We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

it does not depend on the dye, always in its raw form the color should be a little paler than the desired one, and you also need to let the colored icing stand for at least 30-40 minutes, during which time the dye will manifest itself to a greater extent and the dry color will no longer be so much different.

[Elena]

ElenaIn addition to what the girls suggested, I also add a couple of drops of yellow dye. The color turns out a little warmer, more beautiful. Well, keep yourself in hand when you achieve a beautiful red color)))

[elena88]

I just stumbled upon a master class on the Internet and decided to try it, it turned out to be not so difficult)

Master class in the studio !!!

elena88, It's magical, honestly! I can imagine how much trouble it was with them! But the result is worth it! Bravo!

Yeah, you know, like in a joke: well, Sarah, is your daughter already married? - No, not yet: everyone is looking, trying, but no one takes it. So it is with me: the work did not even reach the final

I still order two pieces of molds in Krasnodar. I like Pts. and also send everywhere. prices are slightly lower than those of Lyubimova)

Where is it in Krasnodar? May I have addresses and appearances? And then I have a Klondike at my side, and I'm not in one eye ...

Girls, and I also have this garbage: I mix Spence icing, as usual. I leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then I mix it again, and during this time it became thinner. And it spreads. I start adding powder, the icing becomes denser and less elastic. In general, a hassle. I don't understand what the catch is. I always take eggs from one producer. And powder too. I'll experiment now. Either chickens lay defective eggs, or the manufacturer messed up with powder? By the way, I did a test for starch in powder. Not confirmed. I continue to experiment. So tired of this swing! As you take the next batch, you start to shake, which will happen again. At least go to the ready-made mixture!

So tired of this swing!

Len, I don't have any swing, you will believe, if there is only one powder from Sakhara, then no swing, everything is clear. BUT I only work on dry protein, and this protein is always from the same manufacturer too.

So now I accidentally made my last gingerbread cookies with Raspak powder, I spat so much, there I need to sift and the density is different for icing, but it's still unusual, but not critical.
And yes, I beat with a mixer until almost sure peaks. Everything works out well.

So it is with me: the work did not even make it to the final

I really liked your work, then Olegry7 and Nastya Kasatkina. But I got the impression that in order to get to the top, you had to upload your work very first, then that's it, it gets lost in the tape and there is not enough patience to look through and watch. At the stage of voting in the general feed, I did not even find your work, although I leafed through it for a long time, and then the bodies were discharged and my eyes stuck together. The IG does not have adequate tracking and ordering tools for such competitions; it is not intended for this. Don't worry about this! You really have one of the best jobs.

[Vei]

Vei, Liz, we don't have Sahara LLC powder. There is the notorious Raspak. Far from being a fountain, but I’m more or less used to it. And we also have aro company, which was not bad until recently. More expensive than Raspack. But this week I bought more and I don't know now why this is a disgrace: either powder, or eggs. Probably have to switch to albumin. He's dear, damn it!
And I'm not even worried about the competition, I just shrugged my shoulders.

[elena88]

elena88, well, no, don’t give it a try like Sarah)) I would, to be honest, squeeze this to give.It happens to me, when the work is especially successful and you yourself like it, then it's a pity to part with it. As for the master class with roses, I will not throw the link, it does not work from the phone. On the Internet, type in the search line "wet rose on a gingerbread" and it almost pops up there first. Only there the heart is painted.

[elena88]

elena88, Lena, they are on Instagram and in contact) type my_cookie_cutter

As you take another batch, you start to shake

I have no time to "shake", but also a swing. They bring powder to us here, you can do icing on it, but there is starch there. And I think a lot. Because the decorations from the bare gingerbread then fall off. But the fill holds well and no sowing is necessary. So I use it for filling. And if you need to draw patterns on gingerbread, some kind of circles, then I make a little of ordinary powder, sift and go. And recently I poured several gingerbread cakes with this icing with ordinary powder - I was tortured. I could not pick up the density, it flows, then it stands

Added Wednesday, 30 Nov 2016 03:34

I also liked making such plates on the cakes.

