We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[elena88]

elena88,
Lena, very beautiful! I have two questions - how are the flowers made so that the edges of the gingerbread are not visible at all? If you distribute icing close to paradise, then it can drain, and if you take it thicker, then it will not be distributed so well. And yet, girls, how do you make such smooth color transitions from darker to light? Airbrush?

Added on Friday 01 Apr 2016 10:44 AM

And that's all, I see the outline on small flowers, I understand now

[Anna26]

Anna26, Thank you! Well, you already understood about the outline. And set off with an airbrush. I haven't really made friends with him yet, so I'm not very happy with the result. But with time, I hope it will be better.

[elena88]

elena88, Helen, a lovely set! It's unusual for me. I am used to making weddings white, I just can't get away from the stereotype. And so it turns out that it’s even nothing.

Out of 15 packs, 6 was with cinnamon ((

Tan, yes, it's a setup, of course!

An airbrush certainly adds to the impact!

Added on Friday 01 Apr 2016 12:44 pm

The screenings are of course crazy! But what to do?

I'm not even worried about elimination, but the fact that this tiny garbage remains even after elimination!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Katerina79, thanks girls! Tan, for some reason I didn't even think to do it in white. So you wrote, and I thought. Why pink and blue? I do not know. That's how I saw him. It often happens with me: I do something, I try, I get killed. The work is not going, even cry! And then it worked out in one breath. Moreover, I did not fully know what the final design would be. She stopped herself by force. I like many small details, curls, beads, etc. It is hard to see in the photo - there are still shiny silver beads along the edge. I could not resist

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, a beautiful set, I like it. I also have a question, icing to the very edge of the gingerbread, you can't see the gingerbread at all. I realized that you first do the outline, after you fill the petal with icing, Lena, then you tap the gingerbread lightly on the table so that the icing is more evenly distributed or not? Because for me, when I pour so close to the edge and then I want to take the gingerbread and knock or twitch from side to side, I will definitely touch the edge somewhere. Already I thought it was necessary to leave a place so that later this problem would not exist, but on the other hand I like it when the carrot is not visible
And about the airbrush, maybe at first, while you fill your hand, it is better to shade the gingerbread along the edge than the center. Because if I got to the wrong place in the center, but at the edges it is still easier to shade where necessary. (Horror, well, I explained! I hope you will understand what I mean

I drew cars :)
Size 10 cm.
Lera's dough

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, Katya, very cool !!!

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, Katya, what hilarious little cars, lovely! I want to ask about cutouts. I also saw it on the internet for sale, a plastic set of different diameters, but it seemed to me that they were rather low, like they would only take mastic, but 5-6 mm of dough is unlikely. What is your height of these molds, or maybe you have others, maybe the wrong plastic set that I came across?
And also - the lines on these gingerbread cookies are sooo symmetrical - even. How did you transfer the drawing to the gingerbread? Doesn't look like straight from the hand and the eye-diamond?

[Katerina79]

Katerina79, very cool gingerbread, so funny and colorful and neat, class!

[elena88]

elena88, Mona1, Irina Fina, girls, thanks!
Tanya, I have a plastic set, the simplest, there are 5-7 pieces (I don't remember exactly) of these molds of different sizes. This one is the largest by 10 cm.They are double-sided, one with ruffles, the other just a circle. Height 3.5 cm.

[Kat]

Kat, cool molds!

Now, you won't look at the topic for a couple of days and you won't see so much beauty: Elena and Katerina are so wonderful.
I tried icing from the site - it's such a difference
it is much more pleasant to do with it.
made a casket for my sister-not as neatly as I wanted (do not scold too much. Only the third month,
as I try to understand something in gingerbread)))

[cham]

cham, Katerina, a very interesting idea, the box is unusual, you see, this time your icing turned out to be snow-white! The lines are not very even and the icing on the chamomile is probably a bit thick, but I'm sure it will turn out better and better every time

Dough Lera sahara, skewers inserted into hot gingerbread, as soon as she pulled them out of the oven so Lera advised and on the advice Handcuffssoaked them in raw protein. Indeed, the skewers are glued tightly! Thanks to the girls for the tips. : rose: The first time I did it on skewers and made a few gingerbread cookies into which I stuck the skewers before baking (but I didn't like that, firstly, the raw gingerbread is deformed and, secondly, very few gingerbreads fit on a baking sheet), the rest of the gingerbreads, I stuck the skewers later , it turned out much faster and the gingerbread cookies do not deform. I really liked this method!

Irina- stunned what a beauty !!! And can I have a link, what kind of dough and how to soak skewers in protein (I also want to try)
Girls, forgive me for the stupid question: "It's still a month before Easter, you can already bake it. Will there be nothing with gingerbread?" It won't seem that he is old.

