We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Vei]

Thank you very much girls for sharing your best practices and ideas
Especially when you try to do something yourself - Lera Sahara's performance is simply amazing
By March 8, I decorated only 19 gingerbread cookies per night with a simple pattern (dough Vei), though without attachments, since there are no such thin ones yet, so the hands on the latter were already trembling. Also take a guess for the leaves to cut off a little more bags - no, the head refuses to work at a time of stress Therefore, as I understand it, the green leaves are so humpbacked. Maybe icing was too thick for them
In the morning I couldn't take a picture - the battery ran out, so I took off what was left after going to the kindergarten and the rehabilitation center. The whites were training, in order to understand whether, in principle, it will work out, well, the small ones have less paint

Nata333, wonderful eights and even more wonderful daisies on them. I can't draw at all and I always envy such

delicate beautiful !!! I really liked it !! and I swore to draw these patterns, well, I don't get such beautiful squiggles, I trained so much, and then once and crookedly and raaaaz and everything spoils some thread with the final touch ...

Nata333, but I do not see any flaws, all are good!

Nata333, beautiful, okay gingerbread! Looks very good!

Nata333, the eights are pretty. Aising is a bit thick, but it doesn't spoil things. Chamomiles are lovely! I can't do that. Share, plizz, how do you draw them? And I paint without attachments at all. While coping

[DaNiSa]

I tried to make such simple ones, for training

on the last one I touched it with my hand, smeared the fill, I had to stick a rose

And what about the letters, icing or is it sprinkling?

DaNiSaWhy didn't you varnish them? It would be super!

ledi, what are you talking about? did not understand .... what varnish?

DaNiSa, Alyonka, unpretentious, but pretty

Lacquer glaze, from Lisa

ledi, aa, Semyon Semyonitch didn't even think about it, I decided. that once there will be a fill, then why else cover with red glaze, do you think it's worth it? and can varnish the current edge, but the middle is not necessary?

Alyona, the fill is white. would look beautiful on a lacquer cake

[elena88]

I also somehow persuaded mine to make a conic ... Nothing, everyone survived, but for now I don't ask for more - I get by with templates.

And this is the result of joint efforts:

Christmas sleigh for nephews. True, the photo is from the phone, please do not scold

elena88, well, and you are Masters! Well done husband! And you painted some lovely horses !!!!!!!! And the sleigh ?! Well this is art !!!
What is the cutting size?

Mom Tanya, cutting size 23.5cm X 18.5cm

elena88, yes it is huge !!!!!!!!!!!

Mom Tanya, well yes. And what to waste on trifles ?!

elena88, noble sleigh! The scope is not for children))) Very beautiful!

elena88, aaaaboo! This is a sled !!! The nephews must have been wildly delighted. And the form for a volumetric egg should be ... But this is really, only a gift to do. Very labor intensive

Girls, I apologize that I cannot comment on everyone, I cannot sit at the computer for a long time ((((
Lena, but I could not walk past your sleigh with horses in silence - they are amazing, I saw such horses at Natasha Rusak's, but you have everything and the sleigh in such a magical, fabulous composition, and it is done flawlessly! no words, one delight and

Vei, Liza, to be honest, it was Natasha's horses that prompted me to start this composition, because just copying the joy is not enough.And I consider Natasha Rusak my teacher, although she does not even know about it. When I saw her work at the fair, I walked under the impression, as if knocked down. Until now, this delight from her gingerbread does not leave me. But I cannot achieve such skill, such a recognizable handwriting and style, this requires talent. By the way, with Arkhangelsk goats according to her recipe, I could not fully figure it out. This dough is not in my hand

elena88, a magical composition!

that's it yeah! Super! how neat and beautiful! Talent!

[Mona1]

Girls, we don't have such a twig: templates for gingerbread. Fellings are not always possible to find, a template to draw by itself - yes, but laziness or no time ...
I need a tulip with leaves now. I drew and thought ...

Here I have a tulip with leaves, I started to invent everything on the sly for Easter, I was looking for different figures from the Internet, what would fit under the gingerbread for the kids, this is a trial batch, at random, I did not want to spread the truth. There are still, but those finally are not so hot, in the spoiler

Mona1, Tanya, why are you hiding under the spoiler ???
I really liked all the animals! Bunny, fish, chicken finally can be cute! A special positive - from a piglet and an unknown bird, like a parrot? Straight, the mood has risen!

Mona1, Tanechka, yes they are soulful what !!!!!!! From the piggy bastard! Is it all cuttings or a pattern?

Mona1, Tanya, the idea with templates is good. I am for! The gingerbread cookies are very cute.

something I missed ... what's the idea with templates? new branch?

There are templates here
🔗

Girls, I searched for pictures of animals and enlarged them in Verde to the required size. Then I cut these templates out of paper, and then made them from packages of tetra packs from juices. Someone here advised. And I looked for pictures of different animals in Google for pictures. I typed there in a search engine: coloring pictures of animals for children. There is something to look at.

I.e? To be plump, not limp? Are the same flat ones? Draw a knife around the dough?

Well, yes, I applied the foil part to the dough, cut and cut the dough around with a pointed knife for tomatoes, then I remove the pattern, it is removed well, otherwise I somehow made it out of cardboard, so it stuck to the dough and the surface of the gingerbread did not become smooth. By the way, this is when I made it from good white cardboard, but when it was made from grayish cardboard, of poor quality, for some reason it peeled off well. Moreover, it was necessary to apply to the dough with the wrong side of the cardboard, and if the front side (from the candy like a box), then it did not stick well. In general, the cardboard is different, but you can find a normal one for templates from it, if there are no juice boxes.

Tanya-Mona, gingerbread are good, you, I would even say, have your own style in all the gingerbread.
Tanya, what do you use for icing, cornetics or attachments? You get such a smooth and thin line. And I use old plastic folders, I cut out templates from them. I grease them with oil, it does not stick to the dough.

Mona1, Wow! how many different molds I cut! Tanya, why don't you want to make colored ones? You will sell them better. Now people want it brighter

I believe that, first of all, paint is not a plus for health, but they buy it mainly for small children. Even my hands itch with Hungarian lacquer glaze with paint, as I did my boots. It looks gorgeous, but I'm worried about something. They will eat, and the languages ​​will become crimson or green. I just grease the hibiscus with an egg with broth. The garbage turns out to be the color of wet asphalt, but there is shine on the gingerbread, and thank God. I still want to make birds and chickens with raspberry varnish glaze, I will warn you that "Smoking paint is harmful to your health " ... But this is a varnish coating, but I will not paint the icing itself, it is dearer to me, in truth, snow-white. It's like a black-and-white photo, on it you can see a lot of things that color won't convey. More aristocratic black and white, or something. This is closer to me.

That always oppresses me! And the godson's tongue was painted - mom, do not cry! I felt so guilty !!!!!!!

