We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

as a picture

or as wafer paper?

[Tanya]

Tanya, I, too, will not get used to stamps. and lie. firstly, the icing surface should be perfectly flat so that the drawing is not distorted and the whole is printed. everything seems to be uniform, but the acrylic block presses evenly over the entire surface and even the millimeter difference will show itself. this is especially evident in the inscriptions. some letters seem to be thicker, while others are slightly visible. I did not take special stamp pads for the reason that they need to be completely saturated with paint. and this is not enough. with infrequent use, even in a closed box, it dries up and needs to be impregnated again. I tried a thin parolonka, but then the print is not neat. best of all came out with a roller, as it were, to roll the paint onto the die. but there is no small roller, but the large one is very inconvenient. and a roller is needed, such as for leveling wallpaper. in general, I did not work out with them

Girls, what teflon rugs do you buy on Ali? Temka leafed through, did not find a link to the store. On Ali I find black ones measuring 30 * 40. And in the video I saw some type of beige. What should it be like?

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?

No, there is no projector. I made a template from thin cardboard and outlined it with a simple pencil. And then I drew with icing

[yalexandrina]

yalexandrina, Here is a link to this under the spoiler. I recently took one, but not this store. In mine are already over.
I am very pleased, although I had to adapt a bit to my oven.

Girls, that's what happened. Now we need to master the lace

Lace (flexible icing) would certainly be much more interesting

[Tanya]

Tanya, Thank you so much! It's good that I asked first. But I would definitely not buy that, because only Blacks come across. And in Temko I saw a link, but it was already on a non-existent page.

[elena88]

Girls, how much beauty they have done again !!elena88, Lena, gymnasts are super, as always, very neat and beautiful and I like the idea very much, you covered everything: gymnastics and the upcoming holidays

Mona1, Tanya, I really like snowflakes !!! Such a beautiful color combination! I also bought a silicone lace mat for myself on Ali, but I don’t know where I’ll find pectin in Greece now: wow: I’ll probably order again from Ukraine.
Tanya, about a sponge for stamps, one of the girls wrote, you can buy a sponge for applying powder and apply a slightly diluted paint on it with a brush with a mortar for printing

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Ira, thanks! I have those snowflakes that are in the photo - they were very fragile, they did not actually bend, they were overdried in the oven, I now just dry on the heating battery for 6 hours, now they are very cool, but I also have not the pectin that is needed for lace, it it turns out that different brands are not suitable for lace. So if you order, then consider this. And if you can't buy pectin, then lace on gelatin still has something to do, but there are ready-made mixtures are sold, they finally say there are no problems, they are expensive, though they are expensive, if lace is made a lot (for cakes, for example, who is for sale) ...
And about a sponge or a sponge for printing with silicone stamps, then I found these on Ali, they are for nails, maybe they are convenient, you can remove one sponge and put the other in the holder

here I am with the cockerels Lera Sahara dough, size 14 cm

ledi, Vera, very cute and with cool muzzles, cockerels turned out, class

And I made a gingerbread with an owl for my good friend's birthday. Gingerbread size 19 * 12, Lera sahara dough
And more New Year's

I really like to work with an airbrush !!! I made other gingerbread cookies, but in principle, nothing outstanding, I don't put more photos, otherwise there are already many of them in one post

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, photos do not happen much !!!!! The owl struck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, the owl is just a bomb !!! very cool!
where can I keep up with you

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Irathe owl is just a masterpiece

Irina Fina, what an owl !!!!!

Girls, thank you all for your kind words! : a-kiss: I myself am very happy with the result

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?

Natasha, as it seems to me, you can calculate how much was spent on food and add your own labor costs. here everyone determines for himself how much effort he spent

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, fabulous owl!

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Iraaaaaaa! AAAAAAAAAAaaa what an owl! Abaldennaya! Looks straight into the soul. Well, how this can be created, I do not understand and is not given. I can be given something else, although I constantly train in something new for me. Expanding horizons, so to speak .. This is my first attempt at pen in toy balls. I tested my molds, they came with Ali a month ago. Although they were not perfect round. If you look from the front = a round toy, and if you look sideways, then you get an oval. The diameter of the gingerbread balls is 8 cm. Decorating the balls with pipets is very difficult. I hope they will not order in large quantities, but ideally I will sell those that I did and that's it.

