We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Anna26]

Anna26, lovely gingerbread! I also want to do New Year's! And I choose all the rooster!

[ledi]

ledi, thanks, Vera. And I have already pumped up a bunch of roosters, but I can’t decide which one to choose, because right now they will start ordering them in batches, as I had before Easter. And it is necessary that both be bright and performed uncomplicated and fast.

[Anna26]

Anna26, Anya, I also really liked your gingerbread cookies, especially Wait a minute. How do you translate the drawing?

[Vei]

Vei, Liza, usually I sketch myself, if something is very complex with a bunch of small details, then with a soft pencil

Mona1,

your couple

Tanya, they ordered me a couple again, the woman is alone for her Ukrainian daughter-in-law. I persuaded her, I wanted to make Cossacks for her, but she insists. And I do not like to do the same thing, I am interested in trying different things.

[ledi]

ledi, thanks, Vera. And I have already pumped up a bunch of roosters, but I can’t decide which one to choose, because right now they will start ordering them in batches, as I had before Easter. And it is necessary that both be bright and performed uncomplicated and fast.

so I am about the same, I will not choose in any way

Mari_M, I usually wind up a bunch of them, dry them, and then glue them where necessary and tint them with the right color

So all the same from mastic, did I understand correctly? And how do you tint with what color you need? Do you make a white, and then paint it? or how?

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, no, not from mastic they twist, but they make a very thick icing and twist on toothpicks or a carnation, there are small nozzles, twist the roses. There are different companies, but large ones are not suitable for cakes, you have to look for small ones. For example, I have two nozzles - with a curved hole, it is sometimes called apple blossom, and the second with a straight slit. Both have a slit length of -5 mm like. Ateko 264 (with a straight slit) and Ateko 59 and on the top right of the numbers - such a circle as degrees indicate (this is with a curved one). Spun on a toothpick, a video on how to make such roses, there are a lot on YouTube, look there
And do not forget to look at the first page of the topic, there it is directly placed in a separate section of the table of contents - links to MK are different, and there are also several flowers

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, no, I'm twisting from icing. But you can also from mastic, although I have never tried it. Yes, I make them white, tint with canandurin or a brush with gel paints.

Mona1, Yes, that's right, Tanya, as always, everything is detailed!)

[Tanya, they ordered me a couple again, the woman is alone for her Ukrainian daughter-in-law. I persuaded her, I wanted to make Cossacks for her, but she insists. And I do not like to do the same thing, I am interested in trying different things.

Anh, here, too, after the minions, they immediately ordered me again, again, but they somehow went hard with me, the first ones. And I was so upset that again. And it turned out to be so simple and quick, ready and ready. Although I also love new and interesting.

[Mona1]

Mona1, well, I thought so, but it will be possible to fix the past jambs there. And the most important thing is not to draw an onion and a radish on the table, but a slice of bacon and a ham! Because last time I slowed down and did not show the national cuisine!

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 1:34 PM

well, at least somehow diversify ...

[Tanya]

Tanya, AnnaThank you so much!

[Anna26]

Anna26, the wolf with the hare is lovely! Just do not be offended, but something is wrong with the hare's eyes. And the wolf is just perfect.I liked your asterisk very much Write what size it is

I also made some New Years. So far, nothing superovish, from a beautiful I want a card with Santa Claus. Although I understand that it will be more for the range. For such holidays, they take simple piece gingerbread. Although, maybe it's just me And I'm also suffering with a cock, which is for a budget option

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 02:43 PM

Romashka_a, at me, too, everyone laughed at first about how I translate products. Because I tried several recipes, including gerds, which turned out horrible. Don't just scare your mom ahead of time. I don't know how old she is, but she's probably at least 45. Such people have a very strong conviction that you need to work in one place all your life, and you need to hold on to official work with all your might. Even if they pay a penny or go there it is nauseous, you still need to hold on, because this is all "for the sake of a future pension." There is nothing you can do about it, it is inherent in the old way of life. So just don't be scared. Slowly gain experience and clientele, and then we'll see

but I promised to show my birds and forgot!

Gingerbread size 18x12 cm, options with and without inscription.



in the first photo the proportions are somehow distorted, the second photo is more truthful.

Vei, Lizaas in a fable: From joy admiration in the goiter breath stopped! No words, beauty!

[Vei]

Vei, they are wonderful!

[Vei]

Girls, I can't keep up with you, we've made so many beautiful gingerbreads !!!
Vei, Lisa, very beautiful firebirds, excellent !!! and you also do not draw these birds on the gingerbread first? Such a tail is gorgeous and I like the inscription, Lisa, do you write the inscription with icing right away?

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 03:45 PM

Anna26, Annushka, the hare and the wolf, well, straight from the cartoon, you did it very well. The hare mows a little, but that's why he is a hare And everyone liked the New Years, they are so cute and I really like the Christmas tree in this style

and you also do not draw these birds on the gingerbread first? Such a tail is gorgeous and I like the inscription, Lisa, do you write the inscription with icing right away?

all these birds are of the same type, so I draw immediately with icing, texts too.
But I pre-type all the texts in the necessary font on the computer, if there is a lot of it or it is complex, then I print it out on paper in real size / scale and already looking at it I immediately write with icing over the gingerbread. Perhaps that's why I mow with the inscriptions, they often float up and down with me)) but it seems untidy to me when a pencil trace or a sketch under icing is visible.