BlackHairedGirl, Tanyush, well, what's the style. I draw with nozzles, more precisely, one nozzle, I don't even remember which number, I took it from Lily about a year and a half ago. I have one more nozzle with an even smaller hole, but I'm a lazy person, I don't sow powder through organza, but toko through a metal strainer, so in that nozzle, which is thin, it immediately clogs up after half a minute of work. We must sow. So I wield the one with a bigger hole, nothing gets hammered, although the lines are not as graceful as those of girls. They just have works of art here, fine work, which means that a lot of effort is invested in that gingerbread, and you don't want to give it up for a penny, but in our city, you know, try to sell cheap stuff too. I would like to sell, as to look for them, these clients. Yesterday I posted ads on several free bulletin boards in the city and one paid one on Krokh. I'm waiting, maybe hto will call. And so while my sister's friend ordered 15 pieces, a bucket for a ruble.
And you can draw without attachments, of course, you do it well and it comes out, good, cheerful gingerbread. I don't have a little man, when I ordered it, I thought: do we need it? Right now, I think I didn't take it in vain. By the way, about drawing through packages. It seems like I read that it is correct to cut off the tip of the bag not just along the corner, but, as it were, in a transverse perspective. I don't know if I wrote it clearly or not. It seems then the round hole comes out and smoother than the icing cords. I don't know if so, maybe the girls will correct me.

Virgo, and How much protein can be stored without powder in the refrigerator in a glass?
And then I have stayed since March 6, I thought I’ll paint some more, but I myself fell ill, and he was still there. Will it go bad?

kolobashka, urgently bake a Kiev cake from it. I would not have dared to draw.

Kiev cake? What is this?

well, what kind of talk about cakes

can be frozen

kolobashka, like this

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=68154.0

DaNiSaAlena, don't swear. This cake is a side cake from the production of icing, so to speak, to dispose of the excess)))

all the time I forget what can be frozen - whites or yolks in the end I do not freeze anything, so as not to be mistaken, I dispose of everything in a moment

Elya_lug, I understand, but sometimes it drives everyone if you don't stop

I will show my ugly past-New Years. This is the first experience. I would be glad to receive comments and advice.

[How to make a cornet for icing]

How to make a cornet for icing
By the way, I once learned to make cornets. I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube on this issue. It turns out that there are a bunch of ways. I've tried everything. And I liked only one, nothing comes out of it, the cornet itself does not disintegrate. Nice thing. I didn’t use a cornet in icing, but I did use melted chocolate on the faces of my gingerbread sheep. Liked the cornetic. Here is this method of making a cornet, maybe it will come in handy for beginners.

Girls, look what a miracle! I was stunned - gingerbread lilac

Well, how the base is made is clear. A pyramid made of circles. And the flowers -?

Tanya, I'm also trying to figure it out, while there are three options - a lily of the valley nozzle, a small leaf or a straight rose
but I really liked the idea, I still found a hyacinth

Lera, what beauty have you dug !!! And the flowers are mastic. In any case, very similar.

I thought so too

Len, do you think mastic? something looks like thick icing to me ...I won't sleep until I try to make lilac flowers ...

Sahara, Lera, go for it, then you will tell. I'm also curious, only there is no time to experiment.

Lera, lilac looks like mastic. Only it was not cut out with a plunger, but balls were made, then they were pulled into ovals and superimposed by 4 inward, this can be seen in the photo, not everywhere the same. I once made a lilac cake but used a hydrangea plunger

Yes, girls, like mastic ... eh, I'm not friends with mastic
Ale, a very beautiful cake, lilac, just real! Exactly a feat, a hundred little flowers!

Sahara, Ler, do not be upset! I was not impressed by the lilac at all, to be honest

Lera, the holidays are over, there will be a little more time and try the mastic, it's not difficult. When I started doing it, I did not even imagine how many hours it would take to cut flowers.

Larissa, I just adore lilacs, hyacinths, lilies of the valley, jasmine, garden violets, wild peas - in general, everything is sweet-smelling And since I have already hit baskets and all kinds of flower arrangements, I want to learn how to do everything.
Elya, you're right, after Easter there will be time to practice and get to know more about mastic.

Sahara, Ler, then find Nadezhda Karmantseva through a search engine, see her work. This is a cream. But why not use it in bouquets?
🔗
Or maybe try icing?

Larissa u, Lar, what a useful reference! I just started thinking ...

Larissa, thank you very much I went and looked at the beauty of the flower
It looks like she has lilacs - her favorite feature. Of course, with nozzles it will be much easier for me to make bouquets!

[elena88]

I have another force majeure drew. A friend asked me to make presentations for guests in the form of numbers 5 and 0 for her anniversary. I baked, covered with glaze, painted some of them. It remains a little to complete and pack. I come home from work (I sometimes work) And my husband reports that the small man opened the oven where all this was stored and ate a few numbers. And I have no ready-made dough, no glaze. There is so much hassle because of a few tiny numbers now! And we must give it back tomorrow. The main thing is that for the kid there were gingerbread cakes on skewers on the table! It can be seen tastier in the oven ...

elena88, Lena, you bake the missing ones according to Lerin's recipe, there it is fast and you need to bake it right away, without bedding, I highly recommend it!

Eh, prankster! If I bake to order, then I always make a couple of extra pieces. She was taught to use shortbread cookies (she made them to school on September 1) and when she was packing one she dropped and it broke. I was also very upset. Has given herself extra work

Vei, Liza, yes, I already thought myself, after mixing my own
ledi, Vera, the fact of the matter is that I have no experience to work on order. But dad grabbed the first number for not keeping an eye on the child
Elya_lug, Elya, there are already two of us. I also vote for mastic. And your lilac is just charming

elena88, Elena, thank you, lilac is a feat for my sister. How are you doing with the missing gingerbread? Nice numbers, interesting drawing made. I am sure that the guests will be delighted with the gifts.

Elya_lug, Elya, I've already baked the numbers, for dinner, I hope I'll sign it up quickly. I seem to be in time

[aelita1702]

Hello, meet the prodigal daughter
I spied here occasionally, but I didn't have the time and energy to write. I sometimes communicate with girls with whom we are friends in social networks))) In general, I am ashamed.
I tell you:
Was at the MK with Victoria Bredis. I must say right away that MK is designed for those who are already familiar with this matter, they do not show the subtleties there, unless you ask))) But we already had a mustache ourselves, so from what was useful to me, I learned only a couple of things, but not in terms of painting. But all the same, I did not regret that I went
Why was I gone for a long time, because I was all covered in gingerbread))))) In general, I am happy !!! I really like this business Holiday after holiday, you sleep for 4 hours, the gingerbreads do not have time to dry, hair on end, tongue on shoulder Not life, but a holiday
Well, I'll show you what I was doing.Who is with me in IG-have probably seen everything, in OK and I post it too with a delay)) Maybe I repeat, I don't remember what I posted))) Lord, I just looked, was the last time I bragged here in January?



