We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Natkamor]

and my goats came out

everything hastily, but for myself / for trial /. icing was pretty cool. I realized this when I started to dilute with water for filling. and I kept wondering why my nozzle was clogged. spat and curved lines))
and this is from spies) I don't remember who

Such cool))) I generally like all the goats and lambs on gingerbread, such a cute topic

Natkamor, Good goats! Loved the idea of ​​striped horns

[tuskarora]

How many beautiful things you have done!
ledi, the goats are so cartoonish! Very cute.

Matanya, this is an exhibition! very neat gingerbread!

Well, I also do a little bit and will show.

I listened to smart people (that is, you) and added a white fill. It turned out prettier.


I learned to draw a deer.

The deer does not seem to know the word "sport" and loves to eat.

Small things:


This I tried to make a three-dimensional picture. I haven't attached it to the stand yet. Let it dry well until tomorrow. I liked this technology very much.

This "deer" will go for a sheep's head
And I still don’t understand why your Christmas trees have two legs?
In general, everything is so positive, cozy, pleasant - babble!
And the cookies became, indeed, more elegant.

My Christmas tree is from Teskom's "Christmas Nativity Scene" set. There the figures are placed vertically on stands, which are baked separately. The figures have two legs, and there are two grooves in the stand. Very comfortably.

tuskarora, Lena, in, the box has just changed! And she was beautiful, but she became so elegant!
Deer funny oooo Put at least a dot there, representing the eye))
I liked your volumetric picture, I also love these. But on the snowman, the fill is thick, it lays down in bumps
I will also give advice, if you will, on a little thing (on a small white house) I noticed that in some places on the contour you have, as it were, droplets, that is, most likely there your line was interrupted and you started it over from this place. When it happens to me, I immediately smear these droplets with a needle along the line, so it looks neater then. Or when my line is crooked, I also correct it with a needle

tuskarora, Lena, now the box is simply incomparable! She immediately began to play, it catches the eye, it is correct that she listened, I hope you can see the difference yourself. And by the way, now the hand has become noticeably more confident, so practice does its job
The deer is charming, just make his legs longer. I myself look at this deer, as I saw the video, but something is not yet up to the deer))
I also really liked the volumetric picture, and in general, do not give up this business, you are good at it !!!
Natasha has already told you the rest, so I have nothing special to add.

Girls, thanks for your help and tips. I'm so, an amateur, I play for myself. Time now is still on sick leave.

And on occasion it turns out ....... I can reproduce an already existing picture. But it’s impossible to come up with it myself ... I’m not creative in my nature ...

About the deer. Why is he so fat. According to the technology, the torso is squeezed out of the thick nozzle, and I was too lazy to shove the filling into the bag and decided to put a spoon on the sample, well, I blurted out a whole bunch ... Next time I will not be lazy.

tuskarora, with fill is much better! I would say more could have been. And the three-dimensional picture is cool !! The only thing, a lot of details on a small gingerbread, everything is very crowded!
In general, a lot of beauty can be done this way !!

This is at first so, when I also started, I copied the gingerbread from the ones I liked on the internet, and now, having reviewed a bunch of gingerbread and redone a bunch, I no longer look at the pictures when I do it, but just sit down, look at the gingerbread and understand what I want with this to do just that with a specific carrot

Hopefully, this understanding will come to me too.

of course it will come! The main thing is not to quit this business

Same problem too

tuskarora, Lena! Of course, the box looks different now. And if only to cover the dough with colored glaze, it was a super casket. Well, I don't like light gingerbread products. On dark and the pattern is better visible.

[Veronica]

girls, I think I'm starting to be friends with urry icing!
I can still count it for sure. this is the third attempt at drawing on gingerbread, I am already starting to think about the consistency of icing)))) and now, slowly at night, I will still train my hand

I hope that I will lose my account)))))) I liked this lesson, carried away

I do not know how to reduce the picture, if not load through the radical

Veronica, so insert through our gallery.
Here's how to do it.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=129295.0

Veronica, about!!!! Well how!

diveroni, Veronica, I can't even believe that you are just starting to decorate the gingerbread cookies! Especially the top one!

girls, thank you all!

ledi, and the goat after the transformation is a beauty :-)!

[Irina Dolars]

Girls, and I, together with the cookies, are trying to master Food photography, while the specialists on the forum are smashing to smithereens.
I will show you what I don’t dare to show them!

interesting composition

And I will not be silent here either Leo is not told meat

White on white is lost
And I would throw two cookies on the sled
There is also a little free field on the left and above for balance of the photo

Irina Dolars, pancake!!! Well, do not hide, but !!!!
I myself can see that I am lost, Irin! But the sled is what sled!

The sledge is incomparable!

Larik, the sled is incomparable!
Put some kind of toy on them, straight sideways, hanging the legs, and gingerbread in its arms (legs).
by the way, this particular gingerbread will look absolutely gorgeous on a Christmas tree branch as a Christmas tree toy, for example, in the following composition:

Olga VB, Olya, and you found me !!! And I think I'm quiet here!
Okay, tomorrow I'll try to find someone to put on a sled! thanks, girls!

great photo! And sledging! Where are they from?