[Romashka_a]

by painting with gel paints. What else needs to be added to them

I think that nothing else is added to gel paints, except for vodka. I, too, asked one gingerbread on Instagram what she diluted with gel paints (she has a lot of painted gingerbread), she told me only for vodka, although Yrochka once wrote on our forum that she was adding some kind of transparent gel, which they are used to decorate cakes to shine, can any of the girls remember

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 4:03 PM

Romashka_a, Alla, well, progress on the face, very good, neat, delicate gingerbread! I especially liked the lavender! but the rest are also good

Romashka_a, I liked the red hearts very much, the inscription there is great!

Thank you)))
Anna, this set, like $ 28, costs on ibei, there is still one on the Amazon, it seems to me that it is more profitable than buying a sugarvale, we have 1 jar worth $ 6

Vei, bird for sore eyes,

[Anna26]

Mom dear, how to keep up with you? and already by the New Year? Girls, poke pliz, where we have about preparing gingerbread for the New Year. How to store them, I can’t find everything in the content. and what size is the best oven?
Anna26, everything is clear with you, you are one of those- * You won't catch up with us! * Everything is cool.
Romashka_a, Allochka, don't scare your mom, wait for her to say * Throw nafig your slavery, work for yourself! * You are doing great, the main thing is to have clients.
Vei,

Laris, thank you) I'm trying very, very hard!)

[Vei]

Vei, Lizonka, wonderful job! The bird is so detailed, every curl is thought out, in my opinion this is a very painstaking work. It would be very difficult for me to paint neatly, without blots. The pink twig blended in very harmoniously, and the inscription generally conquered!

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 9:59 PM

Girls, I have a suggestion, can we share pictures of cocks? I kind of found a bunch, but I practically don't like anything. I want something sooooo ... sho I don't know what

Added on Monday 17 Oct 2016 10:10 PM

I also wanted to share my discovery with you, or I don’t know what to call and how to designate my calculations.
I have already said that my husband is stamping cuttings for me, I decided to update the entire assortment of gingerbread on a stick, roughly calculating the size of the cuttings so that they are visually the same size. As a result, it turned out that with one portion of the dough I get a noticeable difference in the amount of gingerbread. My husband and I decided to calculate the area of ​​each gingerbread in order to average and correct the size of the cuttings.
As a result of our calculations, it turned out that the average area of ​​a small gingerbread, measuring 7-8 cm, is 40 square meters. cm.
So, on average, I pour about 100 gingerbreads a day, it happens that twice as much (I think many girls work with such quantities on holidays), it turns out that I pour about 4-8 square meters a day. meters! This is my kitchen area! I, as I pondered this figure, and even looked around the kitchen floor soooo square and even with a pastry bag and a nozzle of 1.5-2 mm ... Impressed!

So, here, on average, I pour about 100 gingerbreads a day, it happens that twice as much (I think many girls work with such quantities on holidays), it turns out that I pour about 4-8 square meters a day. meters! This is my kitchen area! I, as I pondered this figure, and even looked around the kitchen floor soooo square and even with a pastry bag and a nozzle of 1.5-2 mm ... Impressed!

I'm under the table)))))))))))))) Lera, my applause !!!

roughly calculating the size of felling

wondering how you did it? because they have different bends and curves) I also asked about the same question. it is very difficult to adjust the templates to make the same gingerbread cookies in different shapes. I began to focus on weight, not area. but it is still a dreary thing to adjust the templates to the same weight.

[Natkamor]

Natkamor, in Inscape (graphics), there is a function for calculating the area, there you set the contour with dimensions, and turn on the visualization of the contour with the calculation of the area. This is not my idea, my husband is so smart

Anna26! A cute snowman and an openwork Christmas tree! Have you been dealing with gingerbread for a long time?

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, this is simply unrealistic! But! May the Lord not decrease the number of your clients, but only increase, and the strength will be found.It's good when there are a lot of clients, it's bad when there are none ...

so, on average, I pour about 100 gingerbreads a day, it happens that twice as many (I think on holidays many

: bravo: Lera! Delighted !!! Is this your main occupation ?! Bravo!!!

[Anna26]

Girls, I didn’t mean my numbers))) You’ll still think that I’m bragging
I was amazed by the area of ​​the filling, each of us has already made a lot of gingerbread, there is a little bit of icing in the bag of icing, and who will count the bags?
And here calculations were needed and the result of the calculations impressed me, to put it mildly
Anna26, Anh, I don't play with such quantities every day. But God forbid, with your light hand, let me and you and all our girls add more work!: A-kiss:

NatashaFeechka, Natasha, yes, this is the main and only occupation, not counting the main work of mom))

our main job for moms will be more complicated than gingerbread!))