Girls, where is the multiboot? Only one picture per post is it possible? Oh, well, I don’t play like that. And so I have to throw pictures from Instagram, because with a signature it is impossible. Everywhere an ambush, no democracy. Apparently not destiny

aelita1702, Vika! Well, nooooooooooooooooooo !!!!! I saw this heart, but I will not keep silent here either))))
Very elegant and delicate work! So smooth and neat gingerbread that you want to rub your cheek against it)))
Come on, don't be lazy - put it out more! So it seems that you can click several photos, have something changed in recent days?

Lera, Thank you
If it really has changed, please, girls, do not be offended, but I do not have time often to upload one photo at a time, but I want to show a lot))) Multi-upload saves time a lot))) And the rigid framework is not for me, so I finally left work then))) So I remind you of my instagram: gingerbread_vika and in OK I- 🔗 ... Wellcome
Maybe I forgot what and dull? I don't want to leave))))

aelita1702, Vika, hello !!!
Very cool work! Show more
Are you in VK? I'm not OK

Victoria, hello missing! the gingerbread is simply a masterpiece! Well done! I already ran to OK and took a look there. You are a beauty!!!!!! And gingerbread are handsome! : girl_claping: I offered you friendship!

Victoria, gingerbreads are wonderful. and so everything is neat. here on many gingerbreads the glaze is so straight over the edge / for example peppa pig /, how can this be done? I even thought at once that some were covered with mastic. glaze for filling is so super-duper, smooth, shiny. very nice

aelita1702, Vika, yellow hearts are awesome! Are roses a nozzle or a mold?

Katerina79, Katya, thanks))) I am in VK, but there I just duplicate pictures on the wall with IG 🔗 ... Somehow I can't be especially friendly with FB and VK)))
ledi, Natkamor, let's be friends

on many gingerbread cookies, the icing is so straight over the edge

I just draw a contour along the edge, and then, as it dries, I fill it in)))
elena88Thank you) I made the roses myself, using the Ateko 101 attachment. But they are still big, now I'm waiting for small attachments.
There are sweetambs on YouTube, I bought an MK from her how to make roses))) If anyone is interested, write to me in a personal, I will share. I uploaded it to myself on YouTube, but not in open access, and you can only go to the link

aelita1702, Victoria, and what is the recipe for gingerbread? Yellow hearts are so nice !!!

aelita1702, class! It's a pity I can't see the rest.
I'm lying, I became friends in vk.

Mom Tanya, Victoria Bredis' goat dough recipe. Unfortunately, I have no moral right to share)) But it looks like dough from Irina Khlebnikova

Yes Yes Yes! I see!!! For interest, I asked, since I am looking for a recipe that would completely suit me (thick and soft).

Roes are definitely not soft, so, Tanya, don't be upset!
Vika, what did you learn in the end, but not painting? Just curious, what else can you find useful in gingerbread courses?
The gingerbread is beautiful, but what is the size of the gingerbread heart with birds?

Mom Tanya, I really like the dough, I now bake according to this recipe. I asked my regular clients to compare the taste, and so, they liked the gingerbread according to the Bredis recipe more. they are very neat. You can make plump ones, roll them out thicker. I am doing 4mm. They are not hard, but not soft either))) Chewy in general)))
Just a few hours ago, this recipe was posted on Instagram by vikki_kitty who is interested, run there)))
Vei, Lisa, size without birds 10 cm somewhere. I ordered this form from Lyubimova. I found out that she makes a projector from a flower film and a projector too. About all different glaze, quality, where to get it, which dye of a particular color and from which manufacturer is better, and how to achieve color saturation by adding a different color. How to make forms))) In general, I learned not a couple of things, but a lot. And she's a very nice person.
I also learned about relationships with other masters))) Competition is everywhere)))

aelita1702, Vikulya, beauty !! maybe I can upload your photos through my gallery? you do not mind? Of course, I also don't have a multiboot now, but there is more time than you have

DaNiSa, Alain, of course, I don’t mind))) If it’s not difficult for you, then I’ll be glad. Only where will you get them from? can send to the post office or from OK? Only there they are all signed.
In general, why did they remove multiboot? I believe that the rules for posting photos on forums are outdated. Almost everywhere, unlimited Internet and words about saving traffic have already lost their relevance. Free wifi in many places. I think if I post a bunch of photos in one post, in the form of previews, it will be more economical for traffic than in each post for a full-size photo, and this will result in a bunch of pages that, when loaded, also eat up traffic very much)))) Meaning ?
Today, like a grandmother, I grumble all day))) This is because I haven't made a single gingerbread today))) The day off, before the emergency))))

aelita1702, Victoria, the red heart is awesome! the yellow ones with roses are also cool, I like the low fill. Rosettes seem to be made of mold, perfect.

[Nata333]

Chamomiles are lovely! I can't do that. Share, plizz, how do you draw them?

Thank you Forgive me for not answering for a long time, but with my kids and in a new place I don’t know on which shoulder the language looks better
I took the idea of ​​daisies from here 🔗 it turned out like this Sorry to mislead
First, I drew a contour, then I filled it through one petal with flood icing so that it simply would not fit anymore. When they dried up, it filled in the remaining petals. The best option is to squeeze out a small drop, spread it with a toothpick over the entire plane of the petal and add 1-2 more drops to the full volume, and then all the petals will turn out to be plump and separate

And I paint without attachments at all

And what and what, share, very interesting.

Nata333, thanks for the answer! I already here once wrote that for painting I use cellophane bags, similar to those in which women's tights are packed. I was advised a long time ago, I don't remember on some forum. I'm used to it. I put icing in there, tie it with a thread, and cut off a tiny corner with scissors. If the hole is too small, you can always trim more. I, of course, have an unprofessional approach. But I paint gingerbread only for myself and my family, so it suits me that way. And if you make it to order, then probably my method will not work ...

why won't it? what's the difference than, the main thing is HOW ...

[Sahara]

I will show my Easter samples Immediately I apologize for the obscene appearance of the photos, I took pictures immediately from the races in poor lighting. In principle, these are only sketches, in the future the painting is planned to be more accurate and more colorful.
With the faces of lambs and hares, as always, jambs turned out, in principle, I will not leave all the options.

Sahara, Ler, pretty, and don't need more colors !! So good!

Sahara, Lera, again variety. All good! Only the animals in the egg are not very similar to hares: the ears are too small, and the faces of either bears or dogs. Separate hares are spitting hares, a tautology))). And when I save the pictures of gingerbread in a pint, I think: "Lera would have liked these."

Sahara, Lera, wonderful gingerbread! Here are just the lambs, which were not very successful in front view. And everyone else has the right to life. I agree with Larissa, you don't need more colors. Everything is so harmonious

Sahara, Lera. ram with an orange bow is the coolest!