You did it great, I really like it))

[Tanya]

Tanyawhat cool balls!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, thanks for the kind words
I really like your voluminous gingerbread cookies !!! It turned out very cool and you painted them so well, beauty! All different, smart girl !!! I myself have also acquired such forms, but when I think how much trouble with them: girl-swoon: horror, so you are a hero: girl-yes: this year I did not dare to do such a heroic act, maybe I will make hearts for Valentine. Most importantly, I wanted the volumetric molds, but as I bought, I calmed down immediately

[Mari_M]

maybe I'll make hearts for Valentine. Most importantly, I wanted the volumetric molds, but as I bought, I calmed down immediately

b] Valensia [/ b], Mari_M, Irina Fina, Thank you !
Irochka, thank you separately, for the shape-hearts, I will also update them, as I was afraid of the volumetric, but now after the balls I will try to Valentin!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, did you grease the volumetric molds with something so that the gingerbread would not stick and take off the question hot or wait until they cool down? Et, I am accumulating experience for the future

[Ira]

Ira, I smeared it with sunflower oil (I dipped my finger and rubbed it), and removed it completely cooled down, gently prying it with a wooden skewer at the junction of the mold and gingerbread. Only now, out of habit, I varnished as I usually do - when baking, a minute or two before the end of baking, and then I did it, but they were hemispheres and no matter how I looked, and at the bottom the sides were unpainted in places. I had to hide the sides strongly under a wide border. Next time I will varnish cold. The dough should still not be sticky-flowing for them, because it will float during baking and will lose its shape a little. In general, from the fact that I make gingerbread cookies, but I'm not sure that this is normal, maybe something else is needed for them. I don’t know if they will hang or fall. I thought about the ribbon, thought about how to make it so that it was more reliable, decided to tie the knots into a knot and when I put it between the halves of the ball, then the knot inside the ball so that it was not at the junction, but immediately under it. But in general, it is desirable to attach something larger there to the ends of the tape.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Very elegant and beautiful !!!

Mona1, Tanya all went well! Very nice! It is not clear how the seams were sealed. How many pieces did you make?

Added Wednesday, 07 Dec 2016, 01:27 PM

Tanya, and I fastened the ribbon inside for icing. But when she did her heart, she seemed to hold on well

[Vera]

Vera, Thank you! I inserted the ribbon inside the seam, on icing, in the same place the hemispheres were smeared with icing, and the tape was inserted between the halves and clamped with the hemispheres. And in addition, I tied the ribbon with a knot and it was just inside the ball under the glued seams, so it seemed more reliable. By the way, I weighed two of the remaining four balls. It turned out - one 100g, the second 102g. For some reason, I thought visually that it was harder. But she rolled out the dough thinner one and a half times than usual. I made four balls in total. You may have seen four more in my VK, with different drawings, but these are the same, but on the other hand. I decided to paint not in the same way, but for a photo, so that there would be like 8 options. And I will offer customers painting - embroidery on both sides, without embroidery, but with some kind of simple patterns, or embroidery on one side only, and on the other - a simple pattern. The question of price, as it were. Embroidery is more time consuming and should be appreciated more.

Girls, I have a question about gingerbread sets. In theory, all the gingerbread cookies in them should be of the same color (or at least a shade)? Or they can also be of different sizes (probably, it will not be very harmonious). I want to make small sets for kindergarten teachers (we have 3 in our group). The set contains the inscription "2017", a herringbone and a snowflake. One teacher will definitely be purple, while the other is determined. One would like a pale yellow, but I only have lemon. So I'm thinking of making a peach one. And the third, most likely fuchsia. So, to make a Christmas tree traditionally green, and a snowflake white (an inscription to each in its own color)? Somehow I don't like that. Everything will be different. But a purple tree and a snowflake? How will it look? Although it seems to me that it will be beautiful. Still, I'm inclined to make the whole set in one color. Or is it so wrong?