How to stick sticks in a gingerbread
I stick the skewers right after baking. I pulled the gingerbread cookies out of the oven, immediately transfer them from the sheet to the table and stick the skewers into the hot ones. The oven with them is inconvenient for me - they take up a lot of space, respectively, the parties are small and it takes a lot of time. Some sticks, however, loosen later, but for me this is not a problem. A little thick icing in the hole and that's it. And he is holding it dead - this year she barely broke the house And then, the walls broke off, but the icing seams remained

[Babovka]

Babovka, Olesya, it's a little different about sticks. Yrochka wrote like that, before sticking a skewer, she soaks it in a squirrel. I was looking the other day myself - I urgently needed to be straight, and I never found

Added Saturday 02 Apr 2016 07:41 AM

cham, well, you have already done the icing correctly, now you can hone your skills and work on accuracy
Irina Fina, adorable gingerbread! Neat and interesting. A ladybug on a hare's ear is so cute! Here are just the last girls in gray dresses, I would still draw a mouth. At least indicated

Added Saturday 02 Apr 2016 07:43

elena88, such an original wedding set! We have already written about the color. An interesting solution is not to pour the center separately near the flowers. And the heart is cool. Is it made of two halves or is it simple lacing for beauty?

Added Saturday 02 Apr 2016 07:45 AM

Katerina79, cute and very neat cars! And I still won't be going to do something difficult on such small gingerbread cookies (10 cm). I still need 13-14 centimeters

Girls, I have such a situation. A girl ordered from me one topper for a cake for a customer (she makes cakes). Made a cake with him, posted it on Instagram. Today another cake maker sends me a photo of this cake and asks for the exact same topper. So I sit now and think: what to answer her? I hate plagiarism within one city ... And I understand that if I refuse, he will ask for another ... Then my bear will be "plagiarized." In short, I don't know what to lean towards. Who has an opinion on this matter?

[Liza]

Liza, and on the topper in the corner with your initials you can sign how the artists sign the picture. Or slightly change her topper.

[cham]

cham, Katya, thank you for your kind words. The girls have already written about the test. As for the skewers, one protein (left over from the dough) poured the usual 200g into a glass. and put the skewers in there. just when the dough started making. I make half a portion and I have about 30 small gingerbread 8cm. So I roughly counted out the skewers and left them in the squirrel to soak. Another moment, one of the girls wrote, I put baking trays in the oven with a difference of 5 minutes in order to have time to insert the skewers and so that the next gingerbread did not burn out and did not cool down. I was afraid that they would quickly harden, but no, you normally have time to make one baking sheet, and I quickly removed the gingerbread cookies from the baking sheet, pressed them down a little so that a smoother surface was and then inserted skewers, Everything turned out very well! Thanks again to our girls for sharing their experience

Liza thanks for the praise. : a-kiss: You are probably right about the mouth, I have 3 more days before the fair, today or tomorrow I will make the last gingerbread, I will draw the mouth for the girls. It's just that the initial idea was Tilda, and she has no mouth, no nose, but her mouth, as if asking herself

Added Saturday 02 Apr 2016 09:46

another cake maker sends me a photo of this cake and asks for the exact same topper.

Maybe it’s worth talking to this craftswoman and making some changes, and not exactly such a topper.

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, not just beautiful, but gorgeous !!! My favorite is straight - white painting on lacquered red gingerbread. And you have so many different techniques here - and cross-stitching, and Richelieu, and cambric, and painting on the fill (although I could not see it, nothing is visible on the white egg, maybe I have such a monitor or when photographing it somehow blurred ).
And I really liked the bunny with the ladybug and the cat. Other bunnies are also good, but I did not understand a little about the egg that the bunny is holding. It rests against the nose and it seems that the top of the egg has been cut off. Or is it like a bunny bit off conceived?

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, thanks for the praise! A bunny with an egg, this is my mistake, first I had to fill my nose, and then the egg, but I did the opposite, so it happened. I'm not a magician, I'm just learning

So I sit now and think: what to answer her? I hate plagiarism within the same city ...

I can't understand from whom you found the plagiarism? at home? they ordered you not someone else's, but yours. You take it again, and what they will do next with your topper, you should not worry too much. you are not a topper, but repeated the gingerbread on a stick, at the same time your own!

neptuha, Valentine! For the first gingerbread, this is very cool !!!! I started right away with people! You're doing fine! It turned out very nice! And the faces came out well, especially the Cossack. The gingerbread is bright and interesting. And draw straight lines, you need training, for example, you can practice on a file.

[elena88]

elena88, the heart is cool. Is it made of two halves or is it simple lacing for beauty?