The plates are neat, but I don't have enough frames for them. I would add a few small roses in the corner. I made a bunch of red and pink ones in advance, dried them, now they are in a jar. It is necessary - I took it out, planted it on thick icing, a few leaves and beauty is ready. The whole thing, of course, is a matter of taste, but at least I added a frame.

And another question, girls, did anyone try to make airbrush stencils on their own? otherwise I rummaged through the Internet, could not find anything. I suppose that you can stick the paper with the desired pattern with adhesive tape and cut it out with a thin knife. Has anyone tried it? I think it will quickly deteriorate

[Salmina_78]

Salmina_78,
then it's better from a corner folder, it is denser and will last longer.

[Nina]

Nina, I read that they burn a drawing with a soldering iron, put glass. I didn't try it myself, although I had an idea.
LizaThank you, I wanted roses, but I never made them, there was no ready-made icing at that moment, so I didn't. I was afraid to make a frame, I was afraid to spoil it, there was no stock, and I am still a skilled worker - even icing is poured badly yet.

[Anna26]

Anna26, ElenaSthanks girls. I went to look.

Added Wednesday 30 Nov 2016 02:44 PM

Vei, Liza, tell me, what is Nastya Kasatkina's Instagram nickname? By the way, I was rooting for Olegra7. Maybe for Kasatkina too, it's just clearer by the nickname. I looked at the winners today ... I guess I don’t understand something in this life.

Girls, I have a complete frustration: girl_cray: ashamed. It finally dawned on me that my icing is not at all icing, I decided to do it according to Spence. I watched the video with the correct consistency, read a lot. She weighed everything on a kitchen scale, began to beat with a mixer. 5 minutes, 10, and the squirrels just turned white and that's it! I whipped it for an hour! Hour! I tried to achieve these very peaks. In the end, it turned out, do not understand that, there is no elasticity there, but it thickened and as if the powder appeared in grains. Stands under a damp towel. Well, I think, then I'll try to make a glaze from yolk with condensed milk, as Lera Sahara wrote. And I found Belarusian condensed milk, delicious) Stirred with yolk and dye, covered in one layer, put it in the oven for 10 minutes. took out, and they are slightly bubbled and translucent, covered with another layer, again in the oven. And they all went out into such a little bubble! Like a pumice stone red in appearance I couldn't stop experimenting) I decided to make a drawing on top of this pumice through a stencil with this "icing", and the stencil does not fit snugly, the surface is not perfectly flat, well, a complete daub was drawn. Either the day is so bad, or the hands are not from there

Please tell me, is there a permit required for baking gingerbread? Has anyone come across this? what certificate can? or honey. a book?

[Hope Ging]

Hope Ging, now Lisa Vei, will come and tell everything by icing. In my opinion, the joint is in proteins. From the lacquer of the condensed milk yolk, I can say that the oven was very hot, which is why it bubbled.

Added Wednesday 30 Nov 2016 6:00 PM

Valensia, yeah, most often you need a "honey book"

Girls who decide to do the knitting effect on a gingerbread, then do not do it on a bare gingerbread, only with nazalite of the same color. My socks and mittens are full of holes. loosely knitted.

[elena88]

elena88and who can demand it?

[Valensia]

Valensia, what a book, Lena was pinned - you wrote - not a medical book, but a honey book.))

decided to do according to Spence. I watched the video with the correct consistency, read a lot. Weighed everything on a kitchen scale

give in detail how much and what you took

now Lisa Vei, will come and tell everything by icing

to be honest, I'm in a stupor, because there NEVER was something like Nadezhda writes, and there is hardly a jamb in the proteins, most likely I messed up something with the proportions ... although this needs to be dealt with, sometimes what is called "not Beckham's day "and that's it, nothing happens, kill yourself. But with icing, I still did not have this.

