We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanechka, what a cool fisherman !!! I already took it to the bookmarks. I have such humorous drawings, well, I really like it, thanks for the picture. I did the gingerbread perfectly well: girl_love: neat and well-chosen colors, well done! You covered the gingerbread with varnish?

[Ira]

Yes, Ira, varnish. I cover a couple of minutes before the end of baking, so maybe this is the wrong varnish, I don't know, but it's more convenient for me than cold coating and - into the oven. In addition, the gingerbread is soft, because it does not dry out in the oven a second time, if it is varnished cold.
I added a yellow Ukrasovsky dry dye + a bit of green to the gingerbread varnish with the fisherman to make a mustard color.

[svetik]

Girls, thank you all for the praise. I want to say that I am a very, very mediocre artist, I just found a way to transfer the drawings to the gingerbread, and the rest is not so difficult, it just remains to paint. Try it, in fact, not everything is as difficult as it seems.
It's hard for me to say how much time I spent. But it didn't take much time, maybe 2 hours I drew a drawing with icing, and the next day with a brush, maybe two hours too. But I am writing this very approximately, because I was in no hurry and did not observe the time and it flew so unnoticed, so I don’t know for sure. Next time, as I draw a big gingerbread, I will definitely pay attention to it

So I draw whatever is horrible. Now I will upload another batch

Very good gingerbread, I liked everything! And THIS is how many flowers need to be bred, this thought alone tires me! And as for the heart, it also seems to me that it would be better on a light blue background, and then the stork must have black and white plumage, not pink (why did you make pink plumage on the tips of the wings?) And I don't remember very well, I need to look at pictures on the internet, but it seems to me that storks have an orange beak and legs, not red ones, and it would look better, Lizochka, sorry for the criticism

svetik, Sveta, such a big gingerbread! It is decorated with icing, and the flowers and the angel are made of chocolate? Did I understand correctly? I like the combination of colors, it turned out very cute gingerbread, but I have no experience in decorating with chocolate

Craftswomen, tell me how to achieve such a curl relief effect? Should the icing be very thick?

[holgan]

holgan, you need to press the tip of the nozzle to the gingerbread and stretch

Sveta, such a big gingerbread! It is decorated with icing, and the flowers and the angel are made of chocolate? Did I understand correctly? I like the combination of colors, it turned out very cute gingerbread, but I have no experience in decorating with chocolate

absolutely right - decorated with icing, more precisely, made of all the leftovers, starting with the dough, a piece of dough remained and icing, so that would not be wasted for nothing, I decided to make my niece instead of a postcard for graduation, I really like decorating with chocolate, maybe that's the only I do, I don’t know, I use silicone molds for chocolate.

first craquelure

Gingerbread for a charity auction. size 12.5, 8 cm

icing jewelry? I honestly have not tried to do it from icing in molds, probably wait a long time until they dry?

ledi, Vera, I liked it very first! and the bucket with roses the rest are also cute. But these are the best! Verunya, where do you get the boxes? I have a problem with that.

harmful78, Lisa, the girls are right: a stork with black feathers on its wings would look more advantageous. And the background could be airbrushed on one side. That would be your happiness. but the gingerbread looks good anyway.

And I finally tortured my gymnasts.

what nice little gymnasts - well done just))

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, what a difficult, well, very difficult job. It is generally difficult to draw people realistically, especially in acrobatic pirouettes, especially considering that this is not a pencil or paints, but icing. Everything is very clear - figures and faces, well done! And the airbrush, of course - THING!

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, very good delicate gingerbread cookies, especially with brooches I like (brooches from mastic?) And the craquelure turned out well, I still won't be going to make it and I'm also interested in where you buy boxes

elena88, Lena, what cool gymnasts !!! Everyone has different hairstyles, hair color and such pretty faces! And I really liked how you made them the color on the sleeves! And an airbrush, of course! immediately the gingerbread looks different! In general, some exclamation marks !!!

[elena88]

elena88, The gymnasts are super! Very neat and beautiful! I'll chuck it, blow it and I'll get something similar!

Lena, the first gingerbread cookies were covered with paint residues and baked with a coating in the oven, and the rest were dried with a hair dryer.

Here is such a gingerbread in combination with chocolate flowers, the size is about 25X18, the only negative is when I packed it in a bag, while we arrived in the car, it is naturally already hot, the angel melted a little and stuck to the bag, it is better not to put it in the bag when it's hot, a useful experience )))

How do you get such flowers from chocolate?

