We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[lilycha]

lilycha, I don’t understand what you want to do with the rest of the varnish: pour it and give it to customers as a variant of paint for painting, exposing them to the danger of poisoning or reuse for varnish ?.

I'd rather buy a photophone, otherwise the process of photographing sometimes brings me to white heat

Well, I had the same story, I ordered, paid, received and now I cry every time I take it out! Because I was not sent what I expected, and there was no point in sending it back, and there is no guarantee that I will return the background and the money back to me. I'll have to redo it myself, now I see that it's not so difficult to make it myself, it's more difficult to redo it ((because you need to disassemble this first, and then paint the slats in the same color, but where can I get it ?!
The fact that I received gaps between the boards by half a centimeter! Now all the boards need to be disconnected and put on new slats without gaps. And the quality of the boards leaves much to be desired, it is dangerous to take with bare hands, you can catch splinters.

[Vei]

Vei, Elizabeth, it's a nightmare And for your money. Now I will know, and if I suddenly decide to order, then only here. We have a couple of craftsmen, but I can't afford the price yet. More precisely, I'm not yet ready to spend money on the background. It seems that there are more necessary things

Although sometimes there is no direct strength as you want the background. That's how it is today. I made a couple of voluminous hearts. To photograph - well, I didn't know at all on what, I took out a tablecloth. By the way, rate the hearts. It turned out not quite what I wanted. I wanted to make white with gilding, but there was no time to think it over - there was absolutely no time left. Therefore, I only like the side with the letters. The other will have to be thought over. I put chocolates inside

[harmful78]

harmful78, beautifully.
And you can make a photobox yourself from a large box. At least with a white background, so that you don't get the tablecloth like this.
I once threw-threw myself with a tablecloth, and broke some gingerbread. I’m going to make a box, but I’m not going to.

And you can make a photobox yourself from a large box.

we are not talking about a photo box, but about a photophone, this is different. There are decorative boards with various surfaces from wooden boards to concrete, respectively, of any color and texture.
I ordered 2 double-sided wooden backgrounds, white and turquoise. But in my background there are huge gaps between the boards ((

[kolobashka]

kolobashka, photoboxing is completely different. I don't see him at all for gingerbread. What I would like is: girl_romashka: wooden. At one time I had a snag - a sheet of scrap paper under a tree. I really liked how gingerbread looked on it. But then I put it on a damp surface and the background was covered

Well, duck there you can make any background, even from the same paper under a tree.

Hi girls ! I finished the box today. All of the leftovers (a little dough, a picture and dry icing). There was only dough left for the casket, so I took a picture with Easter eggs for decoration. Well, in general, as always, sikos nakos))) in the evening they will still eat mine, even in the morning they wanted to gobble up barely beat off to take a picture))) The last photo shows that one edge bent a little after cooling down. Any tips on how to avoid this in the future?)

ValentinkaB-beauty, delicate box! I'm a beginner, maybe I'm not doing it right.
When parts of a casket, house, etc.- I take it out of the oven and put something heavy on for a few minutes (saucepan)))

[ValentinkaB]

ValentinkaB, very beautiful embroidery, looks great! And I love these pictures, from this series. The sides are made much more neatly, at the top of the line they are crooked, probably making the cover first. It's a pity to give it up to be eaten, let the box be painted.

Elya_lug, El, well, yes, if you look closely, it is not very even on the lid, but the overall impression is good. Such a whole lace and picture is tender

[Elya_lug]

Elya_lug, yes the lid was the first))) I, on the contrary, feel sorry for when my gingerbreads do not eat, but admire. This is food first and foremost! And you can admire in the pictures))AlinkaM, this is a very useful and convenient thing. as a part of dry protein, powder and starch. If it's very interesting, you can read it in Google there in detail, you can read about the composition and how to breed.

[ValentinkaB]

ValentinkaB, very delicate casket. I will definitely do something like that! And my corners are bent when it turns out that the edge when rolling is a little thinner. This is often the case on gingerbread, which I cut by hand

[Vera]

Vera, postribayka bunny is unusual and cool. Cool idea. And how much wall thickness? I always wonder, what if baked of different thicknesses, how to connect? Valentine, the box is tender and festive, it’s a pity to be eaten right away. Can someone make a surprise?

I have a lot of relatives, I have someone to give, it means to fill my hand)))) I made a ship, I suffered. I wanted to make a varnish, it went in bubbles, uneven (thanks to the girls from that Temka, they said that it dried too much at a high temperature). Then I didn't like the color of the sailboat and the water.
And the letters are uneven (applied and removed several times). I see all my flaws and I know, don't throw slippers at me (I'm not a mazahist)

[cham]

cham, figase! What a complex design. Was it necessary or just wanted?
Any color, in principle, is possible, this is not the point. But the flowers on the water do not fit very harmoniously into the picture. And the inscriptions are still better to write without transfer.