Sahara, Lerochka, well, as always, so wonderful, such funny ones. Well, sho, sho muzzle a bit "walked around". The ears of hares are already sprawling, you see, they already celebrated. And the lambs in the lower left corner look a bit like poodles. But who needs portrait resemblance. Everything is cool, fun, for the kids - class!

even more colorful ?! beauty, Lera! What size do you have?
and everyone liked the lambs, and the bunnies, and everything!

ooo, so bring Elya here! ideas from the Internet are needed very, very

I join. especially interesting is the size of the egg on which the chick is glued and the size of the chick

Girls, thank you all very much!
I know that some gingerbread cookies did not work out according to the idea, it is especially difficult with the muzzles, I don't want to draw with a felt-tip pen, and with icing, even with the smallest nozzle, there is nowhere to turn around - the area on small figures is too small. I always before "launching mass production"))) I make a trial version to see which ones will remain in the end, so that they turn out cool and take as little time as possible to paint.
Alyonka, Elizaveta - gingerbreads are mainly 5-6 cm each, the smallest chicken is 3 cm, the largest egg is 10 cm, the largest gingerbread is a chicken in a basket - 15 cm.

Elichka, I'll always take something from your board, but I'll drag it away! The ideas of many gingerbread are from there, just my gingerbread is a collective image of everything that I liked
DaNiSa, Alyonka, I think such a branch will be interesting, he can only name it - Ideas for using felling for different gingerbread or something like that (we don't remake the felling, but just use it for another gingerbread)

DaNiSa, Alena, there won't be enough space to drag everything. Better you come to us! ))) I save a lot on Pinterest, invite

🔗

Maybe a separate topic like "Gingerbread patterns, gingerbread molds"?

I like this option! so that everything can be found on the 1st page

Lera, Thank you. My chicken turned out to be a little larger - about 4.5 cm. So I baked them, looked at them and gave them all to my daughter. I think: what to do with such a small child? Do a lot - bake, paint, pack. And selling is unprofitable

Elizabeth, I do not sell these small chickens separately, in principle I made them for large eggs, I also wanted to make a cool hen and glue 3 chickens, but there is not enough time for variety. And the rest, which are 5 cm each, will make sets.

girls, the new temka is ready. Ideas for using cuttings for gingerbread
now there is where to stick original ideas for using cuttings for gingerbread

I, as always, with a useful video) is an interesting shorstka technique. but I would like to draw your attention to which zagatovochka the bear is drawn. I’m thinking, maybe we can create a branch where to share, how we can use the existing forms in an unusual way. well, like, like for the new year we drew goats and deer out of men.

Thank you for the video!
at the expense of an additional branch you need to think about it, a great idea

Thank you for the video

[Mona1]

My husband has Wednesday DR. He wants to take gingerbread to work. He is an engineer, an office worker, in general. I need to come up with something, straight to dump my head. And at the same time advertise yourself, maybe someone will order later. No one has any ideas (it is advisable not to paint icing and fill the gingerbread - partially so that it was, I want to cover it with Lisa's Hungarian glaze).
We have decided to arrange a multi-currency system from tomorrow. Like, everywhere you can pay in stores and pay taxes and so on in hryvnia, rubles, euros and dollars. I can make some kind of money and write: 1000 tugriks. Or something else.

Mona1, and an engineer in what field? It is necessary to narrow the scope. And if beer, kebabs ...
We already have three prices on the markets: in hryvnia, rubles and dollars.

She works at the mine in the technical department. But it is not important. Just men in the department. there are no women. Not on the topic of work, they are already tired of it. Can you make busts and butts in bikoni for fun ?.

I found such funny faces on round gingerbread. On skewers. Girls, how are gingerbread cookies made on skewers, is a skewer stuck into the dough and baked with it? And they eat gingerbread like candy, holding a stick? The gingerbread does not fall off and it is somehow scary to eat, suddenly you prick your tongue against a piece of wood.

Mona1, and DR should not be played up either? Tanya, make them sandwiches with sweet gelatinous caviar, even cookies, even a sweet roll. beer can biscuits and bikini butts. It will be great, only time is short.

Okay, I'll think about it. Then, at work, my main order suddenly arrived. So there is generally no time. And so DR will not be particularly noted. They'll drink tea with gingerbread and that's it. Many miners have died in their mine the other day. So there is no time for fun.And it’s not even good to celebrate something in a non-human way. Not even 40 days have passed.

Mona1, wow, yeah, it's scary. Then let the husband decide for himself whether he needs anything

[How to stick sticks in a gingerbread]

How to stick sticks in a gingerbread
Mona1, Tanya, I stick the skewers right after baking. I pulled the gingerbread cookies out of the oven, immediately transfer them from the sheet to the table and stick the skewers into the hot ones. The oven with them is inconvenient for me - they take up a lot of space, respectively, the parties are small and it takes a lot of time. Some sticks, however, loosen later, but for me this is not a problem. A little thick icing in the hole and that's it. And he is holding it dead - this year she barely broke the house And then, the walls broke off, but the icing seams remained

Is it all made of mastic? Or base icing?

Sahara, Leer, all mastic. I remembered pictures made of leather, I wanted something similar.

Larissa u, Larissa, very stylish and beautiful, although not my style and technique. And you are great - such a creative explosion, so many ideas, a real artist!

Larissa, just a masterpiece Painting Can you ask an immodest question: are you selling your gingerbread cookies or are you doing just for the soul?

So after this Larissa masterpiece, a thought flashed through me. Because well, such painstaking work, so much time and mental strength is needed to make one such gingerbread. Therefore, it cannot be cheap. And it's expensive - it's scary to eat it later.
And not only at Larissa's. Many have such masterpieces that my mother is dear.

Girls, dear !!
About whether I do it to order or just creativity.
Both. But! Even when to order (and to order it is not 20,30,40 pieces, but one large, or 2-3 smaller ones), then there is more creativity.
This business, of course, is not cost-effective, if you count the time spent. I have already written many times, I have my own economic calculations. (They are also the most correct) If we have a minimum wage of 8.50 € per hour, then I want at least this for my work. and less - it's better to give it simply. Or this time with my children, grandchildren, I’ll be more useful. Another thing is that each of us is in different living conditions and different countries. And if I can afford to choose working at my main job (and at the moment even at two), then for another even a dollar earnings is already a joy. And many just spend their free time, raising children in parallel. A little money, and pleasure too. Therefore, here everyone chooses.
And now I'm preparing for Cake und Back in Dortmund, so I'm trying to choose what I could show there.
I need 4 different themes, 3 identical cookies each, that is, 12 pieces, and place all this on 40x40 cm. Here I am puzzling ...

Larissa, number of storeys allowed?
Tree branches? Or a tree generally upside down, roots on top ...
a castle several floors? ...
Ladder? ...
Multilevel columns? ... Or small racks ...
Easels are commonplace.
Glass goblets? ...

