thank you! The postcard with kneading dough, baking and seven more hearts took about 5 hours.

[Yrochka]

Yrochka,
I've already opened this postcard five times and looked at it, enlarged it. Ah this is a nest! And the bottom bird! And the eggs !!! And the transitions of colors from pink to blue (which I also cannot master). I absolutely love it! And the first half of my working day was spent on the forum. I will be kicked out of work so soon (pah-pah-pah, God forbid))))

And the first half of my working day was spent on the forum. I will be kicked out of work so soon (pah-pah-pah, God forbid))))

Just about, exactly the same thoughts visit me too

Girls, do not confuse round and warm, piping gel has a very indirect relationship to icing piping, it is added a little to icing so that the lines are not torn, but smoother, smoother, and then, this is optional, so to speak, a piping gel and the decor gel is the same eggs, only in profile.

[harmful78]

harmful78,

Now I’m thinking: how could I regulate the number of orders for Easter so as not to rush about again in such a panic? Or is it inevitable anyway?

Many orders are a plus, not a minus. I want more too. I like it so much when you give the order, and the customer looks at you and you see his positive emotions. To please people is also a kind of hobby)))

Irishechka07 Irina Good afternoon! I, too, from Krasnodar, in fact, there are a lot of microns, I myself thought that not, but when I began to look for information, once a month or even twice a month excellent masters come, you can find a lot of information in the history chart, I signed up at the end April, I really liked the work that will be on the mk, of course 6500 is expensive, but it caught fire, and plus for the holidays I earned a little extra money, I decided to afford this pleasure, maybe I find out which secrets are very necessary, otherwise you do everything blindly on a whim)))

Added Wednesday, 09 March 2016 2:51 PM

no one has ordered so much for me yet))), our people do not understand what handmade gingerbread is

Anna is actually lucky, you know, I realized one thing that people need to be told and focus their attention, not intrusive of course, but they will pass, literally stumble through you with gingerbread and will not notice until you personally pay everyone's attention) ))

[Fefochka28]

Fefochka28,

until you personally pay attention of everyone)))

Oh no, I can't do that. I am not a salesman by nature, but rather a craftsman. It seems to me that if I pay everyone's attention, it will be tantamount to imposing. Before February 14 I had orders, and then I ordered one, and then the rest of the customers are the acquaintances of this first customer. I don't know any more other ways, unfortunately)

Girls, help, please, we need to paint gingerbread with children. I figured out the dough, I'll bake it.But what kind of icing will go on cold gingerbread and so that it can be dried with a hairdryer - "field" conditions - in the classroom.

[Fefochka28]

Fefochka28,
recently I saw a girl's photo - three huge basins of gingerbread (red cars like sedans, without any special details and troubles, though) and a commentary - a thousand pieces in three days. Well, what I admire for the diligence and hard work of the master is one thing. But the question is - WHO ordered such quantity !!!

Added Wednesday, 09 March 2016 3:49 PM

Irada,
normal icing grasps pretty quickly, I would use it

[Anna26]

Anna26, icing must be done at home and brought to school. Will it not harden?

[Irada]

Irada,
if tied in a bag, it will not harden. I'm in the process of painting the dishes in which I whisk, usually this is a cup from a mixer, and so, I cover it with a wet kitchen towel, as you constantly dive in there to collect the next portion for coloring. And if it does, I put everything in a bag and in the refrigerator and nothing happens to it! Once I even painted it with a four-day icing, only you need to get it out and rehabilitate, that is, mix it and, if necessary, add either water or powdered sugar. And if I were you, I would also paint it at home and bring it ready to class. Firstly, they do not close up like pigs and save time. And then see for yourself.

So I will. Thanks for the tips. And the icing from Luba or Eddie Spence?

[elena88]

Many orders are a plus, not a mine

this is when there is a lot. And when there is too much - it's like in that cartoon about the golden antelope. It's bad to refuse people so far. It seems that you will collect everything, and by the very holiday some regular customers wake up. or just someone starts to beg. I give up every other time. And it turns out two days a complete blockage and sleepless nights. And on NG it was like that, and on 23, and on 8. I'm just wondering: is it like that for everyone or is it just me?

Added Wednesday, 09 March 2016 5:38 PM

elena88, handbag - aaabaldet! Tell me, who was this work meant for? And how are the flowers fixed there?
Katerina79, are the leaves of the lilies of the valley painted with a brush and dye?
Nansy, such pretty ones on March 8! Umbrellas, of course, out of competition
Elya_lug, I also take thinner icing for filling. The main thing here is that the hole in the cornet should not be very large. Otherwise, it will surely flow over the contour. With a thick (10 seconds) fill only very small surfaces - for example, the buds of tulips. With liquid icing, there is another plus: its layer as a result turns out to be not so thick, it is more pleasant for food. Well, for me at least

[Anna26]

Anna26Such plump, cute hearts and the fill is neat. Anya, what kind of dough are you making?