[Vei]

Vei, I tell. I think it's bad, therefore, based on a base protein of 90 per 455 grams. They counted the powders for me and made a proportion, where x is the required amount of powder. Yesterday's squirrels from the refrigerator, well, that is, yesterday I separated them in the evening, for example, I'm doing it today. I tried to strain them through a strainer, they did not want Powder through a strainer. I have 2 mixer nozzles, I tried both: hooks and such, like a tulip.

But I put the oven on the lowest temperature, the last mark is 160, further without divisions, it seems to me a hundred and a half the minimum. So it doesn't suit me to grease with yolk?

[Tanya]

Tanya, different people have different requirements. Here they took gingerbread from me in bulk, but in the spring they refused because I have no certificates. I asked, and who has them?

I still haven't figured out where you can get such a certificate and what is needed for this. because there is no sanitary station in our bunker. and what volumes are needed to bother with all this.

[Natkamor]

Natkamor, I understood that for this not only certificates are needed, but also a million of all sorts of pieces of paper, permits and a separately equipped room, and not a gingerbread oven for sale in my kitchen. Therefore, no one documents anything. ))

[Natkamor]

Natkamor, if you bother with such docks, then you need to legitimize the dough recipe, premises, IP and a bunch of everything. It's not worth it if you are not going to open a whole workshop.

Well, but in general, has anyone come across such in their practice that they got to the sanitary and epidemiological station or what other bodies?

Added Thursday, 01 Dec 2016 11:53

Forgive me for asking you such a question, but he worries me most of all

Girls, I look at your masterpieces - it takes your breath away, so I tried to decorate, though not gingerbread, but cookies so far, I made them in the kindergarten

[Galya13]

Galya13, a bullfinch would have a brighter breast, but in general, good cookies, only a closer look would be better seen. On the website, the quality of the photo deteriorates greatly And we are not allowed to bring anything edible to the garden. Even if the child comes from home with a gingerbread, they put it in the locker and give it away when the parents take it from the garden.

Girls, hello, I understand if the question is not in the subject, but if anything - send it to the right address, they ask me to sell gingerbread dough, does that happen to you? What is the pricing policy?

Hello everyone! So it worked, I did not go to the forum for a week! She did all sorts of things, but the plane was the most unusual for me. Size about 11x17

[marikosha]

marikosha, beautiful! And what did the clouds do?

[Liza]

Liza, For the upper edge of the cloud I made a stencil so that the outline was clear, and from it I poked it down with a sponge with white paint)

[marikosha]

marikosha, cool!!!!
I'm trying to make dolls, I have to paint a face, but I'm afraid

honey cake, Lena, it’s not a peephole for me, but I didn’t have enough legs))
And I have gingerbread - snowflakes. Size from 6 to 10 cm, decoration - flexible icing on pectin, my first attempts at this technique.

Mom Tanya, I never painted my face today, once at all)

Added on Friday 02 Dec 2016 11:09 AM

Mona1, I really like the combination of color and performance in your gingerbread

[Elena]

Elena, Lena, I love the combination of cherry and white. True, mainly when the cherry is painted white.
Mom Tanya, Here we have a recipe on the forum.
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=219678.0
True, rugs are needed for him with the necessary patterns, and they are expensive. So far I have got hold of one - with snowflakes.
By the way, in addition to this recipe, there are other recipes for such lace, on gelatin, for example.
I haven’t yet got the laces right, I dried them in the oven or I didn’t put everything exactly according to the ingredients, and my pectin is not suitable, not any one is needed. In general, fragile laces came out, not elastic laces, out of 17 snowflakes of the rug only 9 can be removed from the rug, and even then, often a piece breaks off here and there. On the leftmost gingerbread in the bottom row, you can see that the lace is full of holes.))) So we have to adapt and learn, that year I bought a rug and then I tried, but finally nothing came of it, and this year it’s already nothing, but fragile, until it came out right.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanuscha, and you sushi lace not in the oven, but just on the table. Do it in the evening, and in the morning you can take it off perfectly and you won't dry it out like that :)