[ledi]

ledi, Ver, as I say, I have suffered. Therefore, close to show nizz. That only these gingerbread cookies did not get up to me! The air in the house is damp - it rains every day. I already turned on the heating and periodically dried it in the oven. All the same, the gingerbread becomes soft. The frosting was showing off for unknown reasons. I'm already sinning on eggs. I weigh protein and powder on an electronic scale, proportions according to Spence. And the glaze flows. Really, damn it, it flows and falls through when it dries! Especially the legs of the gymnasts suffered, I add powder so that the icing is denser - it lays down like bumps. Sprinkles in the corner. I didn't have time to put it in the oven quickly, so the paint on the glaze began to migrate from it. Madhouse "Chamomile". So, Vera, I danced around these gingerbread dances with tambourines. Moreover, the customers made claims for the fact that the gingerbread was different. It turns out that it was necessary to make one picture. Now they do not know how to distribute these gingerbread between children. I fell and I'm lying around. found a problem!

How do you get such flowers from chocolate?

in silicone molds, melt the chocolate and pour it into the mold, for a couple of minutes in the freezer and you're done.

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, I had it with bears at the prom, and the border guards too. Ising does not like moisture, it dries for a long time. Well, and customers will not please, next time you will ask. I wanted the best, but I was not surprised.

wow, gotta try. Did you paint chocolate with special dyes?

wow, gotta try. Did you paint chocolate with special dyes?

no, the usual ones are. white chocolate melts very badly, pink is just fine, I take a disposable pastry bag, throw a couple of pieces of chocolate, then in the microwave and make sure not to overheat, advice - if the white chocolate is overheated and the liquid has gone, it doesn't matter, we take it and wrinkle it like plasticine, after this procedure we get the most shaping chocolate, and it is also better to add the dye directly to the bag, it is better to start with light colors and add the dye darker.

Moreover, the customers made claims for the fact that the gingerbread was different. It turns out that it was necessary to make one picture. Now they do not know how to distribute these gingerbread between children.

when I did my gymnasts, the customers sent me a list of names with hair color (dark, light, red). I did the blonde Olya, the brown-haired Yana, and so on.
Then each girl was given a gingerbread with the name and hair color that matched exactly to her.

girls, they ordered me a paw patrol, and there are a bunch of small details, of course I'll draw, but I'm afraid it will be sloppy. I'm ready to order sugar paper. Or is it better waffle? And how to attach them to the gingerbread? Didn't work with either one or the other. It's just a disaster! Maybe someone has already done these? Please show me!

[Vei]

Vei, Liz, they sent me a sample where there were different gymnasts. I said that I will not do exactly such, but I will take into account the wishes. In my opinion, I did even better. There were no more wishes. And the problem has been sucked out of the blue. I have already suggested to them to distribute blindly: who will pull out which. And the intrigue will continue, the gingerbread will be handed out without offense.
And I don't even know about icing ... I whipped it, as usual. Then I stood for 5-10 minutes, I look liquid, I still whipped it. There is no sense. I just took eggs from an unknown manufacturer from a nearby store. I sin on them. Or was it necessary to immediately beat the protein to the peaks, and then add the powder? In general, it's too late to talk, I gave the gingerbread to customers.

[elena88]

elena88If different samples themselves showed - what's the question at all! And different ones are more interesting - to distribute them at random, they will look at each other, it's more interesting than all the same! It's just that people are capricious, they themselves don't know what they want.

[pua_26]

pua_26, Yul, beautiful fixes. And how did you transfer the drawing?

sorry for criticism

Sorry, of course. That's why I brought it, to hear advice. The legs in the drawings are not orange, but some yellowish, but this one was red.Here on the sample that they threw off to me there the legs were just yellowish. And although the feathers were blue, not black (there was a sample for the boy), they looked good. But there the stork was as terrible as a pelican, I went to look for another. I found this one, and his legs were red in the drawing ... In short, I drew. First I drew, and then I look - something is not right. But there was no time to redo it. And of course an airbrush would not hurt either. Well, I don't have an airbrush. Do you want

Now we have to do something similar, also a big heart with a picture. But people will be there. And I even know what to do: immediately fill the background with color or then tint along the edges with dry ones ... Advise something ...