[ledi]

She brought her sheep, which were clumsy and not decorated.
size 10cm
Here are some more boots!
And mittens!
Scary! I completely forgot how to draw a net, my hands are shaking

ledi, Vera, you have such joyful, festive, classy gingerbread cookies! I liked everything! But the mesh is still large on the mittens, it should be much smaller, and by the way, the small flaws are almost invisible. My hand is trembling on the mesh and my eyes are piled up from it, so I always try to make a minimal section with the mesh, otherwise it is very laborious

[lesunya]

Hi, I'm with a report

lesunya, Lesya, you have very neat beautiful gingerbread cookies! It can be seen that she was on the courses!

[lesunya]

and further

lesunya, Lesya, good gingerbread! ... And from what test? Even so !!!!!!!!

Thank you, the dough from Dasha Rokitskaya (she had it at MK in Kiev), I can share the recipe

Of course, please share!

lesunya, Lesya, you have very neat beautiful gingerbread cookies! It can be seen that she was on the courses!

[Husky]

So my gingerbreads arrived. This year I mainly made gingerbread. I made them double with a layer of jam.
I used three recipes.
Christmas gingerbread from Freken Bock

Old Polish gingerbread from Levitan

Lenkor Gingerbread Cookies

If the gingerbread is smeared with jam, then all three types become soft and remain so to this day.

Large gingerbread cookies 20 cm in diameter are baked according to Ot Freken bok recipe. The weight of one gingerbread is from 300-350 g



I made the drawing on the gingerbread using a stencil



Christmas trees baked from old Polish gingerbread dough and gingerbread cookies from lenkor
On average, a herringbone weighs 150-200g



Small cookies are baked according to all three recipes.

Huska, Luda, what a gingerbread fall you have! I liked the big gingerbread. Great souvenirs.

Husky, Lyudochka, how much work and inspiration have been invested! Liked everything especially great! Did you make small boxes yourself? And the stencils purchased?

Girls, thanks !!
This year, you can say I have been sacking. I got off with stencils.
I bought all the New Year stencils in a hobby store for Leonardo's art. There are sooo many of them.
Vera, she collected all the boxes throughout the year. And already for them I selected the sizes of the gingerbread molds.

Lyudochka, so many awesome gingerbread! I liked it very much with a sprig of spruce !!!

Husky, Luda, how much work have you done! I really liked everything, beauty! I also bought stencils in Leonardo, but I haven’t used any of them yet, I sit by hand to work, I even forgot about these stencils, I must at least get a look at them

Husky, Well wow big gingerbread! Looks great from stencils. Is it difficult to work with him for icing? I can't even figure it out right away

[Tatyana]

And I will show my gingerbread cookies, there are no orders for the cakes, so they were sitting with my granddaughter. Dough from Gerda.

Tatyana, pretty, but so want to take a closer look!
Take an example from Luda: she made a separate portrait for each gingerbread

tania T, Tanya, what bright and pretty gingerbread you have, lovely! And I saw your houses in the neighboring Temko, they are not sad, but very beautiful!

[Nansy]

Girls, and I decided to continue the lace series, since the last time everyone liked the lace gingerbread so I took the motives from the embroidery patterns. Here's what I got:




Well, of course there are other gingerbread cookies, I also did such drawings for the first time:

The colors are terribly distorted here, the blue gingerbread in the center is actually purple, the real color is closer to this photo:


Well, I'll just show these, I have already had similar ones:

Nansy,
and I bastard from yours, too, how filigree the work is, but this year my customers want something smaller, easier and more fun, nothing highly artistic (they also feel sorry for money). By the way, I wanted to ask, what is the size of the gingerbread?

Nansy, Natasha, well, very beautiful!

and what is the size of the gingerbread?

Everything except bells, about 10 cm, bells a little more, about 12

Nansy, Natasha, your gingerbread cookies are so perfect! I am delighted and I cannot even find words from delight !!! Every time I am surprised and not overjoyed that the talent in a person, sooner or later, will show itself! Without courses, without art schools, you create such amazing works of art, and they are done how neatly and filigree !!!
I will applaud you and
super super super super !!!!!

Natasha, lace is lovely! Each gingerbread should be considered for a long time. Well this is how much patience and perseverance is needed !!
And I torment ... both myself and the gingerbread ((((
12 pieces for half a night! Also in two colors only. There are no small attachments, how inconvenient it is with the cut off tip of the bag ((

Light, 12 pieces at midnight - that's a lot! Moreover, without attachments! So don't give up, you will succeed!
Girls, thank you for your kind words, I was so moved, thank you very much!

[Marfa don]

and I'll bake a little here.
these are all Christmas toys


[URL = https: //Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/r-image/r.1/fp/37178c9fe7d1409db032cdc73694bedf]
and these are my beloved, not because it is not enough to decorate, but because they are so cute

Marfa don, Alenka, I saw your gingerbread in OK, I also really liked your snowmen and sheep, they are so cute! And in general, all the gingerbread cookies are cool!

Marfa don, Alain. , really liked the hearts !! So interestingly done !!

[Larissa u]

Girls, and yesterday I made a present for Christmas and gathered my aunts to paint the gingerbread (I prepared everything in advance, they just did it. How happy they were !!!! Do not convey !! I'm thinking about doing this business for ordinary housewives.