Larisa, you know, as soon as I read your assignment, associations arose: 4 topics - and 4 seasons, 3 cookies - 3 months in each.
I would call this work: "The Seasons". And she did each of the 4 seasons - in its own theme.

Or you can make 12 signs of the zodiac. But I think there are more possibilities about the Seasons. December you can do something Christmas, February - Valentine's Day, April - Easter, nature or fruit-berries, butterflies-birds, inherent in each of the months to depict.

Mom Tanya, Tan, is allowed! Thinking about the stairs! Thank you!Mona1, Tan, thanks for the ideas! 3 cookies should be the same, that is, themes 4. I want to make them absolutely different in style, to show, so to speak, different design possibilities. Thank you!

Larissa, you are our artisan. You have so many great ideas and styles that you can choose any and you will be at your best!
I would choose different techniques to show the versatility of my talent)))
I especially like your vintages and "spatula" masterpieces, well, "ala leather picture" looks superb.
He can really choose the theme of the seasons and make gingerbread in different techniques, you can take, for example, seasonal big holidays - Christmas, Pa
sha ... though I don’t know what holidays you can take for the summer and autumn, although it is possible for the summer - the theme of rest, and for the fall - harvesting, for example. 40 to 40 - well, the arena is too small for your talent, Tanya is right, you definitely need to use the steps.

Larissa, I also considered the price something like this. That is, I estimate how much time it takes for a batch of gingerbread cookies, for their baking and coloring. This is approximately 10 - 12 working hours. During this time, I would like to receive 1,500 rubles. This corresponds to other calculations: during this time I make about 40 gingerbread cookies at 40 rubles. And 40 rubles is the cost of one gingerbread multiplied by 4. And I asked about the sale because of another. I thought that in Germany any activity like ours is severely punished. This is actually tax evasion, etc.

: swoon: I have no words! only emotions

[Natkamor]

girls, remember, I asked what ruffles, leaves, petals are made of, that icing is so malleable. I found it. About this icing (buttercream) 1/3 cup water (American cup!)
3 table. Meringue powder spoons
1/2 cup Shortening
4.5 cups caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (colorless)
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Mix half the caster sugar and meringue powder. Slowly adding water, beat with a mixer until everything is mixed. Turn on high and beat until stiff peaks. Then add extracts and mix well. Now add the remaining powder and shortening and beat vigorously for 2-3 minutes.
but again ingredients that cannot actually be replaced (

NatkamorNatasha, this is not icing in our understanding, this is a cream. Americans call everything that they cover the cake with icing, and our icing is only Royal icing.
Shortening is a white, tasteless, odorless American margarine. Usually, butter cream is made without any fancy - from this margarine and powder, but the recipe given here is already super, with the addition of meringue!))))

Natkamor, no wonder I doubted that it was icing, only the cream turns out so beautifully with leaves.

Elya, Elizabeth, yes, judging by the name, it is butter cream) but the girl who gave the recipe writes that it solidifies, like icing, due to the meringue powder. and what is included in it? maybe someone bought it and tell me.oil, as I understand it, can be replaced with cooking oil. what about this powder?

[Lera]

Lera, Larissa, elena and all-all-all who congratulated me in a personal. Thank you very much, very nice! I really liked your company on the forum. Mentally very and friendly

[Mona1]

Girls, and I'm finally ripe for making to order. On Saturday I gave the first order. They promised to unsubscribe on social networks or call back, if they liked it. But there is no answer yet. I'm worn out all over, maybe I didn't like it. I tried. Both the result and the softness were normal. ordered 30 gingerbread cookies, and I gave 4 more pieces from above. It's just that the customer is the mother of 4 kids and she walks right now. Ordered for the birthday of the eldest child, in the form of all sorts of little animals gingerbread. And yesterday the order came. On April 5 asked. I accepted it, but I myself think, maybe in vain, these guys don't call, maybe they didn't like it. In short, I'm depressed. Itself begs and I will not ask.

Mona1, Tanya, congratulations and welcome to us - working to order!))) At first everyone is so nervous and waiting for feedback, and then you will get used to the fact that people rarely remember that they need to unsubscribe, especially with so many children and worries like your customer! I am sure that there is really no reason to worry, so just take a breath and work on, work with pleasure and do not think what is there and how!

Mona1, Tanyusha, with the order, with the initiative !!!!! Do not worry! Of course, it is not so easy for a large family and a mom in a situation to find a moment. But once they promised, I think they will. And if there is no answer for a long time - why not ask yourself: how did your holiday go, did all the guests have enough gingerbread? There were times when I was also worried, waiting for a response ... When I asked myself, people were a little uncomfortable that they were supposedly so forgetful, but EVERYONE liked what I was worried about.

Yes! Where's the photo?

Thank you, Lizochka, I understand myself, that's how it should be.
Wanted to ask. Here in Donetsk, the choice of accessories is not very good now. I didn't find bags in duct tape (such as those made of paper for flowers) on sale, it could have been ordered via the Internet, but we don't have freight carriers here right now, everyone left us. There are plastic bags with a zip-fastener on sale, the size is necessary, but they are not for food. I think I bought them a bit while I pack them. Film for flowers, we have few flower shops, I asked in one. They do not have it, only for their own use. I just laid out that one of these days, where there are all sorts of animals and pasochki. By the way, I painted (not for this order) a few things with Lisa Hungarian coating with dye. Yes, the gingerbread cookies started playing right away, but the customer didn’t take the dyed ones for the kids. Which are brownish - this is also a Hungarian coating, but with a decoction of Hibiscus tea

ABOUT! Now beauty !!!

Mona1,
Tanya with a start! in Donetsk, by the way, paper and bags can be seen at the book market, I bought there the last time before the new year, right now I’ll spend the last one and also run away, I hope I can eat. gingerbread cookies are very cute! they look delicious

beautifully! do not worry! but really, which are painted red look more fun! I really liked the parrots !! yesterday I was just looking for a template on the internet so that my husband made me the shape of a parrot
and bakes to order! everything works out!

Mona1, Tanya, this is great. And there is nothing to be depressed. People have DR, pregnancy and 4 children, not before communication in social. networks. And many will not report on the result. It's like in the store, buying a delicious cookie or bun from the store, but no one will thank the seller or look for the baker. Beautiful gingerbread cookies, played with filling! As for the packaging, go to the ATB stores (if there are any, we have nationalized them, now they are "Narodnye", but the weekly goods remain old, they are selling the leftovers. I used to buy New Year's paper bags, beautiful with ties and not expensive.
As for the dye, I wanted to insert a quote from Larisa Volnitskaya, but it is not copied from her website, read the paragraph about dyes in the composition.

🔗

I agree that the dye is negligible, for example, I have gel toothpicks on the tip, and this is not for one gingerbread, but for several, so the child will receive no more dye than in a purchased chupa-chups or chewing marshmallow.