Lisa, thank you, a heart of two halves. When I bake, I cut with a knife in the middle and lay the foil. This ensures that the cut remains clear and does not deform during baking. I paint like two different gingerbread. And then I connect it with lacing. Although, probably, you can not bother. Just make holes and lace up. But it seems to me that the individual halves are more fun.

Added Sunday 03 Apr 2016 11:01

And yet, Lisa, about the plagiarism of my works is a far-fetched topic. Don't screw yourself up. In your opinion, the singer won't sing his song twice in the same city !? do not make me laugh! Do it and don't bother!

[AlinkaM]

AlinkaM, You did not indicate in your profile - where you live - country, city or village, where demand is very low. ... How to answer - in hryvnia, rubles, dollars, or something else. Depends on demand. From the standard of living of people. How you advertise yourself. On the quality of work. I advise you to look at at least on the site of the Fair of Masters such works and knock off 30-50 percent from that price. If there are no buyers, subtract more. Here, like the classic "Demand creates supply."
And then hardly anyone will say specific figures - how much it costs.

You have not specified in your profile

corrected, I wrote, in rubles, I am from Simferopol, Crimea
I was looking at the fair, there is nothing like this ...
I will be grateful for your help !!!!!

[AlinkaM]

And I haven't finished my volumetric ones yet. I've already painted all the Easter ones, but these ... I just can't bring myself to, although I've dreamed of such gingerbread since last year

Added Monday 04 Apr 2016 05:30

it is already a question of demand. How much they will give.

it is already a question of demand. How much they will give.

You can't say more precisely!)

Directly the same is not present, but similar is here,

mine are larger, and the work is different)))
and if, on the advice of another, reduce the price by 50%, then 300 re will be released ...
with a gingerbread stand 25 cm, the egg itself is 16 cm
and in the example the egg is 8.5 cm

and if, on the advice of another, reduce the price by 50%, then 300 re will be released.

eh, Alina, that's the trouble, our work is not appreciated, at least in monetary terms. As far as I know, in your region the prices for confectionery are very low, I ordered the cake myself in the summer, I know the prices, and here it’s not even a cake, but a gingerbread.
If you have a solvent target audience, then set the price that suits you, and if the average temperature in the hospital, then it is very low there and here it is up to you to decide whether you will work for that kind of money or not.
To be honest, I didn’t like all the gingerbread cookies, the first photographs are not very neat work, but their size is certainly impressive, and this is a lot of work anyway.
Better tell us how you bake them and on what, and preferably what recipe

you yourself do not disappear for a long time.

Lenus, I will try not to disappear, but now the whole family has picked up the virus, we will not get out in any way.
The mouth from coughing and sneezing does not close, and as an evil order is urgent, for a boy for a year old, the girl asked for openwork hearts in a violet-oil color, and so that everyone is different.
Here's how to draw so that your hand does not twitch while coughing?
In general, I barely mastered 27 pieces, spent the whole day to paint somehow, the lines are still crooked in places, I am not very happy with the work, but I have no strength to redo.

Added Monday, 04 Apr 2016 1:58 PM

Gingerbread according to my recipe, the size of hearts is 11-12 cm, I specifically wanted convex and voluminous ones, they turned out to be almost 3 cm thick, but soft. True, pouring on such is hard to do

Very beautiful, what a painting, all different, super!
And what is the color of the dye called?

harmful78, Lisa, very cute Easter gingerbread!
Very neat and festive!

[Sahara]

Sahara, Oh, what a beauty !!! : girl-swoon: Such a beautiful color and such lace !! Just beautiful. I'm also interested in what kind of dye it is

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, cool gingerbread !!!
All stylish, high quality, well done!
I really like girls with girls!

And what is the color of the dye called?

Girls are American violet (violet).

I want to say that I have been looking for such a rich color for a long time, I already have a whole collection of these violets (gel, dry, paste, liquid), from almost all manufacturers, but somehow everything is not right.
I once had Amerikolor, but for some reason it did not stir completely, small pigment particles of the color of potassium permanganate or fuchsia remained in the icing, and as the icing lasted, these particles became more. I already broke my head - I could not understand what was the matter, and such a riddle still happened with some flowers, but not with all.
Then Lada raised the question about the deadlines, I reviewed all the bottles, some of them had no deadlines and I thought they were overdue.
In general, I bought several new ones with good terms and it turned out that the problem was resolved.
Bottom line - you definitely need to look at the deadlines, most often overdue ones come across in rare colors, such as peach, dusty rose, fuchsia, etc.

mine are bigger and work different

Well, nothing has been written about the dimensions. And about work ... For me personally, there is nothing more difficult than embroidery. I feel sorry for my eyes and try not to do it anywhere at all. Although on voluminous, it generally looks gorgeous.

the egg itself is 16cm

Sah on him. paper can be glued.And then I mocked and sat now at my 8-centimeter ones looked and thought: how to stick a picture there ???

