We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

Virgin, why are you suffering with these knives, you need to cut it out with a scalpel.

received a plastic knife for mastic, he tears the mastic, well, and the dough even more so. Now we need to order a small metal

faithful, you got this, as I showed? why is he vomiting? maybe your dough height is greater than the diameter of the cutting wheel?

Girls, and who else conducted a children's MK?

I have spent more than one micron with children. it's very easy with them. I do not give the task to repeat exactly for me. I show you how to hold the bag, how to draw a line, put dots, etc., and then they themselves. I do not limit their imagination. sometimes you can see the whole picture on the blank of the heart, and not the shape of the heart. children perceive any form of gingerbread as a palette, not a figurine.
at the beginning, I made cornetics from food cellophane / resembles packaging for flowers /. but this is not convenient for children. started making in a pastry bag. at the same time, it is easier for children to work with large than with small. put icing in the bag, twist it and either tie it or fix it with a rubber band / there are colored ones for money /. It is easier to correct with an elastic band when icing is consumed. but, lately, I have been less confused without, just tying in a knot.
wrote a lot) is confused, but I hope it will help determine

Girls, as to the topic of this question, I was once asked to make Mk for 6-year-olds, let's say with almost no profit)) but as an experience it is interesting, so I think, what can a 6-year-old be able to master? probably a Christmas tree and a snowflake and a gingerbread man I will offer? there at least you can decorate with beads))) what do you think?)

And here are mine for my birthday

Christmas tree and snowflake and gingerbread man

and snowman

[Natkamor]

Natkamor, if not a secret, how do you consider your salary? It is necessary to return for the food and also earn money. How many people did you have at once?

Added on Friday 21 Oct 2016 11:36 PM

I received a plastic one, two more nozzles go to it

How many people did you have at once?

6-10 people. I make different blanks. the price depends on the size, taking into account icing and + my work. estimate for yourself how much you would take for this gingerbread if you just made an outline drawing or a simple fill. that's how I calculate the price for the blank. children of all different ages. there are also 3 -5 years. it is more interesting for them to pour the whole gingerbread in different colors / noticed that younger people like very black))) /. sometimes adults join in.

if this is for a group of children of the same age, then you can come up with a thematic one.

Girls, I'm probably not a topic, send me then where to go Questions to those who make to order: they ask you honey. a book? And another question about packaging: cardboard boxes, paper shavings, ribbons - all this, of course, is very beautiful, but is it not intended for food purposes? The other day I showed my relatives that I also want to learn how to make such beauty. And they told me right away: "What are you, who just didn’t touch this cardboard in stores", "it’s better in food containers, ugly, but hygienic." So far, I see only bags with a sticky edge as packaging, and I don't know how food they are. In boxes, in my opinion, it looks more solid. And with ribbons, the gingerbread cookies are very beautiful. I have not done anything yet, but I have already picked up so many objections

And with ribbons, the gingerbread cookies are very beautiful. I have not done anything yet, but I have already picked up so many objections

oh, I have already been asked this, too, but in my opinion, this is nonsense, especially when they talk about ribbons, well, we touch food with a bunch of objects a day, we take it after we took other objects and it's okay .. but here. But there are really such principled people, for whom this is essential: exit 2: work only with bags, or if with boxes, then pack the gingerbread into a bag, and then into a box. You can also find shavings intended for food products (I haven't found one in Minsk yet), but it will probably be more expensive (..... for now, I'm saving myself by putting the gingerbread not directly on the shavings, but on such small beautiful napkins, i.e. i.e. the first layer of shavings, then napkins, then gingerbread,
I don't know if what I described is useful, I hope experienced girls will correct me a little)))