Marfa donAlena, thank you, the book market is a couple of stops from me. I was already thinking about him. And the bags there are like floral paper and there is such a sticky strip on them, right?
Elya_lug, Elya, thanks for the tip about ATB. We have them, now there is also another store there, but the ATB sign with their advertising is still hanging, but they are not putting up a new sign ..))) I am running out of powdered sugar, but at ATB they told me there is today. Moreover, there is no sugar, but there is a deposit of powder. I’ll go skimp and donate. ))) I don’t want paper bags. I think that the gingerbread will dry in paper more than in cellophane. And then I just shudder about softness.
DaNiSa, Alena, well, now the third person says that he likes the parrot. And I even thought that I would not do any more, I have more fish, I like hares. But, if so, then let there be parrots.

Tanya - Mona. do you have a vacuum cleaner? I glued the bags from the files myself and cut off the edges with curly scissors, two bags come out of one file.

Mona1, Tanya, don't pay attention! I'm starting to get used to it! Everything is good with you and the gingerbread is delicious! Show us a photo! Get used to the fact that not everyone praises! Today I gave my friend a cake for her wedding anniversary and she didn’t say that it was beautiful, she thanked, but no emotions ... And yesterday I conjured over it all day. You can't surprise people with anything and is it necessary ?!

Zhen, there is no evacuator. But the files are the same polyethylene as in bags with a zip fastener, only thinner. And I have already bought a lot of these bags, my sister just told me that this is not for food (like files, probably). Although, if it's not hot to pack and not liquid, then maybe it's not harmful to pack in them. So I began to doubt. It seems you need such, for food, like flowers packaged, cellophane, rustling. Girls buy such paper from florists, like a bag, they tie it with a ribbon on top. But I don't have this paper yet, although the bags would be better, less fuss. So in search.
Vera is not something that you won’t surprise, just inattentive people to other people, all in their cockroaches.

Tanya, Well, yes, her husband gave her a gold ring, she will not admire in any way and here I am with my cake. Eh, nasty me: mad: like a bazaar grandmother. It just hurt a little that I didn't say anything

No, not nasty, but normal. We all love attention. As they say, a kind word and a cat is pleased.

It's just that people don't understand how much work and soul we put into cakes. And gold is it! Shines, expensive, beautiful

I agree to all 100. Today I gave my friend a gingerbread house (my son is 9 years old, I did it for him). A friend of hers saw: "I want, I can not!" I estimated it at 800 rubles, I spent the whole day with him. They said it was very expensive

Girls, does someone know how to make such tulips?

I could be wrong, but in my opinion this is done with a rose attachment. I somehow made similar rosebuds with cream. I'll try searching for it now.
The principle is the same

Girls, hello!

Well, only you can make a heart with a photo!

VikulyaThank you for such a huge amount of beauty! Incomparable gingerbread, I got so much pleasure, I directly represented you at school, and then inspired you, painting so many gingerbread! Colossal work, amazing work! Good girl !!!!

The beauty! Wonderful Ideas Note!

Vika, and I have nothing to say, the girls before me have already voiced all my emotions. You are a talent! In my opinion, it's time for you to conduct courses!

aelita1702, Victoria, the work is first-class Craftswoman! We have you to learn and learn ... Hearts and eights are amazing !!! I agree with the girls, open the gingerbread courses!

I've been watching you here for a month. How beautiful it is! The cakes are not as impressive to me as these gingerbreads. But I haven't tried it myself, and I'm afraid I won't succeed.

Elena Bo, Lena, no need to be afraid, it is not the gods who burn the pots))) here the main thing is to enjoy the process!

[harmful78]

Some Easter samples. Bird 5 cm, bunny 6 cm, egg 8x5.5 cm.


I do not like bunnies, I understand that the mold is not very successful, neither the tail nor the legs are highlighted. There is also some kind of protrusion on the chest, but I don't know what to do

harmful78, I liked the egg))) all the time I want to make such a pattern and how I sit down to draw - I forget

And I decided to do almost everything like this. Little labor costs (only icing needs to be mixed with a colored one), and the result is spectacular, many people really like it. I also made the same with the letters XB. But I gave it to the bride and didn’t have time to take a picture

Alyona, classrooms are not cutting down! You are lucky with your husband))) Golden hands!
Elizabeth, and bend the cuttings a little, if they are metal, and it is not necessary to tie to the contour, draw yourself as you like. The chicken definitely needs to be made rounder, at the bottom it should be pulled out a little in a semicircle, and the head should be drawn slightly lower and rounder so that the scallop fits, then the beak will be in place

harmful78, Liza, cute little animals. And a jolly testicle ... Well, flaws can be found in any job. There is no limit to perfection, but the overall impression is very positive.

[DaNiSa]

oh, by the way about the molds! I walk so happy for 2 days, my husband made new molds, size 11-13 cm


a dove, a rabbit, a bear is sitting, a bear is standing, a bear in profile is standing, my husband said - why do you need so many bears? cat
a butterfly, a rabbit with an egg, a cat, an owl, rose petals, a tulip (well, or a squirrel without a tail) and a drop, well, it's just from the leftovers, then you can think of something from it

DaNiSa, Alyona, what a fine fellow!

Mom Tanya, Thank you! I'll tell him!

Yes Yes Yes! Praise !!!

Alyona, and now I will also shout! What wonderful molds! What a good bunny !!!

What are they made of and with what devices?

Elizabeth, he makes from stainless steel, just cuts into strips with scissors, and bends according to the pattern with his hands and pliers with a sharp edge, like this

said that for some reason cats were easy to make

Alyona, cool felling! You are lucky with your husband))) Golden hands!

DaNiSaAlena, what a fine husband! Shake his manly hand from me.

DaNiSaAlena, well, where are such talented husbands found? Seriously though, I am amazed to tears by two points: first, that is not uncommon in almost all of our topics - the ability to work with your hands so that it takes your breath away and you cannot believe that it can be created :) And second, it is the support of loved ones, when they care what we are passionate about, what we lack for this, how we can make life easier and solve problems. Well, if this is the very decision also with your own hands - this is a real HARMONY, yes

Kinglet, well, I subscribe to every word! in general, the support of loved ones is very important

DaNiSa, tell your husband that you are a great fellow, how much work you will have now!

girls, thanks! I will definitely give it to my husband!

[Sahara]

Girls, and I'm asking you - I need an idea for a big carrot, a 35-year-old man, a builder, with a little humor.
I'm thinking about Larissa's technique, maybe a brick wall with Bob the builder, and on the wall there is text like chalk or paint ...
I'm afraid that the brick wall will not work and that it will not work to apply icing with a spatula.

Sahara, Lera, Larisina's technique will be just right here. The eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing. If you don't try, you won't know whether it will work or not. But on the wall some hooligan inscription will look cool. Or an ad on a carnation dangles. And the dog is standing next to it, its leg lifted ...

why doesn't it work? you quit these conversations! everything will work out !!!

