We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Ver]

Ver, that little things in bags I have heaps of, I always rummage and cannot find. All sorts of mastic flowers, hearts of different colors, leaves, etc., and also on the file I usually cast more blanks than necessary by order, I also put them for the future. There are many different beads, again - different sprinkles for Easter. Yesterday I took a bag of sprinkles, and it was already opened earlier, and I scattered everything in the box, in general, I did some business, so now there are no bags.)))

And I have a toolbox, I begged for a new one from my husband, but it is also for a tool

Tanya, thanks for showing me, I'll take note, I really keep edibles in food trays. Look well weather

Good day.

Tell me why the icing sags, there are dents.
I had this before and then somehow it passed, so I did not catch the reason.
Do you dry your gingerbread cookies in the oven and at how many degrees. When dry
my gingerbread cookies crack (100 g with the door open) and bubbles come out on icing ...

Vei, Lisa, thanks! application of mastic, filling and sunflowers - icing according to Spence. American gel dyes. the size is slightly larger than A4 sheet. did not study, but I really want to.

the size is slightly larger than A4 sheet.

wow, how big he is!

did not study, but I really want to.

I am sure that you will learn, all the prerequisites are there))
by the way, our Natasha Nansy studied only here at HP, not on courses, and her gingerbread is one of the best, in any case, they are impeccable and inspiring!

[Lada2014]

Lada2014, you mean the holes that appear after the icing has dried? You just need to make icing thicker, or if it's yesterday's, then knead it well. Holes are in places where there is more liquid icing. It is so visually difficult to see, the water is transparent. And such holes, you probably noticed, do not appear on a wide surface filled with icing, but in narrow long places. on the petals of flowers, for example, and in your photo just in such places. Nearby, everything is exactly on the hare. I found a way to deal with this. You just need to direct the contour, and then not wait for complete drying, but pour it literally after five minutes, and not very liquid icing, and fill the contour, as it were, so that it would seem to be one whole with the filling and dry simultaneously with the filling. I don't know if I wrote it clearly.
And about drying in the oven - why is this necessary at all? I do not dry. I don't need crackers. After baking, I try to decorate the gingerbread as soon as they cool down, I wait a day or two. Or I hide it immediately after cooling in a plastic container until tomorrow, before decoration. And almost always I have gingerbread cookies, even taken out of the oven, lie on the table on paper for 10-15 minutes, after which I cover them with paper too, and sometimes with a bag on top so that they do not lose moisture. And while I also have aquariums of 240 and 60 liters in the same room. And no problem. Nothing falls off, does not crack, gingerbread is soft, customers are satisfied. I decorate at the table, and a lamp hangs above the table about a meter from the surface. It radiates a little warmth, the fill dries a little faster than just like that. But this is not 100 degrees (or maybe there is convection, from this alone it can crack). I heard that the glaze is falling off from a moist gingerbread (not baked well). Here I can agree. And if it's baked well, it's not scary.

100 gr with open door) gingerbread cracks

because 100C is a lot for icing, you need to set no more than 50C

why icing sags, dents remain.

agrees with Tanya, icing is too liquid or the water from icing is cut off from lying in the bag for a long time without stirring.But this still happens with usually very liquid icing.

[Lada2014]

Lada2014the girls are right. 100C is very hot. And in general, why bother with the oven? Icing already dries perfectly at room temperature.

Mona1 and Vei thanks for such detailed answers !!! Tomorrow I will start a new battle with icing.
for a month I took a break with gingerbread and again I start all over again.
so you need to constantly bake them and a lot is already being done automatically.

And thanks again !!!
elena88 Regarding the oven ... I was advised that after drying in the oven there are no icing dips.
and shine appears
everyone finds something of their own, their own approach to icing

I almost always dry the spices in the oven, but at 50C, there are no dips, there is shine))

Fefochka28, what a bright set, I seem to have seen the original source on the internet, I also kept it for myself, I like the combination of colors, an excellent choice for a birthday.

Thank you,) my sister really liked it, it was a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Yes, the colors are very tasty. So far, of course, you have to spy on ideas, but I hope that one day your own style will appear)))

Added Monday 28 Mar 2016 11:38 PM

Fefochka28, good work, young man. You can also put a leaflet under the inscriptions and use it as a ruler. And just focusing on not mu write. This is for those cases when the icing is colored, then the trace from the needle is clearly visible.