And here is their work (in my opinion, it's just brilliant for the first!)

Larissa uwow, you already teach! Well done! And your students did great!

Nansy, Natasha !! It's just a Christmas get-together !! What courses are there! I myself want to take courses!

Larissa u, Larissa, with your gingerbread get-togethers according to what recipe? )) so light) even looks like shortbread dough)

Girls, each and every one - beautiful gingerbread !!!

VictoriaCam, vanilla cookies

[Larissa u]

I, however, also do not sit around!
I look forward to the New Year and enjoy the process of painting!

So stylish, beauty!

And I also have snowflakes, so tiny

Larissa u, Larissa! Your gingerbread cookies and your aunts are wonderful! Clever girls! There is also a question for you, do you draw a contour along the edge or do you immediately fill it? You have such a perfect edge! And I was worn out with mine, because the gingerbreads were clumsy and convex. But it's already over. Now I will bake according to Lisa's recipe. If only they turned out smooth

Larissa u, Larissa, such a rich black color. What dyes do you use?

ledi, I draw a contour along the edge
aelita1702, Wilton actually, but here - activated carbon

[How to make a lace pattern on a gingerbread]

How to make a lace pattern on a gingerbread
Girls, by popular demand, post large pictures of lace gingerbread one by one and describe how I did it.
In general, I did this: first, with a food felt-tip pen, I drew a drawing directly on the gingerbread, then I drew a drawing with an icing for the outline. Then I immediately drew a cobweb and immediately after each dash I corrected the joints with a needle so that there were no droplets. Then she filled in the necessary parts of the picture. After drying, I painted the veins on the flower leaves. On the white gingerbread, I stopped at this, and on the blue ones, then again I went over the top with a contour over the drawing, I liked the result more.
Here are the white ones:





But the blue ones:




I will also show separately lilac gingerbread cookies with painting over the filling:






Well, to the heap, today I was packing in baskets:


The baskets are then wrapped in plastic with a bow

Nansy, Natasha, very chic gingerbread, you can't get your eyes off! Thank you for uploading the photos and describing in detail! Natasha, do you draw both the contour and the cobweb with one nozzle? I have Korean Ateko nozzles and there is no one number. Can't order anywhere. Namely, this nozzle is not enough for me.

Natasha, do you draw both the contour and the cobweb with one nozzle?

Vera, thank you !!! I draw with a nozzle, on which is written 000 and an outline, and a spider web, whose production I do not know, I have mixed Chinese and Wilton's

Girls, what a beauty! You are just sorceresses!

[Miloviza]

000 looks like PME


see what beauty I met on the Internet

And the question arose. And how is mastic molded on a cookie? moisten or what?

Miloviza, Elena, look at this one MK

Miloviza, Elena, I glued on icing, holds very well

Thank you!

Miloviza, I have 000 Ateco. Cool little idea with buttons))) I bought some mastic, I don’t know why. Now, I’ll make a button. I'll make the seamstresses-girlfriends four-thread))

[ledi]

trying to embroider! Once I loved this thing on the fabric!

I left you all! So much beauty! How I love dark gingerbread! Larissa!

ledi, chocolate !! Moreover, very much! I don’t know how icing tastes, but I don’t care. Let someone try to eat it !!

And I really wanted to gobble up the decorated gingerbread ... I'll go look in the chest for the ugliest one and eat it)))

you can't eat such beauty !!!!!!!!!!!!! My husband walks around and asks constantly: is there any substandard accident? He is always in flight.
They usually buy gingerbread from me for children, relatives, friends for a gift before the holidays. And then once a regular customer chose the most beautiful for herself and said: now I will eat it myself with a tea, otherwise I give everything. I somehow felt uncomfortable, hurt or something. So much work put into it, and it will be devoured! But then she calmed down, she was not so someone. May the person be pleased with my carrot. Here's how.

and yesterday a woman called me and said: "can I try your gingerbread first, and then order?"
I refused to order her because I don't have time already, but try it? well, why not))) substandard ...beautiful, but too small snowflakes. She came today, and I think that just in front of me she doesn't start trying, you never know, she suddenly won't like it. I give my gingerbread cookies to my relatives, friends, neighbors ... Because I don’t like sweets myself, so I don’t understand it’s tasty or not ?!

Victoria, lucky neighbors

Irina Dolars, Ira, we were lucky with our neighbors)))
Here, on the previous question, what to glue the mastic on. I was just watching the video)

What a cool round house, it just caught fire to make, only I don't have such a tall shape for Easter cakes! maybe in an enameled saucepan is it possible?

Tan, and if you take a liter enameled mug

[the glaze does not dry out, apparently the glaze was very liquid]

Tell me please, the glaze does not dry out, apparently the glaze was very liquid is it possible to dry them somehow with improvised means? Thank you

I'm not special, but try to put under the lamp.