[Alexandra]

Alexandra, and the inscription is written on the plate will be curly or is it 4 gingerbread figures ?. If on the plate, then I would make the main desired color - fuchsia or peach or purple. Make them a snowflake (background), a sign with the inscription. And on the green Christmas tree so that there are balls of different colors and also of this basic color. So that he is present on all three gingerbread cookies. And on this background, draw a snowflake, numbers in white. On the plate, you can add a green spruce twig in the corner, so that the colors intersect and you can see that the kit is. But I would not do pale colors. A snowflake and a white inscription on a pale one will look pale and look, but it is necessary that they burn.

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, here is my blank

I'm thinking of making Nolik a Christmas wreath (of course, green. With a red bow). And all the other numbers are of the basic color with snow caps. Or is it better not to bother with a wreath? Just make all the numbers the same with the snow caps? And then there will be a green wreath in the middle - neither to the village nor to the city.

[Alexandra]

Alexandra, why not to the village or to the city. There will also be a green Christmas tree next to it. It's just that it's probably difficult to draw it carefully on a small area.

[Mona1]

Mona1, yeah, I broke my whole head, how best to do it? Just imitate a spruce branch with an asterisk nozzle? Then it will turn out oval, not round. By the way, the gift will also include a small Christmas tree made of tinsel and sweets. Tinsel green.

[Irina Fina]

Irina Fina, Mona1What beautiful gingerbreads you have !!!! I rarely come here, but now I think I'll rest and look. I don’t see the last weeks of my life because of the gingerbread .... I would like to finish everything faster ... More on the next page. I have two cakes for a week (that would not let anyone down 😫, maybe I almost don’t make cakes, and I also make gingerbread better than cakes 😅).
All calm preparation for NG !!!

[yalexandrina]

yalexandrina, why an asterisk with a nozzle? An ordinary nozzle, with which you draw thin lines, each needle. Like I had on last year's candle, only green. Only that I quickly had gingerbread cookies, it would be necessary to draw a Christmas tree with a thinner nozzle.

Added Thursday, 08 Dec 2016 08:41

Tatiana_Borshcheva, Tanya, do not take your eyes off the nutcrackers! They are burning straight! Was this such an order, perhaps? And the time is now difficult, the pre-holiday begins. And if there are also cakes, then finally. I only have gingerbread, I immediately decided for myself that for a more or less comfortable existence I had to stay in one thing. The soul asked to stay in gingerbread.)) This is such love, well, such! What a shit!

[Mona1]

Mona1, Thank you! And I am torn apart by everything I want .... and my dream is generally a chocolatier course. But I also understand that one shouldn't be sprayed, and of course, gingerbread is also in first place))) 😙 The Nutcrackers just did it, but they were immediately taken away)

Girls, how long can you store ready-made icing in the refrigerator for the maximum amount of time? I mixed something a lot this time. Dofig left. And I will need it only after 2 weeks. It's a pity to throw out so much powder. Can I freeze it? Or will it be unusable after defrosting?

[anuta-k2002]

anuta-k2002, 2-3 days maximum. Further, it already begins to exfoliate and become inoperative ... If I were you, I would bake gingerbread cookies and fill them all. and let them lie waiting for their painting ...

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tan, I thought not to draw a Christmas tree, but to make a three-dimensional wreath. Therefore, I thought as an asterisk, fluffy. Here are just icing, of course, to fig on the carrot will turn out.

[Anya]

Anya, Anya, feel free to freeze. I do that all the time. Then mix well and that's it. Only to be hermetically closed. Frost freezes moisture. The icing can, as it were, dry out, but this is fixable - I sprayed it on it with a spray bottle, stirred it and - great. Especially white freezes well, but color, usually - the filling remains. I freeze it, so it leaves in layers (the bottom is liquid, the top is dense and does not freeze straight well. But maybe because I keep jars of color on the door, there may not be such frost). Sugar seems to crystallize in it, solid grains appear, but I again puff with a spray gun, dissolve them, as it were, then I can add a little good icing. And great! But I try to keep it on the door for three weeks, no more. And in the back of the freezer, if white is not filling, then a month can stay. I somehow stuck it in and forgot about it, after a month and a half I found it was normal. If you just keep it in the refrigerator for three days or keep it in the freezer for the same time or longer, then the freezer is better, as for me, for use.