Sahara, Lera, look in the search

🔗

Sahara, Lera, look what wall there is

But on the wall some hooligan inscription will look cool. Or an ad on a carnation dangles. And the dog is standing next to it, its leg lifted ..

Len, you have hooligan thoughts all the time
Can you imagine the reaction of a young man who received a gingerbread with a pissing dog as a gift for a day?
I'm not sure he'll like it a hundred percent, I won't risk it ...

[elena88]

Girls, what a beauty!

elena88, Thanks for the link! really beautiful, and I even have such attachments

DaNiSa, Alain, you have the cards in hand. I have no attachments, no skill.

what kind of talk ?! no-no, everything will work out

[DaNiSa]

Girls, this is the very thing that inspired me. I want to repeat it with my own variations.
🔗

very beautiful, it looks like our girls did, https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=35010.0
video only box with transparent lid
the truth in the video is the confectioner taak does not neatly do icing from the sides and climbs out
and I'm sure you will be beautiful !!! and what is this transparent beast? isomalt?

DaNiSa, Alena, transparent is isomalt. I almost ordered it. Rather, I threw it into the basket in the online store. Before paying, I want to know what the prices are for retail in our city. The smallest wholesale we have is 5kg. And I need a maximum of 500 grams of everything. If I don’t find it in Krasnodar, then I’ll order it. Well, about the accuracy, I agree: the video is not very good. But the main thing is the idea. And we'll see.
As for the attachments and skill, here you first need to buy attachments. I looked at the price. I'll go and see it in China. I can find cheaper. Of course, if you work to order, they pay off. And if I just play around, so the toad crushes that kind of money to throw away. Last year I almost bankrupted my family buying gadgets for working with chocolate. Made some sweets! Family and friends are thrilled. So what? Now this good is worth in a box, as a reminder - you need to be more modest in your desires

Flax, attachments do not have to be super expensive, someone works wonders with simple bags (though I couldn't do it with bags, everything is crooked). so take non-branded ones (they don't bite like that) and you can train

elena88, Lena, look at the nozzles on Crossomania. I just watched them there today. Relatively inexpensive. I have grief. I completely forgot my login details. And login and password. The trouble. At least start a new mail.

cake machine, Flax, is the cross mania now sending to Russia? Have you ordered from them for a long time?

Yes, it is written that they send everywhere. Sedna threw a lot of things into the basket. If you can order, unsubscribe

cake machine, Lena, what is there interesting for confectioners?
Or maybe I need it, but I don't know :)

Girls, throw this Crossomania link at me. I'm completely dark ...

🔗 Catch!

Oh, there is for confectioners and for all other handmakers. Straight eyes scatter.Specifically For Pastry Chefs - Baking Pans, Biscuits, Nozzles, Dyes, Muffin Tins, And More. Store truth Ukraine-Kiev ...

[ledi]

Girls, please help! In what order to paint a person, pupae, animals Prompt in simple folk language. I just can't understand. How to draw correctly to fully convey the details of the silhouette, face? Which parts should be convex? For example, a video I would draw pigtails at the end, and she draws them first. Something I'm completely confused. Where should you start first?

ledi, Vera, to your question in a personal, I will answer here) I'll tell you right away, this is my opinion, and how I would do it))


What should be convex (face) is drawn last. Icing should be made thicker than ten seconds. This is about the case with the girl) In general, icing should be 15 seconds, no less when you paint small gingerbread cookies of this kind. Pigtails, patterns, of course, contour icing. Well, the surface filling is 10 seconds or more liquid. I pour large gingerbread cookies and 3 seconds) Well, that's about.

About ponies, I think there is not much difference in which line of eyes to draw. It's just that they are somewhat milestone, which is probably why she draws them in the first place so as not to screw up the base. In which case it will be easier to remove them, to fix them than if they were damaged, if they were drawn in the second place. It will already be problematic to pick them out) In general, I am amazed at what little things she does in zip packets)))

... Why do they immediately draw eyes?

[ledi]

lediVera, these gingerbread cookies do not inspire me yet, but for the general development it would be interesting to hear the feedback from professionals.
And today I first encountered the CUSTOMER and realized that I did not want to work on order. It's just some kind of disgusting! I always give gingerbread to my son's teachers for the holidays. And of course I listen to a bunch of rave reviews. And then a young music worker asked if I could do something original for guests on her DR. I showed it as an example of a figure that I recently made for a friend. She liked it. I named the price. And then the bargaining began ... It immediately turned out that the husband was indifferent to such gingerbread, that they were small, that they did not need to paint, but to make it larger and simply circle the outline with icing ... And stuff like that. In the end, I said that for me it was not a business and with such an order as she asked, I was not interested in working. End of the story. The mood is still nasty. How do you work on order? This is heroism!

elena88, Lena))
This aunt you just got nasty :) As they say "the first pancake is lumpy"
In fact, most are nice and kind people :)
And how nice it is when they take away the gingerbread and say: How beautiful!
(even men who are not very generous with compliments)

Katerina79, Katya, and she's not an aunt at all. The girl is 22 years old. I understand that she herself cannot do anything with her hands. And it seems to her that others make beauty in the blink of an eye at the behest of a pike. And she was so surprised, saying that her mother-in-law has been keeping the gingerbread for 3 months and does not eat it. "It's a gingerbread!" The fact that some treat painted gingerbread as art does not fit in her head.

Lena, think about the fact that there are more good people, and the fact that such a fastidious and without brains customer was caught, so also take this as a test sent from above. So that you know that there are such people, and already treated good customers with redoubled attention and joy.
And you should immediately give up such grimz, so as not to spoil your aura. Do not worry. In exchange for this customer, they will send you a good person from above who will appreciate your work.
I gave my Christmas boots to my friends, and I took one to my mother.She says how much enthusiasm the old woman had, she hung it on the most prominent wall in the room on a carnation instead of some picture hanging there, as a decoration of the room. And it never even occurs to her to eat it.

Mona1, Tanya, thanks for your support! I actually had no intention of starting a gingerbread business. I have a different job. And this is kind of like an outlet for the soul. But my friend is going to make custom-made cakes herself and she puts pressure on my brain: why bury my talents in the ground ... Honestly, my talents are not shaking me anywhere, I’m not bad yet. This accidental episode came out suddenly and I chew it.

That's for sure! And immediately you forget that you spent a sleepless night and that in order to draw two eyes you need to do a special icing of the desired color, you spent a lot of dye, time, water (then wash everything)

Lenochka, forget about her! I also have one instead of thanks, she said that the children almost broke their teeth (the dough was from Gerda, the order was urgent and I baked from what was). As a result, two weeks later I ordered a new one! And on March 8, she did not get it, she was also so offended at me that I did not show her my gingerbread, so upset

Well, yes, this is a breed of people. It's just that a little sediment remained That's it, I'm running away from the forum, I need to take a small one to training.