[Lera]

Lera, Lerochka, I join the words of Anna. let customers multiply. your golden handles of lightness. respect to my husband. I'm looking forward to your New Year's masterpieces)

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, and this is in the usual time! What happens during the holidays? Scary to think

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 04:32 AM

Vei, the birds are just adorable! They are so refined and neat. Very beautiful, really fabulous. Tell me, did you also do this last one with white icing and then tinted it? Or did you fill it with color right away?

[Sahara]

Sahara, Lera, yes, I make cakes more often than gingerbread))
Thank you very much for the recipe for the dough. I treated the guys from the pastry shop with gingerbread, they said that these were the most delicious gingerbreads of all that they were brought to. Even two fellings were presented to me

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 07:00 AM

Anna26, the wolf is incredible. Especially the expression of the muzzle is conveyed accurately

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 07:07 AM

Elizabethwhat a bluebird !! I sat looking, everything is so perfect, to the last curl. How much time, I wonder, is spent on such a masterpiece ...
Sahara, I also reviewed a bunch of pictures with roosters, or very difficult, or simply and not beautiful ... One idea formed in my head, if it works out, I will post a photo here.

On the question of roosters. Today I saw it on the tube. It seemed to me very pretty

[Vei]

Vei, super! One inscription is worth something!

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 12:36 PM

Lera, well, you amazed me with the calculations! Indeed, no one has ever thought about it! As for the roosters, a consonant, but I can't do it from the tablet. maybe threw it off in the evening. What I liked. But I didn't master it. maybe someone will master. In general, I have not chosen yet. And I also ordered waffle pictures again, you can throw slippers ... but when the emergency is festive, and you need money, I'm ready to earn it at least somehow. And people remain happy

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 12:36 PM

[harmful78]

harmful78, ahhh, I've seen this. But I do not like that he is without a body, the very beauty is not visible - the tail! We will look for the same, only with mother-of-pearl buttons)))

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 12:46 PM

ledi, I have never had a New Year's rush, I'm just afraid!

How much time, I wonder, is spent on such a masterpiece ...

planting the bird itself is not so long, it takes a long time to paint it. But this one, along with all the inscriptions, toning and drying, took about 3 hours. It's just that my very good and generous customer, who orders cakes from me, forgot to pick up the cake, she forgot about it altogether, but paid in full in advance, so I was not at a loss)) and arrived for the cake 4 hours later. And I knew that she herself recently had a DR, so I decided to give her a gift out of nothing to do. There was a time, I love this customer very much (of course, weight always does not matter for her, the design is to my taste, how not to love it ?!))) not the customer, but gold!

Tell me, did you also do this last one with white icing and then tinted it? Or did you fill it with color right away?

Liz, I first drew all the birds with white icing, and then painted them.

[Vei]

VeiOh, I love those too. And I have one, it's easy for her and it's not a pity for a present About three hours - cool, level God, take off my hat

I tried the cockerel. This is the roof of the house. Even in white is not very good, you must try to make red.

Girls, I did make a cocktail box, that's who is interested
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=419226.0

Even in white is not very good, you have to try to make red.

I like white too. Maybe just cover the gingerbread with red varnish, then the icing will look brighter? although it will be good to embroider in red too.

I also really like white, it is not pale at all. Everything in moderation, nothing more.

[Taranolka]

Taranolka, Olya, the embroidery is very cool, the cock is clearly visible, there are such embroideries that it is not clear what exactly they wanted to display there. And your embroidery is super and the lines are all even. I liked it very much.
I agree with the girls, you can try more, as options red varnish for the background or red cockerel.

Added on Tuesday 18 Oct 2016 10:06 PM

harmful78, Liza, I also saw this video, but this rooster does not look like a rooster to me, but the idea to make it from a bell is not bad. His eyes are kind of zombie ...

[Vei]

Vei, Anna26, Sahara, thanks for the feedback of the girl, I heard everyone. I'll try again with varnish. Great idea!

If anyone comes in handy, here is the embroidery diagram. I liked it for its simplicity and clarity in a small size. My gingerbread is 10 × 10.
🔗

[Taranolka]

Taranolka, Olga, 10x10 No, embroidery is not for me. You will leave all your eyes on such a small thing ... I made numbers with embroidery for a regular client, but even then only because she asked for large ones. 20 cm tall

Added on Wednesday 19 Oct 2016 09:34 AM

So we can say that this is not really embroidery - mesh. And at 10 cm, I probably would never agree

[Liza]

Liza, well, I'm also not ready to do it often, although I really like it.
The numbers turned out beautiful, such openwork.
I just can't get such leaves, so that with a depression in the middle. Yesterday I trained, it's useless ((and I made the icing even thicker than necessary, but the deepening is still delayed.

[Taranolka]

Taranolka, Olya, for the texture of the icing, besides the density, you also need to beat the icing well, in any case, I do so.

[Lera]

Lera, at high speed? I interfere with icing at first speed with a hand mixer.

Olya, I whisk in a stationary at first speed for more than 20 minutes or more, so that more airy icing turns out, this is when you need a lot.
And when you need it a little, you can do it manually at high speed. In both cases, I add a little more powder than according to the recipe.

Lera, I understand. I beat on the first and for about five minutes in total. Thanks a lot for the tip