I dried some in the oven on convection mode for several hours. I have one with a slight increase in temperature, it is (automatically, not regulated; in fact, 40 degrees there), just drying.

thanks, I'll try today! but it’s a pity, it turned out so beautiful ...

you can use a hair dryer neatly, I saw this in some video, although I did not try it myself))

[Tane Matanya]

Well .... brought it !!!
It turned out that she was decorating gingerbread exactly the day - in the evening the day before yesterday I sat down and finished it last night, this is given that it was a weekend, the family was all assembled and no one canceled lunches and dinners (((I really liked the process, but poor my head ...
I made the attachments from a tight folder, thanks Tane Matanya for the hint. Liza, and all the recommendations for decorating for you !!!!! Natasha for a bunch of ideas!

fomca, Light, what a beauty! So neat, so beautiful! And she was afraid, afraid! And what beauty she brought!

Sveta! Professionally neat, beautiful! I liked the felt boots very much. I probably saw this on OK. But there is a small photo and I could not understand how the heel was taken. And yours is clear and understandable. How nice it is to look at quality products in high-quality photographs. And what kind of dough?

fomca, cool gingerbread !!! Such tenderness

fomca, well, from your gingerbreads I have been coming to myself for several days - the first and so cool! That's what it means - golden hands, so no matter what to do - mastic, cream, gingerbread, icing - everything works out for you and works! You are our clever girl !!!

fomca, Sveta! I lost your gingerbreads! (I didn't praise them right away) How neat they are! They are just perfect! They are beautifully bright! I can't find words

Oh, girls, I’ve started something completely. You are all such great fellows, you have decorated so much. Now I will take a closer look at everything.

In the meantime, here's what I have saved and still in the process.










Three-dimensional picture. Adventure. I filled the upper rim and put it to dry. After 15 minutes, look - and half of the filling is smeared! Sonulya came into the kitchen for a sandwich and a sleeve walked over the detail. I corrected it as I could, but the trace is still visible.


You have already seen this picture, but now it is in a fixed version.


This is the lid for a new box

and I finally haven't baked yet

Helen, how many different and beautiful gingerbreads !!! I especially liked the volumetric pictures, and what diameter are they?

Mashun, and even a whole week. You will have time.
Tanya, thank you. Diameter about 15 cm. Squeezed out with two bowls - bigger and smaller.

Flax, and how thick is the dough to roll out ... I have never baked ...

Mashun, I roll 3-4 mm. It will rise slightly during baking. Lenkor dough (gingerbread cookie) I really like. Lies for a long time keeping freshness. My husband stuck one cookie that year (he has fads for collecting figurines and toy soldiers). And the small one climbed into the sideboard in October and threw off this figure. It's broken. By the time we arrived, the little one grabbed her by half. I finished the second part - and so, the dough is not a biscuit. The taste, of course, became not so hot in a year (well, as if slightly dusty).But the main thing was done without consequences.

[Larissa]

And I am meditating ...

Super Meditation !!!

Larissa,

Irina Dolars, Irin, thank you for your creative approach !! I'm afraid the specialists would have bombed us for such photographic work!
And I nraaaaaa ..... especially, the second option, I generally ooooochen love black.
Irin, how did you cut it out with Photoshop? exactly so!

Aha: oops: We won't show them

You are all assiduous. I will only imagine this painstaking work - it already scares)

🔗

[Larissa u]

And this is me again !!! In my opinion, she's stuck in this business!

Larissa u, masterpiece!

Creamy, Thank you!!!!!

Larissa, is it a brooch or a gingerbread? Beauty!

Irina Dolarsthank you Irin

Larissa,: swoon: I'm shocked! : yahoo: How beautiful! I have said more than once that all this beauty plays directly against a dark background. On a light gingerbread, this would not work.
Actually, I was going to sleep, I just fell asleep with my gingerbread, And now the whole dream has passed. Consider how I once again!

very gentle and very beautiful! filigree!

Larissa, icing roses?)))

OneMoreFruit, no, mastic

[nusya]

girls, who made gingerbread with waffle pictures? how to stack the picture correctly?

: swoon: Another such photo and I will shoot myself

SchuMakher, Similarly !!! I have a persistent inferiority complex !!! Well, you can't do so GORGEOUS!

Chuchundrus, we plowed tady shoots ... Well, that's why some hands grow from the same place where the braid in the picture comes from, and some are okay so-so ... they do it ...

Can we bite them? They who are bitten will not be able to create: secret: But tutucha and we are so dexterous and skillful at once

No, we'll go and take a bite of all their pretty gingerbread

Girls !! What are you !! I'm just getting started, I'm a beginner !!!

blatant lie !!!!

Probably envy: girl_haha: The gingerbreads are super! How long does it take for one?

In! And she is so good and funny !!! Mash, a familiar zubnyuk, will be needed, and a practologist too. And the identity after our sabotage we need. Treat your teeth well and ... Paste it.

we will bring up Baba Yaga in our team

Are we jealous of something? You admire! Yes, Chuchundrus? Ver, I’m not going to praise your gingerbreads for that, although they’re beautiful!

: oops: We will not praise you! Patamushta is in a swoon from beauty. And I can't breathe with admiration

ledi, and I do not look at the clock ..... Enjoy! Tomorrow I'll spot, I'll let you know!

Larissa u, such gingerbread cookies !!! Here is a man's fantasy

[Husky]

Girls, what great gingerbread you have! So much beauty in one place!
Thank you so much for sharing secrets and showing your work, you can admire such magical pastries for hours.
I'm a beginner and just starting to create something, while it's a shame to show, but I hope, thanks to your forum, I will succeed))) Thank you again! Every evening before going to bed I drop in here. and there is always something to see. You are fairies!