Liza thanks for the praises, very nice))) special thanks for the advice, I will train

Added Monday 28 Mar 2016 11:46 PM

Fefochka28, good, neat gingerbread! Have you been studying for a long time?

Vera thank you, of course you still have to work and work on accuracy, hurry is my enemy
In November, I baked the first gingerbread cookies, I really liked the taste, and pulled in the scheduling process, gifts were already made to relatives for the new year, and on February 14 they were already made to order))) I really like it, but unfortunately I manage to devote so little time to this, my curious daughter all wants to help mom

on them only white icing and varnish?) and awesome bears! Are they from the series that are light? It's unusual to see them in this color, but everything is super!

Vera, little angels, varnish and icing, I really like this combination, and I wanted to bring the bears closer to reality, so this color turned out. All of you are great, and I get tremendous pleasure from communication and from working with gingerbread.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, about crackers correctly noticed. I dried it in the oven on February 23rd, I was so pleased. I think: how quickly everything turns out! And then a client complained to me that the gingerbread was dry, like dried. I couldn't understand anything at all. I understand numbers or letters, they are still thinner, but she had good plump gingerbread ... In the end, I decided that it was because of the oven

[Lada2014]

Lada2014,
you can see even by eye - there is not enough powder

[Gingerbread tale]

Girls, one client sent me such a gingerbread tale in verse, under the spoiler, take a look

Gingerbread tale

They lived and were in the forest thickets:
Sweet Fairy and mischief Oh!
The Sweet Fairy in the forest conjured.
Ykh started all sorts of nasty things.

Fairy baked sweet tales.
Yh waited for the moment in the swamp:
The fairy followed the fairy world,
Yh, as she could, harm the sweet fairy.

Gingerbread house on a butter edge.
Cookies live in this house.
Vanilla rabbit, mouse with cinnamon
And a gummy cat with a fox.

One morning the animals woke up
They went out into the courtyard and were horrified:
The sweet roof is completely lopsided
There is no wall and the pipe fell off!

Someone bit off a corner at the house!
Bunny sighed: - Unpleasant surprise!
The chanterelle is crying: - How can we be?
Where can we get a gingerbread for the house?

And the mouse and the cat are surprised:
- Who ruined the gingerbread house?
They look around: on the candy lane -
A thin chain of sweet crumbs.

The animals all went crumbs together.
The crumbs brought them to the swamp:
In a gloomy swamp on damp bumps
The mischief Jumped joyfully!

- Dancing, look! - the fox was indignant.
I fell from a bump from fright,
Sniffs and whimpers in the distance:
- Oh, guard! The animals found me!

The Sweet Fairy flew to cry:
- Harming in a fairy tale is not the case!
If you fix the house, I will forgive you.
If you refuse, I will turn it into honey.

The harmful Yh lowered her eyes,
She shook the crumbs off her bare feet:
- Okay, I dare not contradict you.
But I don't know how to bake at all!

Wonderful storms soar into the sky
Made of chocolate and sweet glaze.
The magic stove is dancing: - Puff, puff!
The dough is being prepared by a merry Yh!

Yh blushed, sings songs,
Sugar gets in the way, butter and honey.
Cheeks are powdered with white flour:
There is no harm in a fairy tale!

The house is like new in carved patterns.
Together with friends he lives in the house Ykh!
(Irina Gurina)

[Tanya]

Tanya, a cool fairy tale, with pleasure I read and in my head I immediately had a gingerbread house with animals, that would be to bake. Until I make up my mind. Tanya, and your client really likes your gingerbread if such poems are born.

[mamo4ka]

mamo4ka, Larissa, yes, these are not client's poems, these are Irina Gurina, I just finished writing under a fairy tale)
And the client is the lady who sent gingerbreads to her family in America, then she wanted those incomprehensible flowers, now she dreams of gnomes, fairies and dragonflies. In general, my most constant and always wanting something like that, a client.