customers have made claims for the fact that the gingerbread is different

Lena! This is a mockery! such a colossal work! Everyone is so different, so beautiful! That's really really "the taste and color ..." You now write that everything was flowing with you. A proven powder? This time I bought a new powder, it was by weight, they said that it was super for icing. And she turns out to be with starch and they did not tell me about it and how much of it there is unknown. It smells like starch and is pretty strong. I am already silent about the fact that from iodine it became black and purple. So, I made gingerbread with her, and she also flowed straight! Moreover, in terms of density, it is normal, it seems even thicker than usual, but flows down from the surface. And you make it even thicker - it instantly becomes covered with a crust, shorter, I have worn out more. I'll post the results of the torment in an hour. I was glad that I took only 2 kg, otherwise there was an idea to immediately grab more

Girls, here's my assorted company. Meet

A heart, a scroll and books 10 cm each, a girl 17 cm, the rest about 13-15 cm. Of course, I always have problems with faces - this time I kind of drew an eye normally, but it turned out to be a jaw. Black and gray creature is for a fan of computer shooters

[harmful78]

harmful78, Lisa, very good original and all such different gingerbreads, I liked everything, but especially the pony, so pretty! And the computer creature is very well done and drawn, and the girl turned out pretty, but with faces it is generally difficult, you daub a little and the whole face does not look that way, I drew an eye to the girl on a gingerbread 6 times: girl-swoon: so far it turned out bearable, I thought I’ll make a hole, every time I wiped it until it turned out, but in general, faces are difficult for me too

[harmful78]

harmful78, everything is very cool. A pony is lovely, and a computer creature is so difficult

Thank you girls! To be honest, the computer creature was one of the easy ones: two colors for filling, and then I simply ran white stripes over the dried one. The pony will be more difficult and even more difficult Flash and the racer who is with him. Today I just finished painting, tomorrow I'll post it

By the way, the gingerbread for the geek was originally planned to be different, more elegant. I wanted to print it on sah. paper. but when the time came, it turned out that the company that prints did not have sugar paper! And she is alone in our city !!! So I had to improvise

Girls tell me the recipe for gingerbread without honey? She did what she did, but she's losing shape!

Here is my flash, the size is about 14x9 cm, and the racer, he is 10 cm high.I did it in two versions: the one on the left is flooded with colored icing, the one on the right is flooded with white and then painted on top with food dyes

[harmful78]

harmful78, be stunned
-I want to learn so much too!

[harmful78]

harmful78, Liza, class! And soooo neatly painted with paints, the colors are so juicy, all the details look so contrasting, just wonderful. And the machine is super! I especially liked the wheels. These light stripes - reflections on them - is it gray icing or is it a black white paint?

[pua_26]

pua_26, great fixies! harmful78, wow how much I brought! Liza, what about you, what is easier to paint with icing or paints? Both gingerbread turned out great!

[cham]

cham, learn, it's not as difficult as it seems. Only dreary. Before I started drawing this sweet couple, I literally fought in hysterics. It seemed so many colors, so many details And then I started and nothing

Thank you girls
Mona1, Tanya, all highlights are white paint. Already drew on dried

ledi, Vera, I liked the colors more. Much faster and easier. Only one problem: my paints took a long time to dry, almost two days. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know, or this is how it should be

Added Monday, 06 Jun 2016, 01:35 PM

I will also add that at first I really liked the flash. In the morning he seemed to me not so beautiful. And then in the photo I became even less beautiful and all the shortcomings immediately began to seem huge to me

Added Monday, 06 Jun 2016, 01:37 PM

Girls, and I have another question: does anyone know what the gingerbread cookies are covered with so white here? It's not icing, is it?

🔗

what is so white covered with gingerbread?

Lisa, it seems to me that this is more liquid icing, a little thicker than when we make lace-lace, but I think so, maybe this is not right
The last gingerbread cookies are cool, they look brighter with paints, but my paints also dry for a very long time, I already diluted a little with water and vodka still dries for a long time

[Ira]

Ira, what do you think, apply it with a brush?