oh girls, I was bothering about food shavings. Don't forget what country we live in and how our business is built here. For a long time, I asked people associated with the paper industry, everyone says one thing - everywhere the shavings are the same, only someone more cunning calls it food and raises the price for it. In other cases, no one promises anything, but everyone does everything the same.
And about hygiene .. I here repeatedly fell out in the sediment when I got that in professional confectionery stores, that right at the production of boxes and substrates for cakes - all in one big and dusty heap! (((
I just spray all my laminated substrates and boxes with vodka from a spray bottle and wipe them with a napkin. Gingerbread is usually first in a bag, then in a box.
Let's just say, for my part and for my conscience, I try to comply with all the sanitary standards I know. The fact that before me some of the components were in conditions that did not meet the standards, I cannot change. I repeat, it’s the same everywhere. But it is necessary to ensure maximum sanitary and hygienic safety within the framework of common sense, of course.

Girls, I just thought, but cupcakes and cakes are also in the same boxes .. and nothing ... they are not packed into anything else .. how can you be? Or are the boxes different for them? as far as I know, no .. exactly the same ... yes there are no shavings, but the boxes are the same unhygienic))))))))

[Romashka_a]

Romashka_a, well, cupcakes are in capsules. And the cakes do not touch the box, only the substrate

Girls! To us if only to make claims. Everyone knows what's going on in the shops! For the market in general I am silent, there is also dust. And people go and buy. All the cookies by weight are in boxes in the open, at least in our country, and no one claims that the Prussians are crawling there. Repeatedly in the internet posted such photos. And the Prussians are. I almost brought it home. We have a grocery store near work and I asked for a couple of cake boxes and brought them to work first. And she was horrified when she saw that a small squid got out of the box. I had to break the boxes, shake them well before carrying home. I know that all this is bad, well, my clients will not pay for packaging. Today I counted 15 hryvnias for a thick substrate. In response, I heard that it was necessary to warn and they would bring me a tray. As I packed gingerbread in cellophane, I will pack it. I don't want to bother

Girls, tell me, help, please! I saw Eddie Spence's book yesterday ... and now I can't sleep ..I don't know what to do, it costs 80 dollars with us and is only available in 1 store, which is better to buy this book or buy an online master class from someone? It’s a pity that we don’t conduct master classes online, I would love to contact you ... do you think
I saw that the rate of Marta Torres costs 160 USD. That is, the book is cheaper, but will there be any real sense from it? can I learn everything from her ??
Please, help!!!

[Romashka_a]

Romashka_a, I understand that icing is used there for decorating cakes? There are different openwork patterns ... or is there about all the consistencies of icing and working with them? I ought to see this book live ...

Tatyana,
This is a book, the art of decorating with royal icing, as usual I can not insert a link, but I understand that everything should be there, but not a fact, that's why they advise here)))

[Hope Ging]

Hope Ging, alla, and those who ask, it is not easier to send directly to the store for gingerbread, and there is less headache.

girls please see if this set is worth buying or not?

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, I looked, the set is good, but there are 1 pieces of different numbers, will it be enough for you? In work, 00 and 000 are usually used most often for me, there are most of them, respectively ...

[Tatiana_Borshcheva]

Tatiana_Borshcheva, Tatyana, I don't know, I'm just starting to learn, so to speak. Well, I will probably order 1 set and see it live. And after that I will decide whether to order more, of course with your help
And how many nozzles 00 and 000 do you need in general?

This is a book, the art of decorating with royal icing, as usual I can not insert a link, but I understand that everything should be there, but not a fact, that's why they advise here)))

This is the ICING BIBLE! I have had this book for 3 years already, but also an English edition and in English. About two years ago this book was published in Russian, but they say that the translation there is not very correct. In my opinion, this is the best book that could be written on the topic of icing. Everything is there, and at the same time it is very detailed and popularly painted.

[Mari_M]

Mari_MWhen I started making gingerbread, I counted by colors - how many colors I need to use at the same time, I took as many nozzles. Estimate approximately how many flowers you will use on one gingerbread, and order as much

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, Mahfuza, I would buy a set of all for a start, although one at a time, you do not need to take several of the same number at once. Because we have different icing, because the powder is different, someone sows through organza, someone does not, starch in the powder is different in different ways. Iceing recipes are different, and not only according to Spence. Take one nozzle at a time, try which one will be more in demand in your work, then order as much as you need.