Husky, I really like your work! So neat and refined! How do you manage to work with stencils so accurately?
Do you fix it somehow? Filling with liquid icing or using a brush?

[Sahara]

Sahara, Welcome to Temka and the forum! Why is it a shame to show? on the contrary, show it, and the girls will tell you if something is wrong.
And I didn’t work very well with the stencil. It is necessary that the gingerbread was even, and I have a convex one. I'll show you now

And also bears! The husband said that these are better

And here are my yesterday's! The customer asked for a minimum of dye. But ... I didn't succeed.How can you make Christmas toys not bright: girl_pardon: I made one and didn't want to take a picture.

ledi, it turned out very cool! Yes, and all your gingerbread cookies are very cute, colorful, festive!

And I got stuck on red-white-green, the Hungarians have not only the colors of Christmas, but also the colors of the national flag)))
I read that the gingerbread cookies were with a flat surface - you need to walk over them with a pastry iron while they are still lukewarm.

ledi, Ver, I liked the blue ones !! I also prefer less paint, well, not always possible, unfortunately !!

ledi, but I really liked the snowmen! but in general I like everything

ledi, Vera, your gingerbread cookies cause delight and joy! Very beautiful, positive and made perfectly with a plus !!!

Girls, thanks, but the quality is lame! Everyone wants to please who asks. I already refuse to many. I sell them cheap. I multiply the products by 4. How do you rate your gingerbread? And I decorate in the evenings, but I'm still working. I can't do much. I sit almost every day until two in the morning.

ledi, the snowmen are cool and I really like the blue gingerbread !!! This color is beautiful and painted great!

[How to use a stencil for icing a gingerbread]

How to use a stencil for icing a gingerbread
Sahara, for big gingerbread she attached the stencil with tape to the rug on which the gingerbread lay.
But my big gingerbread cookies were not a bump and therefore the stencil fit snugly.
For the stencil, the icing was taken closer to the main icing than the icing for the fill.
I apply it with a small spatula, which is called a spatula of a palette knife. Like this, but only the scapula itself is straight.



I think it is impossible to apply icing with a brush.

Husky, thanks a lot for the clarification! Awesome - in my life I would not have guessed to fasten it with tape to the rug.
I tried to gingerbread with needles - complete garbage turned out.
If you can ask another question - after applying a layer of icing, do we remove the stencil after it has completely dried? and do you need to apply a thick layer?

I remove the stencil immediately. Be very careful not to move the stencil. I detached one edge, hold the stencil in the middle with my left hand so that it does not move, and with my right hand gently lift the stencil up.
Icing is applied in a thin layer.

Husky, Thank you so much ! I'll try to experiment on a small gingerbread.

[Sahara]

Well, that kind of happened ... My first New Year's gingerbread, made in the form of a collage, size 30 by 35, baked according to an old Hungarian recipe, the gingerbread is soft, but dense and strong enough, a favorite recipe, because after kneading, you can immediately bake, gingerbread does not harden, even if not put in an airtight container, decorated with icing from fresh protein.

I'm looking forward to criticism and tips.



paradise apples for decorating the tree, decorated with golden sugar, the leaf and the handle were painted with a brush with gold paint.


My lamb with a rice coat



The goat was decorated with sprinkles: a snowflake and 1 mm gold balls.

Sahara, very good gingerbread! I really liked the goat))) Can you share the recipe?)

Sahara, gingerbread cookies are very beautiful and unusual and kind! I was intrigued by the old recipe, I really want to know it)))
And welcome to our gingerbread company, bring your own gingerbread more often!

Sahara, no experience! ; -D She was shy! I really liked the collage and the sheep with the goat! Super!

Sahara, I really liked your Goat - such a cutie and very original. I haven't seen this one yet! For the exclusive I gave you a plus sign

Girls thank you very much for the kind words, I feel like a first-grader who was bombarded with praises for the first scribbles, and I want to try even more, hoping for new rewards)))
Vei, Lizochka, I will gladly share the recipe, I will only write in the evening, now - it does not work out with time.
I would also like to express my deep gratitude to you for so kindly sharing your experience and showing your work, admiring the floral painting on your hearts, seriously thinking about art courses.

Girls, what a beauty you have! Do not take your eyes off!

[Larissa u]

And again chocolate ...

Larissa u, your Gingerbread (just like that with a capital letter !!!) amaze my imagination. According to the simplified version - without icing and thin lines, and then I was tortured, to be honest, I spent the whole day. But there are 24 of them, and here you probably need to spend the whole day on one such gingerbread !!! Delighted, amazed and my applause

[NataST]

Girls, well, finally I can come to this topic not just to read, but with a report !!!
I have been reading this topic since last year, but I myself have matured only in this. I was inspired by Liza's recipe for gingerbread, and since it turned out to be baked, I need to decorate it. Yesterday I was preparing a "congratulatory round dance of sheep" for my husband's colleagues all day. He even helped build hairstyles, today the proud will tell everyone that he himself made gingerbread
These are our sheep turned out - 24 pieces, varnish Hungarian glaze and mastic on the hair


And these are Christmas trees - the glaze is perfectly covered with kandurin

NataSTwhat kind of sheep

NataST, the lambs are so cool! I liked it very much, I didn't even think that without icing, only with varnish such beauty is obtained, with your permission, I will take note of it. The goat is my design work, to be honest, I mostly take ideas from coloring books for kids, the simpler the better, because I paint without markings.