Yes, with a soft, wide brush, I tried to make a background on New Year's gingerbread with a snowman and a bear, but I also ran strips there, so I made it a little thicker, and if there was a little thinner icing, it probably would have happened ... Since Pove I had a big fill, then I poured it with a spoon and then smeared it with a brush. Liza, if you want, look in my messages, I put these gingerbread there. I am now at work and I can’t download these pictures from my phone again: pardon: if the message # 57 of January 24 is useful

Girls, I want to share some experience, I think it might come in handy. I have long wanted to write, but everything flew out of my head.
First, I got used to freezing the remains of icing. It just got to me that I was doing multi-colored icing, and then you don't know what to do with it, usually I just kept it in the refrigerator, in a sealed package. But as long as possible, three or four days, then if it doesn't come in handy, I throw it away. And then it's a shame - once they order something, and this color is needed a little, but no longer. Breeding again. So I decided to test it, put it in the freezer. I have small round glasses without legs, I usually put them in them, if I need a little, so I store the leftovers in them now, covering them with cling film, and then wrapping them in a bag. Or in a larger container, if a lot is found. Lay there for a couple of weeks, took it out when it came in handy, took it out in advance so that it would thaw on the table, then mixed it well with a spoon - and into the filling. It turned out great, I did not notice any difference from the freshly prepared filling, and neither did I in the result.
The second point is when you paint mainly with one color (usually white), and then some small details - you need to make a stroke in a different color. And then usually what solution is either a cornet or a new bag with a nozzle (or an adapter and a nozzle). BUT: for some reason, the line does not always come out of the cornet, which is round in cross-section, and sometimes it looks like a ribbon, and it is necessary to fold this cornet, unnecessary body movements. And smear the bag because of a drop of icing, and then a lot of it remains in the adapter and in the nozzle itself. In general, now for quite a few colored lines I do this - I dilute a little (literally a teaspoon) of icing of the desired color, then take a clean nozzle, fill it with this icing (or some kind of tidy spoon, or a spoon handle, in general, I stuff it there as much as possible.Then I remove the nozzle from the bag in which there was white (or whatever I drew there) icing, and in its place I put a nozzle with colored icing. All. Enough to circle a few good gingerbreads before everything colored is squeezed out and white again. I have several attachments for each number, so it often happens that all of them are used in this way. At the same time, there are practically no residues of colored icing.
Well, here's an experience, I finally wrote.

So!!! And you kept it all a secret, and we suffer that. saw li could not tell before. Just kidding ... but seriously, thank you so much! Especially for the nozzle idea! I tried to freeze white icing, but there is no color one yet, so I'll take a note. Thanks again!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, you came up with very cool nozzles, otherwise it’s like a bunch of cornetics or bags, and sometimes you really need quite a bit of colored icing! very good idea
I also freeze icing, for a long time already, everything always turns out well

Girls, I'm so glad the ideas come in handy! And I didn't keep it a secret, just my head is like a sieve, I forget.)))

[harmful78]

harmful78, did you dilute the paints? I painted it once without diluting the paints, they also dried for about two days, and then I tried to dilute with vodka and everything turned out well and did not dry for a long time, try it!

Girls, I'm so glad the ideas come in handy! And I didn't keep it a secret, just my head is like a sieve, I forget.)))

Tanya, I was joking

[pua_26]

pua_26, diluted, but very little. An intense red color is needed there, I was afraid if the reconnaissance would turn completely pale. Next time I'll try to dilute it harder

[Liza]

Liza, my paints also dry much longer than icing, I dilute with vodka. And the more paint in vodka, the longer it dries. Then it is imprinted on the bag, for this I do not like to paint a lot. Especially if there is a snow-white fill around. You look, it seems that it’s already dry, but put it in a bag, and it is imprinted on the bag, then the gingerbread moved and this speck from the bag was printed onto the white filling field, the gingerbread came out like a dirty one.

mine for my birthday, I twisted the roses myself, I don’t know how they will gnaw these roses, dried up to a wooden state, otherwise I could not decorate them

Well girls, ready for my next color? Now I'm throwing

Added Sunday 12 Jun 2016 10:15 AM

The first is Winx. I have long wanted to make them, but there was no time for it. There were no people who wanted to do it, and there was no desire to do such a difficult job just for example. And then we found it, although it was only 2 days to complete, but I mobilized. Tired of them - just horror. They are all so different ... I didn't take very much, but now I know exactly at what price to expose. And I also know that I will never do them in full growth! Well, or for a lot of money. So that if they really do not refuse, so that it is not a pity The diameter of each gingerbread is 9 cm