[honey cake]

honey cake, Lena, usually the eyes are outlined with icing and filled separately with white, and on it they paint with a brush with food dyes diluted in water, vodka or alcohol, the iris and the pupil (leaving a piece of white - like a glare) But this is if the gingerbread is not small, which is impossible to thoroughly do so. You can do it like this, as I did in my time on Alice.

Added on Friday 02 Dec 2016 11:45 am

Kinglet, Vika, I already thought about it, but I will not be on the table, but on the battery, it is very hot, everything will dry up in an hour and without bubbles. I am so yesterday Tanyusha nestr, the author of the recipe advised.

I just painted with food paint diluted in vodka, a brush. But I made myself a stencil so that my hand would not flinch

Girls how smart you are (y) make such beauty ... super, well done

[Tanya]

Tanya, Thank you

How much time must pass so that I, too, could create such beauty

[marikosha]

marikosha, Marina, cool airplane!

Mona1, Tanya, what a beauty

TiLDA, NataliyaMatryoshka dolls are just lovely

[Mari_M]

Girls, but tell me who's in the subject. I bought a bunch of different silicone stamps on Ali, in principle, the technique of working with them is clear. But these sponges, with which paint is applied, where to get them? I watched those on the video - as in boxes, for each color - its own. But on Ali I only found stamps and acrylic blocks, but I can't find sponges. Or whatever else is possible, maybe we have a suitable replacement at the place. And how to pour paint into them and what paints to use - like for an airbrush, which are not gel? And then - to wash the sponge every time or not ... I don't have an acrylic block, but I have a thick plexiglass round - 1 cm, smooth, transparent. I read it on the internet - acrylic and plexiglass are the same thing, some microelements are added to acrylic. So I hope the die sticks to my block. In short, some questions. Temko and links on our forum on this Temko I did not find.

And for several nights I drew gingerbread cookies for a sports school. The requirements were that the theme was New Year's, that there was a gymnast and certainly with a ribbon. Well, and so that everyone is the same. And then last time I made them gymnasts with different attributes, in different poses, in different colors. Four kinds. Parents just had a blow! They were in a stupor, how to distribute them between the children ?! For some reason, they were not inspired by my advice, so that the children take out of the box whoever they can get. Therefore, this time I drew 60 pieces of the same gingerbread. For me it is, of course, tin. In general, this is what happened.

Damn, how the deterioration of the photo quality on the site freezes me !!!

girls, I've been playing with waffle pictures for two days, for the first time in my practice I'm spinning a waffle, but I'm afraid !!!!!!!!! I don't know what to glue it on,

[fantaziya]

fantaziya, Lena, and on Wednesday afternoon I made a gingerbread with a waffle picture for the first time, laid it on the dried icing, smeared with decorgel, covered it with gel again. The gel is sticking for 3 days. What did you do wrong?

Mari_M, Mahfuza, well, when will we wait for your gingerbread?

oh I don't know, I still haven't started gingerbread

[elena88]

elena88, the gymnast is super! and in the New Year's theme is excellent, and clear and neat! How do you translate the drawing, or is there a projector?

oh I don't know, I still haven't started gingerbread

I also tried it, the decor gel, nothing came of it, it didn't work on the yolk too, it still undermines it with a thin layer of icing or gingerbread filled with icing, he thought he would press the wafer with his weight, so the waffle blew up the already dried icing, the first time such nonsense, it may depend on the quality of the waffle ?
I also tried it with invert syrup, and nothing, on a thin layer of icing and press down, also turns out after drying,
I don’t dry gingerbread with waffles in the oven, I think that the problems are in the quality of the picture