NataST, mordachi is something !!

NataSTSuch sheep are cool, positive. Yes, Natasha, without your husband you definitely would not have coped

[NataST]

NataST, Larissa u, ledi, Sahara, it's just a holiday! Unearthly beauty! BABIES!

[SchuMakher]

On your background, the complete is not right, but I liked the process



Gingerbread in the style of "primitivism"

SchuMakher, Beckoning! well, look! waited for your beauty! I will not lie, it is clear that I was not a pro drawing, BUT (!!!) that is why they are good !!!
how you have got festive, joyful and lively gingerbread cookies, with a soul! Immediately they catch on with their kind of sincerity, I want to look at them, smile and remember something very bright and good, most likely from childhood!
You are my smart girl! straight to you at once a tremendous five with a plus put !!!!
PS I hope the children helped mom?

Lizun, pasiba !!! I am so pleased ..... Children in kindergarten schools, bake them during the holidays and will paint, icing remains ..... To be honest, I really like this style ... I take every little clay thing in this style from everywhere! This is not sloppiness

Man, the main thing is that the process itself is pleasant, then the result begins to be liked by everyone else! I really liked your gingerbread, soulful)))))

SchuMakher, Masha !! This is not "primitivism", but modernism !! And most importantly - it is pleasureeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!

Thank you all !!!

[Iced bells]

Girls, look! Iced bells I really enjoyed this video! The author of Tunde Dugantsi is a Hungarian living in the USA and already a well-known gingerbread craft.

Vei, Liz, thanks !! Class, interesting!

[Olga VB]

Well alleeeee ... They infected me with their sheep ...

Larissa, on the spot! Especially pink - so tender, touching and your photos are getting better and better in composition

Olga VB, Ol, thanks !! I can't fix the shadow, it's already dark with us !! Tomorrow!

Larissa, want, wantuuuu !!!!
Such sweethearts! You can see that with the soul! And brown fill - icing or mastic?

fomca, Light, thank you very much !! All icing.

Larissa, sheep are a miracle. Very graceful and at the same time mischievous!

[Vei]

felt boots 40 pieces



plus 20 more snowflakes



drew for 4 hours, and packed for almost 3 more hours

Vei, in 4 hours - 60

Vei, Liza! You are a great hard worker and smart girl! I like everything! And write the size of the gingerbread! They finally came to me for cutting for cookies with Ali. Damn, little ones !!!! Although I looked at everything, and thought it was normal. My templates, by which I made the first gingerbread cookies, are much more!
And further! I could not find such bags for packaging here. Where do you get them?

Vei, shoes and snowflakes - the height of grace, and most importantly, accuracy !!! Real snowfall of shoes.

Vei,:) Yes, you are just a bee!))) Valenochki are good, but one little white for someone special?

Larissa u, Vei, SchuMakher, girls, you can't keep up with you! You amaze with the beauty and quantity!

ledi, 68 pieces left for painting .... still at home a bowl

[when the color was poured it was good, and the next day when the gingerbread dried on everyone, these spots turned out]

Hello girls! Please tell me what could be wrong with my icing, when the color was poured it was good, and the next day when the gingerbread dried on everyone, these spots turned out... Aising did this: mixed egg white with powdered sugar + dye + a couple of drops of lemon juice + a little water

safonka I think the icing was a little watery

safonka, in order to say what is wrong, you need to know the exact recipe for icing that you used.

ledi, tuskarora, I don't have an exact recipe, I poured powder on my eye, brought it to a state that the icing stream would merge in 5-7 seconds, somewhere on the forum I read this or is it not correct?

Here on the forum there is recipe from E. Spencer. 90 gr. squirrel 455 gr. sah. powder and 5-7 drops of lim. juice. The protein with the powder does not mix, but is whipped at low speed until soft peaks, and then lim is dripped. the juice. This is for the outline. For pouring, add cold water to a consistency when the edges of the groove merge in 10 seconds. Maybe our gurus will correct and add something else ..

what dye did you use?
from liquid icing this cannot be, I have had indecent liquid icing more than once, but the gingerbread cookies were not covered with spots.
you did EVERYTHING wrong, that's why it happened, but 5-7 second icing is even thinner than my indecent liquid icing.
Study the topic first, on the first page all the recipes are taken out, through the page I write how to do the correct icing... Read, study, and then do, and not vice versa.

Vei, Thanks, I will read more, I used dry dyes in 100 gram jars, I bought from Lyulek

dry dyes are not suitable for icing, only pasty, liquid and gel Amerikolor. Although I also used our gel products from Top, the icing spots did not go, ours simply stain poorly, do not give an intense color, I have to add a lot of them.