I can tell you how and why I decided to bake gingerbread to order. For me, it was some kind of abnormal and passionate romance with gingerbread, which completely captured my mind and desires. I fell asleep and woke up with thoughts of gingerbread, shapes, colors, ornaments, then recipes. I could wake up in the middle of the night because it dawned on me and so on. For lack of practice and experience, I had to comprehend everything empirically, elementary things took a huge amount of time, mostly at night. And in the daytime life went on as usual. And ETP, of course, my passion interfered with my family, although they quieted down from such an unexpected hobby of my mother, it scared and delighted them at the same time. And then the moment came when I realized that I could not help doing this, but just for the pleasure of not sleeping at night and going crazy, so that later I could just eat everything myself, this is not the case. That since I was so seriously involved in this business, it is better then to work for sale and on order. And I do not regret it at all, thanks to the gingerbread, I ended up taking up cakes, which I never even dreamed of. And now this is a very important part of my life. And gingerbread they are practically not profitable in my opinion, but they still bring great pleasure, I create for the soul, as they say!)))

And I regret only one thing that I will already hit fifty rubles this year. There are not so many years ahead when active gingerbread making will not be a burden. Well, maybe there are still 10-15 years. Well, why didn't I meet these gingerbread cookies when I was 30? Eh, how would I turn around, how much I could catch a new one. And so, I see new ideas, new techniques here, but I decided for myself not to be too scattered in different directions, the clock is ticking, it is better to improve in one style that I like more than others, expanding the range in it.
But the cakes, although it seems like the son says: Mom, this is already the top of your skill ... Well, it turns out a little, but I know what kind of cakes the girls have, but he doesn't like cakes, especially to order, only for the family I do, once every couple of months. I'll take my soul away, that's all. But the gingerbread does not let go, you want and want to do.

Vei, Lisa, that's just for the soul. And to order - a dubious pleasure and no profitability. So for myself, I decided - let the gingerbreads remain for my soul. Mona1, Tanya, it seems to me that everything comes on time. I have been doing all kinds of handicrafts since childhood. And I figured that on average it takes me seven years for each hobby. Then I don’t quit at all, but study from time to time as needed. Skills don't go anywhere. It is necessary to sew - sew, it is necessary - I will knit, draw, blind and weave. But already without fanaticism.Before the gingerbreads, I was drunkenly embroidery, and the gingerbreads, insofar as. A son was born, his eyesight fell sharply, and the time became much less. Here the gingerbread came to the fore. So everything goes on as usual. So you will have time for everything with gingerbread.

Mona1, Tatiana, well, what years ??? The whole life is still ahead. Won Sylvia Weinstock, she is already 85 years old, what masterpieces of cakes she creates

🔗

So you can continue with gingerbread. And before they did not meet, because there was no Internet, you learn so much new with it every day.

Elya_lug, Ale, cakes, of course, super! This proves once again that it is never too late to start a new life. But won't they drive us into the topic about cakes?

elena88, and we will not talk about cakes, this is just an example that age is not an obstacle to creativity.

[Marine theme]

Marine theme
once I was looking for such gingerbread as a sample, I didn’t find anything in the wrong place, it turns out, I’m bringing it here, here it’s for sure everything will be in one place

DaNiSa, Alenka, how on time !!! Our son will have a competition in the baby pool by May 9th. They still understand little about historical dates (only 3 years each), but the participants will eat any sea animals with pleasure.

Alena, thanks for the marine selection! By the summer, you can eat for courage.

Hello girls !!!
Thank you all very much for the praises I am incredibly pleased.
Thanks to Alyonushka for uploading my photos.
I am not conceited and did not forget you))) But now I have a catastrophic lack of time. Gingerbread, gingerbread, filled all of me))) I don't even have time to do anything by Easter yet. Maybe the wrong organization of time, I work from morning to night and all there is no time))) I will not say that there are a lot of orders, but there are still a lot of them for me. I used to spy on you somehow, but now I don't think at all. I think it will be easier in May. I will now prepare for the exhibition in Almaty, so in April there will be a blockage)))
I rarely go to my computer, so if suddenly someone needs to ask something, ask the IG, it is always at hand or in whatsapp)))
I'll post it from the latter. These are fast butterflies. When someone urgently needs it)))


Crowns are my love for today)))


and our national)) from the performance is not at all delighted. I saw the idea in a completely different way

aelita1702, Victoria, I also like your crowns, beautiful !!!

oh, and this is when? will you come yourself?
I am delighted with butterflies, very beautiful!
and the crowns turned out great!
but it never occurred to me to make gingerbread in national motives and completely forgot about Nauryz all thoughts of the current Easter occupied

aelita1702, Vika, wow "fast" !!! And the crowns ?! How long does it take to be filled with beads? Well done!

Vika, Larissa! What good fellows you are - you are preparing for exhibitions !!! My respect to you and good luck!

aelita1702, Victoria, you are just wonderful! I really like otpad and national crowns, I can imagine what it would be like if it turned out as you intended! Just class! And what is this exhibition in Almaty?

aelita1702, Victoria, swift butterflies struck with their simplicity and elegance, and the crown - with chic and sophistication. I don’t know what doesn’t suit you in national design, but it looks very worthy

aelita1702, Victoria, awesome gingerbread. The crown amazed, gorgeous. Butterflies are super too. and national ones are good, if you yourself are dissatisfied, then you will do better later. Be sure to tell and show later.

DaNiSa, Alain, I also did not plan to visit the nat. style and in general to prepare for Nauryz. I have a girl, a regular customer, she deals with candy bars. This is her merit)))
Mom Tanya, The beads are icing) painted with American liquid. When the dots were just white, in my opinion it looked cooler)) Well, I always like the combination of white and red.

Butterflies are really fast))) By the way, butterflies are the most suitable option for this technique.I also want to make chocolate-white and red-white))) Well, this is for the exhibition.
About the exhibition) It will be an art exhibition: dolls, bears, paintings, etc. I used to go there with my dolls and miniatures, but now I asked for gingerbread)))

Girls, thank you all very much

Vei, Liz !! And you come to our exhibition! I will provide food and accommodation !!
Girls, it concerns everyone! Come !!

Aha! Now the whole crowd and we will fill up

elena88, can you imagine how many topics for conversation we will have !!!!

Oh. so glad! I still dream of going to Germany, and my friends call and relatives, and I promise everything that I’ll dig up some money and come
Larisa, thank you for such an offer! It's nice to know that in a foreign country there will be someone to turn to ... if anything ....

DaNiSa, Alain, and I dream of Kazakhstan, home ...

Larochka, invite

DaNiSa, Thank you! I have friends in Taraz. Together from kindergarten.

The other day I drew such gingerbread cookies, as a gift to an acquaintance who loves cats very much. Cast on a file, the size of the gingerbread is 9 cm, the nose and mouth were drawn with a marker, the rest is icing.

the first pancake turned out not without lumps. Ising was thin, and I hurried with the filling, flowed here and there through the contour. But we will try.