[Tanya]

Tanya,

Added on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 5:43 PM

girls, I'll show my French to the bridal school. that they were so hard for me ... Some even (bicycle, letters) did not even begin to decorate. The most interesting thing, when you look at ideas on the internet, is one thing, but when you start doing something yourself, you start to invent, invent, add, and something that is not harsh turns out. So I'm waiting for sneakers [url = https: //Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/gallery/albums/userpics/85030/DSC02648.JPG] [url = https: //Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/gallery/albums/userpics/85030/DSC02636~0.JPG][img width = 550 something not all my photos are enlarged

Tanya, this is good, she stimulates you, and does not try to bake herself. All my acquaintances, friends whom I feed with gingerbread, ask for a recipe. And only the doctor, whom she gave an angel yesterday, ordered gifts for Easter.

[ledi]

ledi, class !!! just supper gingerbread !!! I especially liked the very first ones, the circle on the heart is awful !!!

french, bridal school

Vera, great gingerbread! you see how quickly everything was restored, only you take care of yourself, do not overexert yourself!

[ledi]

ledi, Ver, what is difficult is expensive. Very cute gingerbreads seem to me that roses are bright. I would probably have made them in beige and coffee colors. This is so, reflections. Do you have schools for brides there too? Oh, I don’t know how much the brides need it, but for the organizers and participants nothing but a firebrand. My husband took part in such events for a whole year. I spent so much time and effort, and the exhaust is zero with a minus. Thank God, this year I gave up this monkey labor.

[ledi]

ledi,
Yes, so I look at Verina and understand - in fact, for the lace on Easter eggs it was necessary to knead the icing thicker, then it really looks

[Anna26]

Anna26, just the opposite! they must be transparent

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, opening my mouth, I look at them, just wonderful gingerbread. Your roses are very good, all sorts of details, such as weaving on a balloon basket, looks supernatural. And in general, the spirit of France is directly felt. Well done !!!

[Larissa u]

Larissa u,
aha, Laris, look at my balls and Parisian heart.There you can clearly see the lace, but on mine it is weak, and the girls also said that the lace on my eggs is barely noticeable.

[ledi]

ledi, well done! Very beautiful and I can't even imagine how laborious it is! They are all so different. How many did you make them ?! I liked the cafe and mannequin the most. And the towers. And I don't even know which one is better: with a dark pattern or with a light one?

Added Wednesday 30 March 2016 11:38 AM

Tell me, did you draw the cafe right away or did you translate the drawing?

[Anna26]

Anna26, Anya, don't follow mine at all. My icing was not the first freshness from albumin, as I didn’t try to revive it, it didn’t work, it didn’t become snow-white. I have never had such a protein that would become loose. The heart is still nothing, but the dresses are generally dirty.

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, gorgeous work !!!
Very stylish, neat, wonderful colors, well done !!!

[ledi]

Vera, great gingerbread! you see how quickly everything was restored, only you take care of yourself, do not overexert yourself!

Lisa, thanks of course, but there is little accuracy. The timing is starting to annoy me. now I understand Lena, she always said that she decorates gingerbread for the soul. And on the contrary, I want to create, but I would also make money ...

I already understood that, but it's too late. I have already invested so much, but alas, no one has even given for food, they said do not be upset when it goes off. I'm not only going to make gingerbread, but also cake and cupcakes. I took part that spring too, though only with gingerbread. Of course, I wanted people to see and find out that there are such gingerbread cookies, and as an option for a wedding instead of cones. Yes, people found out, called, but there were no orders. probably expensive. And what does the husband do, if not a secret?

[ledi]

ledi,

from albumin

never tried it, all the time I knead it myself from eggs, although the experiment is interesting

Girls, thank you all for the praise and thanks! I think people will like it, although I would like to do it better. There are many options, but the size of the gingerbread does not allow everything! I will add dimensions for freedom.

Good afternoon, girls. Do you have a food printer. is it profitable to buy it. Or is it easier to order a couple of pictures and that's enough?

... And what does the husband do, if not a secret

Not a secret. DJ's husband. And sooooo good level. Plus professional soundtrack and event coverage. The equipment is own. A banquet or a small stadium. As a sound engineer, he is a great fellow. He worked on TV, on radio. And also got involved in this business for advertising. In a year, one event came as a result of these efforts. Some kind of little wedding. Also with a discount. in general, hug and cry ...