[Tatiana_Borshcheva]

Tatiana_Borshcheva, Mona1, Thank you! By the way, to me on you

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, I looked at the set .. on Ali ... I doubt about the small ones, where the opening is rounded, and not straight ...
I suffer with such a thing .. icing is wound on it ... I have to wipe it all the time ...

Mari_M, I looked at the set .. on Ali ... I doubt about the small ones, where the opening is rounded, and not straight ...
I suffer with this ... icing is wound on it ... I have to wipe it all the time ...

So I had my doubts, so I inserted a link here so that more experienced craftswomen would give me advice. Buy or not.

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, but I don't trust Chinese baits. Some kind of clumsy will come, and that's it, money down the drain. This is not a consumable, such as bags, but a tool for permanent use. And the girls were right to say that not all of the set is suitable for work.
Simple math: a set costs 350, if only two nozzles from it are used, then the cost of each will turn out to be 170-180 rubles, since the rest will be dead weight. It's not easier to buy in your city. Now I specifically asked in a search engine, for example, Signor Antonio Petty's store is in Voronezh. There the cost of the nozzle is 181 rubles. Again, I looked at our Novosibirsk stores, the cheapest 000 costs 81r. Perhaps you also have such shops.

[Taranolka]

Taranolka, Olga, Thank you! I will look at us, maybe I will find

[Mari_M]

Mari_M, I am inexperienced, but I read the thread in the second circle from the first page and remembered that experienced ones did not advise taking nozzles from Ali, they wrote, money down the drain. I myself looked at this set, I was embarrassed by one review that water barely seeps through small nozzles, and one nozzle has no hole at all. And these are just the most necessary ones. At the same time, the seller did not offer compensation, but wrote: "everyone likes it, you just don’t like it, a bad buyer." I think taking one or two cheap tips for a test will not work, it will not be so sorry.

[Hope Ging]

Hope Ging, I also read this review, and there were doubts. But now I certainly won't take this set, definitely

Girls, if you do not plan to make flowers from icing or use curly attachments for borders and scrolls, but simply paint and pour gingerbread cookies, then you can do without attachments altogether. I rarely use them myself now. Either I just cut the desired hole, or I make cornets from cellophane flower film or baking paper.

And I lost my mind - everyone has NG on their noses, and I have Easter. ... Well, it just so happened. Sizes 9 * 8 cm and 10.5 * 8 cm.

The first time I tried it in Hungarian. There were six pieces - one - finally, the ugliness came out, removed. Of the rest, I don't like everything either. Icing should probably be made a little thinner. Of all of these, I liked the blue flowers the most, because they look like those in nature, but the red ones are very ornamental, well, not mine, really. So, I tried it, but I don't really care for Hungarian anymore. But the type of blue and some other natural flowers in this technology will try further.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, the gingerbread turned out to be very beautiful.

[Romashka_a]

Romashka_a, Alla, I wanted to write to you in a personal ... so writes that the box is full ((
Countrywoman!)) Where did you manage to buy the delay?)
I take norms in Pastila ...
I ordered dry dyes of good quality in confiseur from Ukraine .. not expensive at all ...

I wrote to you in a personal))))) hello !!!!!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, order or just? I believe it worked out! I liked the very top left one. Did you draw or outline with icing right away?

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, very beautiful !! And with cornflowers, it's just lovely! ..
You say exactly, it's livelier, warmer, or what!?)) We've gone crazy here for a long time))) otherwise there wouldn't be beauty!))