But I used dry paint from UKrasa for red paint. I didn't give red gel to me - maximum pink. I decided to try dry. I diluted a dye in a teaspoon of water and introduced it into icing. As a result, you yourself see a good red color and an even fill.

safonka, and your gingerbread cookies were well dried? This happened to me with one gingerbread. It is not completely dry. He was big. the white jellied glaze also stained. All others with the same glaze turned out fine.
Although your icing was clearly liquid.

Husky, in what sense is it dried? I baked them, decorated them after 2 days, dough according to Gerda's recipe, but they were soft, maybe I just didn't bake them?
It's not about dyes, because white icing is also stained.

in my opinion - the icing has stratified, therefore it has gone spots. Have you poured it fresh or has it stood for some time? Personally, I often had punctures with red icing, especially when I stood in the refrigerator and was too lazy to whip again before work.
I did not get red for a long time, then some kind of "under-red", then burgundy. Then I realized by the trial method that you shouldn't paint over the icing in bright red color, it is enough to achieve a rich pink - when it dries, you get a beautiful red.
From Amerikolor my favorite color is Red Red, it is straightforward universal, but Super Red is too dark.

[tuskarora]

My neatness is limping along with me. Current I am on one leg, and she is on both

But nevertheless I will show what I have done:
Christmas nativity scene.

The resolution of the phone is small, so now I will show you piece by piece



Guard for the Nutcracker. Something is wrong with my white flood icing ...It seems like I'm checking it - so that if you hold a groove in it, then at 10 seconds it closes. And all the same it falls like a bump. Colored is normal, but white is a bump ...



But I'm almost happy with the box. not very neat only along the line of connection between the wall and the bottom.

your white is thick, the dye always liquefies icing, so you get it more liquid and lays down better. Count the seconds and look at your white icing at different lighting angles, most likely it is not 10 seconds long.

tuskarora, I really liked the soldiers!

my gift baskets, though still unpacked.

[Where to buy gingerbread bags?]

Who will answer me? Where to buy gingerbread bags? I didn’t find ...

Svetik, have you tried searching through the Internet? This year (since Lilya refused me) I bought it in an internet store. I think. that in Belgorod there are also such. Enter the products for the pastry chef into the search engine.

Sveta, I buy at a florist shop, I don't know if you have one. You once wrote that you found only zip bags, can you take them and cut off the sticky part?

fomca, I bought a wrapping transparent film for flowers in sheets and screwed up

fomca, Sveta, and I packed my first ones in a baking sleeve: girl_haha: Well, nothing was at hand, but I had to fulfill the order

Sveta, maybe you have such envelopes? I found in our bazaar, in the department where various packages, packaging are sold
they are on one side with adhesive tape, I cut it off and just tie the bag


they are of different sizes from a postcard to A4 format, which in my hands is the most popular 15x20 cm
if we have, then you and even more should have. The cookies in them look just gorgeous!

Girls, thanks for the info. I will look for something else. But my first attempt ended in nothing. Found only in Leonardo small bags of organza handbags with a tightening of 10 rubles. I don’t want zip packages, they look ugly, they are made of LDPE.

fomca, see the list of 13 companies:

And may you be lucky!

Irina, you snow maiden !!! Thanks, let's go!

[Elya_lug]

And here are my gingerbread. We do not look at the date, it is a glitch in the fotik, in fact, a fresh photo. Hungarian gingerbread from Lizaveta, very tasty. One special lamb was eaten by a 6-year-old son, he really liked it. I also liked the icing, tastier than just gingerbread

Elya_lug, Cool sheep! Only without a smile is better!

[Tanya]

Here are my first children this year

Tanya, you did great!

Thank you, Tomochka! Here is the site where I got the sheep from 🔗 ... There are many more interesting options for painting gingerbread.

Mona1, and did the oleshek by cutting down or by the pattern?

Masha, according to the template. With a tomato knife Tramontina. It is so long and very narrow on the tip, it easily climbed into all sorts of squiggles. But all the same, I got worn out until I cut everyone out. I needed 11 reindeer and 4 sleds in total. This is also on the template. And the lambs were on the pattern, but they are simple, there are not enough curvilinearities, they were quickly cut out.
On the one hand, the pattern is more difficult than cutting, but the pattern can be made larger or smaller. You can, for example, make a couple of large sheep and a few small ones. Like a family of sheep. )))

Mona1, Tanya! Reindeer with sleighs are incomparable! I would have sat down and drove off to the tundra!
I can't work according to the template, such tinkering annoys me very much. I even bought felling for the houses.

Mona1,

Mona1, the sleigh with deer is very beautiful! And I found the same sheep in children's coloring pages, then I saw it in the online store for which you speak.

Mona1, Nope, lambs are generally awesome! I looked again!

[Larissa u]

Girls, how much beauty you have brought, how smart they are!
Larissa u, Larissa, your hearts are simply masterpieces! Simply amazing !!! And the sheep are so cute!
ledi, Vera, how much beauty you've done, smart girl! All gingerbread cookies are good and so positive!
Sahara, Lera, the sheep and the goat just won my heart! And the baskets are gorgeous, so elegant, just super!
Vei, Liza, 60 gingerbread in 4 hours! You just killed me, this is speed! And how cool it turned out in such a time! I'd sit for 2 full days that's for sure
tuskarora, Lena, and the nativity scene, and the soldiers, and the box - I liked everything very much!
Elya_lug, Elya, such lambs are cool, cute and funny!
Mona1, Tanya, the sleigh with deer is just super! And the sheep are so cool!