Don

This size is big !! Why?))
It is a pity that I applied the mastic details ... all the painting is more interesting ... And on this format you can smoothly display it))

The collection is certainly super! There are flaws, but still very, very cool !! Paris just blows!))
I like the brightness of the colors here)), on white towers, more often the crate can ...black looks more beautiful ...)
Super baskets, silhouettes !! Playshki cute)) The cafe is a great idea !!))

Oh, also, my husband made me a three-tiered stand for cake or cupcakes from stainless steel, spinning on a stand at least saved them such prices are insane. In general, will I work, and the inventory is still being added

Added Wednesday 30 March 2016 12:44 PM

Girls, what size is the best gingerbread to make for an anniversary gift? What to paint well, well, not quite huge or small? Also a fishing theme will probably be, the hero of the day is an avid fisherman. I will decorate with icing

invested so much

I know what you mean!! A friend somehow lured me to the exhibition with a kendybar ... It's all in vain ... they gasp, groan, they take the phone .. And then, either it's expensive, or they disappear .. She vowed to go there))

Added Wednesday 30 March 2016 12:49 PM

the size of a gingerbread is best made for an anniversary gift

Vera, I would definitely do 18 cm, but I would add a couple of pieces for the composition)) I could not get rid of it alone))

Tanya, I was offered to do kendybar, refused in time, otherwise I would have to buy more dishes. and I don’t really understand them, these kendybaras. The decorator will do.
Regarding the gingerbread, I'll see how over time, that then this haste, it is better to have one but high-quality one, you still need to make a box! it's me instead of a postcard for money! Oooh, can you make a double, tie with a ribbon, and inside denyuzhki in a bag ?!

Of course, you need to overdo it for cleanliness and hygiene, all the same, no matter how like food))

No need to perebdet, this is such a thrill, FSE unfolded. Which did not fit with drawers, bad plastic, there is a smell, I will put all kinds of nozzles in them and other non-food items. And put mastic and icing things in rectangular organizers. Organizers are completely odorless, sleek plastic. I think that it is not harmful. By sight, smell, touch such a feeling.
And it turned out that everything did not fit - you need to buy a few more things, so if you are sure of environmental friendliness, then buy, you will not regret it.

Wow, how many! Such an order! And I, and I the same hochchchuuuu¡ !!!!

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, the company, by the way, which makes them, is located in Makeevka.)))

[Tanya]

Tanya, beauty and comfortable. And now I collect all the cardboard boxes and put my * riches * on them and took out a bookcase from the shed like I washed it for 60 years (there is no time to paint) and load everything on it, like a workplace.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, wow, how many!
Cool everything systematized!
I've also wanted this for a long time, but for some reason I don't come across such boxes.

Added Wednesday, 30 March 2016 3:34 PM

my husband made a three-tiered stand for cake or cupcakes from stainless steel, unwinding

Vera, show me!

Do you have a food printer. is it profitable to buy it.

not profitable, unless you print many sheets a day to order. The paper itself is expensive there, it is expensive to use it in gingerbread, and ink dries very quickly, which cannot be simply left in the printer and not used. If tucked in, you need to quickly print everything. So either you have to have a large production of gingerbread with a print, or just a permanent print to order, otherwise you will be in the red.

and I made a food printer from an ordinary one, found a site where ink and paper are a little cheaper ... of course we need print volumes ...

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, Kate. here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=41080.720

Girls, we need your opinion!
I bought Vico-Banzai powder, but it is not pure.
I sift it through a fine sieve, there are tiny dark specks.
The structure of the powder is certainly cool, fine, but this rubbish!
I used to take ATB powder, it is, of course, coarser, but clean !!!
Tell us, did you have that?
It's either a bad game, or it's always like this

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, Katerina, I always take the same powder (made in Belarus) ..So there is it with cinnamon, and in a dark package ... Since I ran into it ... everything is right on the pack ... pure powder, but how it opened it .. everything is mixed with cinnamon .. Apparently at the production itself, something then they messed up ... I let the whole thing on color .. Out of 15 packs, 6 was with cinnamon ((

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, since the suppliers changed in Auchan, there is no my favorite powder. Therefore, I take Raspak or ARO. Both have to be sown through organza. The screenings are of course crazy! But what to do? And I brought a wedding set. Heart size 17x16cm. Flowers from 9 to 6.5 cm.