[cham]

cham, the idea is good! I would make the sail white and embossed.

A little bit of my Easter
Eggs 11 * 8cm

[kolobashka]

kolobashka-Thanks for the advice.
We have water lilies on the lake, so I painted them)))) Probably overdid it))))
ValentinkaB- I'm not very embossed yet And I didn't want white to merge with the edging of the boat))))
And in shape, I want something voluminous
Girls thank you for not scolding (to be honest I was afraid that so criticism

[Verochka]

Verochka, eggs - green, orange and three burgundy. And I put it like this - just the bags are wide - 15 cm, and the eggs are 8 * 11. I wanted at least a little so that it was not so empty on the sides. Tomorrow my sister is going to Kiev, she took them, and a bunch of my other Easter eggs as presents for friends.

[Mona1]

Mona1, eggs well, just cool !!! There is no other word for it!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, correctly written - cool! Such beautiful ones!

cham, Catherine, I'll throw only one slipper - everything is done inaccurately (filling and icing). But you, I think, can already see it. Tell me how you did it better? On what the sail was baked, on what the boat was assembled, on what it was fastened ... The idea is interesting, it will just have to be brought to mind when you gain experience.

cham, Katya, a very interesting and complex idea with a ship, I generally don't take up bulky gingerbread. Please tell me how you baked it, is your ship hollow inside?

Added Thursday, April 21, 2016 10:03 AM

harmful78, Lisa, beautiful hearts turned out. You always get such neat openwork lines! I always redo a hundred times.
And I last week, volumetric molds from a Slovak store, cat. Lera gave the link. But they sent me the molds in a package and some of them were bent during the shipment! It's good at least only the edges of the hearts are bent, so you can align. I wrote them an email and attached photos of the bent ones, but I haven't received an answer yet.
Maybe someone will order from them, ask them to pack it in a box, and if you pay through e-banking from your account to their account, then only about two euros was deducted from me for the transfer (from Greece to Slovakia) I don't know, but maybe and for Russia and Ukraine, if it is also profitable to pay via the Internet (I first went to the bank and wanted to make a transfer from my account to the IBAN, there the fee was 22 euros, and I had only 27 euros)
Maybe this information will help someone, I know that many girls there wanted to place an order.

I'm not talking about a photo box, but about a photophone, that's different.

is it like that?
If so, I saw somewhere to replace it. instead of a vertical wall, we take a laptop and a computer screen with any picture you like. and instead of horizontal - a cut of laminate or other material. you can even have a laminated magazine page. can be illuminated with a lamp from the desired side - top, left, right
I found a photo for clarity)

and if you try blopen / such markers, in which to blow / we once had. I didn't find it, they probably threw it out / they ran out very quickly) / maybe someone has to try how the paint will fall out of them

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, the eggs are perfect, I agree with the girls by all 1000%. Others are great too, did a great job.

and if you try blopen / such markers to blow /

and saliva will not fly out along with the paint? somehow does not come out hygienically.

I think there are different cameras and shouldn't. but you can not blow, but with a pear, as here

Hello! One slipper is not scary
Yes, I have a lot of jambs))))
About the boat - 19 cm in height:
Fix Price-bought an egg-box (like their metal)! wrapped with tracing paper, 2 halves are a box, and one is a boat.
The sail is a beer can - in tracing paper. pre-made two holes with a stick from the chups (top and bottom)
On a skewer, it was all strengthened, in the bottom with the help of icing and mastic, and the sail itself was slightly fixed on board for icing.
thanks to the girls for the idea of ​​how to make a flag (bake-then insert-a soaked skewer in a squirrel)
The deck-bow and stern are hearts cut off))))

AlinkaM, looks super cute, I really thought at first: Chanterelle. just what is she doing in the hollow? Then I began to look, I looked at my ears - not a chanterelle. Yeah, squirrel. ))) Mastic, right?

[Alina]

Alina, are you kidding us?)))

are you kidding us?)))

Probably ... As far as I remember, when exhibiting the work, you need to write what kind of test it is made of, what it is decorated with and indicate the dimensions. Now we rarely write dough, because many people bake according to Lera's recipe. But it was possible to write about the decoration method and size ...

My Easter Chickens. I found the idea with MM on the forum. I didn’t know how to paint the leaves under the eggs, I don’t have any attachments, I’m a beginner as a cook. It's also an ambush with dyes. I think everything is still ahead of me))



The quality of the photo is not very good, the lighting is a problem.

Girls, I also want to ask for advice. I have icing when wet - it shines, but dries up, and becomes rough and matte. And some in the photo - glossy. How do you do it?