[Vera]

Vera, just wanted to try this technique. I thought about how to outline the drawing, put the screen on, sat, thought, and then decided that I was not doing it to order, so if I spoiled it, well, okay, but I didn't want to get attached to the screen, especially since this is a novelty for me - something then it looks like a piping, patterns are also squeezed out within some supposed contours without applying. And it was difficult to look closely at the contours through the screen - the pictures were poor in quality after the printer, nothing is really visible. Well, I thought so: well, what if I have been thinking all my life, I can't draw, but I’m still somewhere deep in my soul an artist, that’s like we need to pull it out on the sly, at least on such tests of the pen.
pssaha, Tatyana, went crazy - not the right word. I'm flying around my apartment right now - it's Monday and everyone has gone to work. I am alone and like a bird in the sky, running breakfast and making dough rather. I want to try a brand new recipe for a change.

[Tatyana]

I ordered good quality dry dyes from confiseur from Ukraine ..

Tatyana, I've been looking at them for a long time and Romashka_a, referring to them gave, and you can give a more detailed review about them. Is it possible to paint icing with them (well, what would be two or three in one)?
Mona1, well, you're an energizer. Everything is beautiful! and if every day and more than a dozen are not worse than the Hungarian craftswomen.

[mamo4ka]

mamo4ka, Larissa, you can paint with them, of course .. there are a lot of colors) Only I feel sorry for)) for painting I have both gel and simple dry ...

I want to try a brand new recipe for a change.

prick, Tatyan, what a recipe))
ps The gingerbread turned out to be wonderful, do not do a thinner icing and more boldly pull the drawing closer to each other, do not leave such gaps between the petals and the base. You don't have a filling icing, so it won't merge.

[Vei]

Vei, Liza, yes from the book that you lost, they recently uploaded a screenshot of the recipe. And I found the same in the internet, but not quite the same, somewhere the tsyfirki turned over. Well, and repeat from A to Z did not work, There are a lot of innuendos. Flour ... - and what? Wheat, if, then what grade, or is there rye? Or a mixture. For soda, it is also written in the screen 18 g per 500 g of flour, and in the ANIKO blog that I dug out - 18 g per 1000 g of flour. But even if you halve it, then 9g is sooo much. I put 1 tsp. under the knife for 510-530g of flour. For the sake of interest, I went and weighed this teaspoon under the knife on a jewelry (accurate to 0.01 g) scales. It turned out 3.7g. I once put a little more, spat so much, the soda was very direct. Then: written in the blog: oil (if you translate the page into Russian). And in the original it is written in Latin letters: MARGARIN. Well, how to understand? In general, I decided not to experiment anymore.
By the way, rugs with Ali came today, on which the sole should be flat. Until I tried it, there are no orders for the next week. And also hemispheres came to me for toys, but at the bottom there is an edging along the edge, maybe nothing good will come of it, and another set of cuttings Peony (4 cuttings) came, interesting ones, I liked it.

Tanya, is the rug different from the previous one?

[Vera]

Vera, yes, not the same as ours. It is interesting to bake, but so far there are no orders, and there are no other jobs. So I'll try it a little later, I'll write to you in a personal immediately.

Girls, I have a question, maybe someone knows, or maybe the video met somewhere, I really need to make gingerbread cookies with the effect of knitted things ...
I don't know how to explain it correctly, they usually make socks, mittens, blouses, everything looks as if the loops are visible.
It just doesn't look like ticks at all ... my head just ached, I can't find anything like it ...
I saw such knitted gingerbread at O. Tsypanova, but there is no MK video for them

received a plastic knife for mastic, he tears mastic, well, and the dough even more so. Now we need to order a small metal

ledi, I found the smallest pizza knife with a wheel diameter of 4 cm, I couldn't find any less, I didn't find any knives for mastic at all))) So I ordered this one.

Girls in the pharmacy - medical equipment has a lot of interesting tools for

Mona1, it turned out beautifully. But it can be more natural
Once upon a time I had a tablecloth embroidered with a Hungarian pattern of this type

There is a tight thread in a thread

[Kinglet]

Kinglet, Vika, thank you, good video, but he is with mastic, and I can't make friends with her (((
I will hide under the spoiler "knitted gingerbread" not mine, this is the work of O. Tsypanova.