[ledi]

ledi, Vera, happy birthday to you! All the best to you!

: girl_red: Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nansy]

I also brought some new gingerbread

Nansy, what a beauty! Such painstaking work! I don't even aim at this)))

Sahara, Lera, thank you! And lately, I have become boring to make simple gingerbread cookies))) So I'm sitting there, I'm sick))

Nansy, Natasha, your gingerbread cookies are amazing! I look at this colored cutwork and I understand that you have found your own style, if you like it yourself)))

Lisa, thanks !!! I like it very much, very, very straightforward)

: swoon: Natasha, no words! What a job! I liked the Richelieu very much! The colors are beautiful and the patterns !!!!!

[Sahara]

First she decorated the sheep with sugar sprinkles


then I tried puffed rice and I liked it more, I decided to make chocolate one))) - rice with cocoa



a few more gingerbread, the angels turned out to be big-eyed)))



snow globe, in theory the snowman should be waving a sign, but it turned out as if he wanted to slap himself on the head))) well, I stuck something Santa-Morozov's eyebrows for him)))



and another ball with a gnarled snowman, but I didn’t regret sugar silver crystals


fast snowflakes



Christmas balls

Sahara, super! I especially liked the angels and sheep!

SaharaLera, I liked everything, you are a great fellow and clearly artistically gifted. There are comments only on the last snowflakes and balls. They ripple too much from the abundance of contour drawing, there is no color accent to which the eye would cling. From this, the drawing is lost and loses.

Lera, I also liked the snowflakes with balls.
Especially the last balloon - such a cool sheep!

Vei, Liza, I agree with you, I will improve, I did it in a hurry, I myself want to do something like that, but people demand not quality, but quantity)))

Olga VB, Olga, thank you, I am pleased that you liked it. In fact, snowflakes and balls are sprinkled with sparkling sugar, live they are better, the drawing is not so smeared, but still Lisa was right it was necessary to make the fill at least a little - it would be more interesting.

Sahara, Lera, I know from myself that sometimes the eye gets blurry, especially when you do a lot at a time, and sometimes you see, but no longer understand what to do to fix what is missing, and what, on the contrary, is too much. I call this a crisis of the genre, it happens to me either from a long break, or from processing)))

[Sahara]

I'll show you a few more of my cartoon gingerbread cookies, apologize in advance that it's not on the New Year's theme

Sahara, Lera, cartoon gingerbread - just a dump of your head! Superrrrrr !!!

Sahara, Lera! Stunned, and cartoons so finally something beyond reality!

Nansy, Mona1, thanks, actually not as difficult as it seems, there is a special technique that. I looked on YouTube, it simplifies and improves work by an order of magnitude. If it is interesting, I will share a secret.

Vei, Liza, as always you are right precisely because of the processing. I produce 120-150 gingerbread per day, including the whole process: baking, pouring, painting, packaging ... It dazzles in my eyes ... But honestly speaking, this is not a reason to cheat.
I am very grateful that you are prompting me, I came here to study and improve my work, so I am waiting with great interest to assess my "masterpieces".

You also ask! Of course, share!

I also faint !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sahara, so you are not Lera !! You are some kind of factory !!

No, well, iron man! I just can't even imagine. I had a sister, there was a time, at work, folds were laid by hand on silk ribbons, sewn them. And so - all day. So she said: Tanya, can you imagine, I sleep and dream that I lay folds from right to left and count them. I woke up, turned over on the other side, and it was dreaming again, only now I was laying it from left to right. That's when she really got scared for herself, thought that she was starting to go crazy. But she didn't have such a stressful period for very long, then she bought a typewriter, which is a whack, and a bunch of folds.
This I mean that there are a lot of gingerbread - this is a class, just do not overwork, please, especially the New Year, all that.
And yes, share, if not difficult, your wonderful technique!

Sahara, No words! Interesting!

Sahara, please, share a secret with us, otherwise the time is running out, and I still haven't had my horse lying around. Your cartoon gingerbread is super!

Sahara, this is a ton of icing to recycle !!!) Just lovely!

Sahara, you are a hard worker))) So many gingerbreads per day
I want a secret)))

I pulled off an idea! Thank you!

Of course I wonder what the secret is !!!!!!!!!

Lera, I can't imagine 120-150 gingerbread a day and even a full cycle, and every day ??? I would have hated them already. In a week I got 160 gingerbread and 15 houses so far, it's already hard for me. there was no time at all for sleep, but here every day ??? What are your speeds? I don't seem to work slowly either, but I don't know how fast ...

I'm shocked! In just a month, I got about a hundred gingerbread cookies and 1 house, and then I'm already sick of gingerbread, but for the near future I didn’t want to, I think I’ll have time to get bored by March 8 only)) And here every day ... as a factory already! :)

Natasha, don't relax too much: girl_haha: This year, since the end of January, I've been preparing for Valentine's Day and March 8th. Yes, due to lack of time I missed February 23rd, so you can start right after the Old New Year

ledi, Ver, I make it to order, but so far there have been no orders for February and March, so I want to take a break from gingerbread. I want cakes !!!