Girls, I wanted to order 3d eggs and poly robocar at the fair of masters, but this is a Russian site, who is from Ukraine and knows where this can be ordered from us ¿??

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, but it’s just impossible to store icing in the refrigerator for a long time, it will go bad, right?

Girls, I have a stupor. Yesterday I exhibited my gingerbread blank. Now I'm going to decorate. And fell into a stupor. It seemed like everything was normal in my head, but now I transferred it to paper and I don’t understand how best. Help me please.



Initially I thought to make a zero with a voluminous wreath and a bow on top. And the rest of the numbers are in one color, with snow caps and snowflakes. Now I realized that I will not make a voluminous wreath. I tried it on a plate, it didn't work. Hence the whole stupor. How to issue a zero? If I make it the same color as all the other numbers, then there will be too much decor. I also want to draw spruce branches and the same bow (here the bow will not be on top, as in the photo, of course, but on one of the branches). That is, the main color + snow cap + snowflakes + twig with a wreath is not suitable, most likely. The second option is to fill the zero with green, and after drying with the same green color, draw a Christmas tree. It seems to me that it will be more harmonious and aesthetic. But ... won't a zero be like a poplar on ivy, one among 3 numbers of a different color? Consider my confused thoughts. PySy: I'll make the leg of the seven more plump.Will go to one, and not as in the photo, end-to-end.

Alexandra, I propose to make snow caps deeper on all numbers, and at zero - almost half obliquely.
or here's an option:

[eye]

eye, Tan, it was after watching this video that I caught fire with such hats. I just decided to do it a little differently. And what color to fill in the zero?

[Alexandra]

Alexandra, I would paint all four numbers in the same style, but that's for my taste, I'm a minimalist)
I liked the option proposed above, so I decided to show it.
on the sketch, as for me, the hats are too small and unreadable.

[Tatiana_Borshcheva]

Tatiana_Borshcheva, amazingly beautiful and neat gingerbread! That's how I dare, so at least I'll bake gingerbread for my first time ...! I even started looking after the dough and go to Lenta to buy icing powder.

[Alexandra]

I thought not to draw a Christmas tree, but to make a volumetric wreath. Therefore, I thought as an asterisk, fluffy. Here are just icing, of course, to fig on the carrot will turn out.

Alexandra, a wreath is probably better made with a small leaf, like, like here

And you can make all the numbers the same color, but 2, 1 and 7 with snow caps, and a zero with a snowdrift (the same cap only on the bottom)

[Maria]

Maria, Thank you! I changed my mind with a wreath (but I also thought to do it with leaves. I thought about a Christmas tree, because the wreath is still spruce). But in the end I did everything the same. Thanks for the idea with a snowdrift for "0" too! Unfortunately, everything has already been flooded. But I will definitely try this too.

Added on Friday 09 Dec 2016 03:35 PM

I have "trouble". Yesterday I filled in 2 digits and completely forgot about the rest 2. I used all the remaining icing to fill in other gingerbread. I remembered in the evening, but did not paint the new icing, so as not to be smart at night lighting. Today I painted it a little lighter, taking into account the darkening as it dries and oh, horror, it turned out to be a wild contrast. Either the lighting let down (it's very cloudy on the street), or I don't know, but this is what happened

I really like it, but ... This is for a gift to the teacher (one of 3). 2 other sets are normal, and one is such an ombre. And now what i can do? Give as is? It will not be clear why two are alike, and one is so "special". But redo everything? Maybe somehow shade? But in any way you get a "different" set.

And yet, I want to circle the numbers along the contour. The color of the numbers. Trying to figure out what's best? Do not outline the caps at all, outline the color of numbers or outline in white? Or do everything with a white outline? But then, I think, it will be very lurid.

[yalexandrina]

yalexandrina, and I would draw snow caps on top of the main icing, first I would completely fill in the number and when it grabs well, then I would draw the caps on top. I did this on sleds that year

It can be seen there that the snow seems to be on the sleds from above, and is not an element of their drawing. And you will have snow and background on the same plane.