[marikosha]

marikosha, Marina, super chickens! I like the first red-tailed one how it looks deliciously wet on wet!
And make a glossy fill - some dry the drenched gingerbread in the oven at a low temperature, I don't know how many degrees. But I do not dry, I already have a glossy one - I just make the icing thicker for filling. That is, not straight, so that it flows by itself, but shoves it in the corners with a toothpick, then I take the gingerbread from the barrels and vigorously move it back and forth on the table, and lightly tap on the table. In this case, the surface is leveled and bubbles are expelled. I pierce it with a needle.
P.S. Perhaps the icing recipe plays a role. I have not according to Spence, but Lyuba Prus-2, there is not lemon juice, but crystalline lemon, and there is much more acid in icing than in a spoonful of lemon juice, maybe the acid affects the gloss (there is a link to the recipe in the table of contents). Now I put in it approximately for every 10g of protein - 50-55g of powdered sugar. And yet, there is not written in the recipe, but now, after I put the powder, I mixed it by hand with whipped protein with lemon so that all the powder gets wet, then I turn on the mixer for literally 15-20 seconds to just mix, then turn it off, cover the bowl with whisk with a damp cloth and leave for 20-30 minutes. Then I continue mixing at low speed until the bitter end, so to speak.
Or maybe glossiness depends on the presence of starch in the powder, I won't tell you here, like where there is a bit of starch, that is, gloss.

[marikosha]

marikosha, Marina, cool chickens, and I especially like the second one
As for the shine, I will add to what Tanya has already written, I read here on the forum that if you dry gingerbread under a table lamp, a mother-of-pearl shine appears. True, I did not try to do that, I have no table lamp. And as I understand it, an incandescent lamp is needed there, but I have all the economical lamps at home. : - \ But I'm still going to get an ordinary table lamp, so that I have mother-of-pearl gingerbread and I think that this way the gingerbread itself will not become a crouton

[marikosha]

marikosha, I also like the first one, it's so bright! If the icing is rough, it means you are diluting it too thinly. It should be a little thicker. I won't say about the gloss. If you dry it in the oven, yes, there is a gloss, but the gingerbread cookies dry up. I also dried under the lamp, whether or not it was glossy - I don't remember
About the leaves. Cut the cornet or bag with a corner, like a leaf attachment and go! I did this on a gingerbread basket for the first time, it turned out quite acceptable. The main thing is not to miscalculate with the density, so as not to spread.Here is a photo under the spoiler, leaves without a nozzle are made

sorry, I'm fixing it)))
I always make only according to the recipe for roe, I like the smell, and the shelf life is huge ()))
size12 * 12
decorated with mastic, well, painted a little))))

Girls, I look at all the beauty and rejoice for all the girls. How bright and festive everyone is! And I have a sadness: there are baked and half-toned gingerbread. And for a week I can't bring myself to sit down to paint. Every day I swear to myself that I'll get up and start. And in the morning I start all kinds of work and drag on until the last, until the day is over. No mood for gingerbread! and it would be fine not to bake. And then they stand and make me nervous. And there are no special ideas. And not special either. Every day I sit on Instagram and Pinterest. I think it might light up? No. And I sit like a fool. The small one has already eaten half of the gingerbread. Is it just me depression, or what?

[elena88]

elena88, do not be upset, this is a creative crisis, this also happens to me))) only I have a better problem, I always do a lot of things and more, and ... well, in short, I have a gingerbread kingdom at home))))

And here I was making prizes for the library night. Small books 10 cm, large about 14. There was also Pushkin in A4 format, but I have already shown him. Initially, I planned to gild Gogol, but there was not enough time

Added Saturday 23 Apr 2016 08:10

There were also figures for the cake, but somehow it did not work out with them right away. They asked for brown, for a man. Not only did I redo the top three twice, but in the end I also got confused with the pattern. And in the end, I am still unhappy with the result: in my opinion, I overloaded it a lot, I had to put fewer points. I thought in the end that probably a very harmful young man, since I was so tormented with him



And one more girl, this time fair. After I made it, the question arose: how to make blonde hair more natural? Or will they be yellow anyway?

[mamo4ka]

mamo4ka, great Easter, the lamb was a hit last year, someone came up with a great idea, looks so cute. Chickens want to make a little tuft.
AlinkaM, a miracle in the hollow !!!!
marikosha, pretty chickens! Rough icing - too liquid.
elena88, Len, I'm with you, too, I will not force myself to make gingerbread, by nightfall my strength disappears and I want to stretch my legs, and not jump around the table.
harmful78, Lisa, good letters, I have enough dots. Are the books cool, have you given them to active readers? I wonder who went to the library at night?

No, these are the winners of various competitions. Hope the winners recognize the silhouettes.