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, oh I can’t, what a beauty !!!! Moreover, in such a painful condition ..
And I did not know that such a valuable color "Violet")) I will take care))

[AlinkaM]

AlinkaM, but with the price ... I still don't know how much to put my volumetric ones for. One thing is clear - for 400-450 rubles (as I saw on Instagram) no one will buy them from us, if not decorate them. Therefore, I decided to simplify my work as much as possible and chose a couple of the simplest options. And for the same reason I asked for the smallest forms - so that it would be cheaper in the end. I, of course, have ideas for decoration, but I will do it as a gift. Then, when I have thousands of subscribers and hundreds of regular customers, then I can bet as much as I want. In the meantime, as the girls wrote, we put "how much they will give"

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lerochka, get well soon! In our time, to get sick, you need very good health. Otherwise, the doctors will completely kill you. Hold on and get out. And I will wait for your beauty. I really liked the color combination of hearts! Delicate and effective at the same time.

Girls are American violet (violet).

Lerochka, thanks!
I have it! I didn't even know that it gives such a beautiful color!

[harmful78]

harmful78, Lizok, pretty gingerbread. I liked the set with the letters ХВ. And bunnies on a stand. I wanted to make such a chicken on a stand, I thought it over yesterday, but questions arose - how reliably the figure stands on the stand (maybe there are still some chopiks stuck into the stand and the figure sits on them?) Well, toothpicks fall off, otherwise God forbid, eats a child with them. Or caramel? But you wrote - icing. Is it reliable? I'm afraid that the bag will not break off when you carry it. And another question - the reverse side of a bunny or other similar gizmos is not signed? Is there just a rough sole of a gingerbread, or is it also a fill?

Added Monday 04 Apr 2016 06:16 PM

Sahara, Lerochka, just some kind of heartfelt madness! I really like it. I looked at each gingerbread and did not find two similar. Where do you get so much fantasy? And where is the time to dream up so much? You have some kind of rubber day, like 24 hours too, but it feels like you have much longer. Just an incredible girl!

[harmful78]

Nice little girls help with advice, I want to make roses for gingerbread, I got my cherished nozzles, mixed icing in the thick, but it turns out some kind of garbage, icing behind the nozzle stretches, it does not turn out beautifully
How thick should the glaze be ?! Or maybe there are some other options ?!))) Thank you all for your answers!

[Lelik]

Girls, my dear, thanks for the high marks! I am very pleased that you devote time to my work, I calmed down a little, I didn't even want to take pictures, in my opinion some kind of daub came out.
I do not like individual orders, I am always worried that I will not meet the expectations of my clients.

You have some kind of rubber day, it seems like also 24 hours, but it feels like you have much longer.

Tanyusha, now I worked like a turtle, I spent the whole day painting.
After all, I do wholesale, and mostly fast food, for which I spend no more than one and a half to two minutes, except for large ones, such as large eggs and hares with a basket, for 10-15 minutes. And then I had to strain myself, in theory the gingerbread is small, complex laces cannot be dispersed to draw, at the same time, the client wanted straight openwork, openwork, and showed all the pictures of big hearts to me. I wanted to like tulle and to decorate with pearls I could hardly dissuade, said that since I was in restrained tones (stopped at oil and 2 tones of purple), then there is no need for excess, especially since I do not have oil-colored pearls.
I had to fantasize on the go, drew what came to mind

Added Monday 04 Apr 2016 07:48 PM

I will also show you a basket with balls for these hearts, for some reason the oil color in the photo turned out to be yellow, purple balls are several tones lighter than the hearts.As far as I understand, this is their candy bar (or whatever it is) is planned

Added on Monday 04 Apr 2016 7:54 PM

How thick should the glaze be ?!

Lelik, icing should be very thick, I beat it long enough and add more powder than according to the recipe.
But density needs to be achieved not only by adding powder, otherwise the icing will be very dense and clogged.
In terms of density, something like this - when I pull out the scapula, the protein peak should tilt slightly, but not fall or bend at all. I don't know if it's clear ...

girls, I can't wait to show it from the computer, and then I'll go read you from the tablet. I'm very tired, but impressed so were the business cards packed with my gingerbreadso on the kendibar, there were two plates of gingerbread and one with gingerbread on a stick.I'll go back to the topic on kendybars and boast

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, what a festive little basket! It looks very harmonious. I am amazed at your speed! How's that 1.5 min for a gingerbread? Even 15 minutes is not enough for me! I was so proud that in one evening I painted my last gingerbread set. Well. Which is "Sasha + Masha". And the police set for two evenings painted the unfortunate four gingerbread. Nooooo ..... I'm up to you, like up to the sky
