We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Kitty]

it must be transported somehow, with such dimensions - it will crack anyway,

I don't even know what to say, here is a set, the size of the gingerbread is 12-13 cm and a large half of the album sheet, flew to Dubai, without any substrates.




nothing cracked, this bear 15 cm, left in a parcel to another country, the same

Kittywhat a cool photo against the background of the sea !!! Travelers, however, are your gingerbread!

yes, this is a photo of the customer.

Kitty, photo of gingerbread in Dubai is cool!

Kitty, thanks for the ideas and new interesting works!

[Tanya]

My first wedding

Tanya, Mona1, wonderful! So neat, with a perfectly smooth fill! Well done!

very neat and straight wedding!

Mona1, Tan, what beautiful white !!! And no paints are needed, it's a miracle!

Laris, I also like that there are not enough paints, otherwise more than two are needed, so I freak out, because I have two nozzles in total .... I had. And right now I also bought a bunch of Atekovskys, 4 pieces of each running number, and one more 000 and 00 and several adapters. And gel paints. In general, a holiday for the soul. But while they are on their way. They will arrive in only 10 days. I can't wait already.

I really liked your gift to mom, the coating is unusual, it looks like a vintage, expensive.

Tanya, beautiful hearts, and next time add the rose with at least two leaves under the bud and preferably a darker color so that you don't seem naked.

Yes, if just separately, like a rose, then I agree - it would be nice to have leaves. I will definitely do it. Thanks for the tip. I just bake the leaves, like individual gingerbread cookies, then when decorating the bouquet, the roses go in tiers. The lower roses themselves cover the skewers on the upper roses, and then I attach the leaves to the lowest skewers in the places where they are visible

Mona1, such snow-white gingerbread, very beautiful!

Tanya, very neat and beautiful gingerbread!

And I just saw a cartoon about all of us on the eve of the holidays. About the Smurfs, it's called "magic gingerbread." I'll insert a video under the spoiler, take a look

[How to make the effect of old cracked on icing]

How to make the effect of old cracked on icing
And I have such a huge (20 cm) cookie (chocolate, icing, mastic) as a gift to my Mom.

a wonderful gift, great work!

Larissa, I can't see what the coating is, how it looks. From here it looks like a pillow, in general, it creates a kind of fabric-like feeling. What is it?

Vei, Liz, this is icing! I filled it in and when it was a little dry, I beat the top crust by tapping.
As if old cracked

Larissa, and something else on top?

harmful78, on top with dry paint brown shaded cracks

Larissa u, gorgeous gingerbread !! you are an innovator!

Larissa, very beautiful gingerbread! All your work is very cool !!!

[Katerina]

And I and thank Lisa Vei for the idea of ​​children's gingerbread with names!

Katya, very neat inscriptions. What is the nozzle number I used here? And whose - Atekovskie, RME or another. Well numbers do not match. I have the smallest - # 1 Ateko. In general, not inscriptions, but some kind of logs all the time. Right now I ordered smaller ones, I'm waiting. And for the inscription you have the same icing density as for the lines?

Katerina, very nice and neat!

the inscriptions turned out very wonderful, neat, and the gingerbreads are all so funny, children!

Tanya, Elizabeth, Kitty, girls, thanks!
Tanyusha, I have PME nozzles, Liza and Lera once advised me.They are actually much better than the Ateco, especially for lettering. True, more expensive. This is a minus.
I make the inscriptions 1.5 PME, if it is necessary thinner - 1 PME.
In terms of density, icing from the basic recipe, 90 grams of protein and 450 grams of powdered sugar. I don't add water, I write to them.

And 1.5 PME and 1 PME is about what number of Ateko?

I have now compared 1.5 with Ateso "0". It seems to me that PME is even a bit narrower.

Oh, well, imagine. And I draw Ateko 1. Do you sow powder through organza?

Yeah
The powder that has not sifted goes into the gingerbread dough.
So waste-free production :)

No, it's very stressful for me. And not even in terms of labor costs. Just a 200g packet of powder costs 17 hryvnia, 3 times more expensive than yours. And not too finely ground. Yes, in principle, all products are so far. Therefore, I am not sowing yet. Only through a strainer, but, of course, through smaller nozzles, such icing will not work, it will clog right away.

[Larissa]

Girls!! I have such awesome news !!!! In November (God willing) I am going to Neli Yosefsen's for a course on the liver !!!
I'm just hysterical with happiness !!

Larissa, cool!! I wish nothing changed your plans !! Wow, how many new things can you bring! : wow: will you bring it? true?

Larissa, I am also hysterical ... - from envy, JOKE !!!
Heartiest congratulations!

Congratulations! firstly, with the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person, and secondly, with the opportunity to learn from such a master, I am very happy for you.

Larissa, Congratulations! May everything you have planned come true!

Girls, thank you all very much for being happy with me!

[Larissa]

Girls, and I made a cookie for my granddaughter's christening last night for a friend. All the same my favorite vanilla, decoration - mastic

Larissa, class! Very gentle!

Larissa, what cuties! Great! But how did you do these monograms on icing? Or is it mastic? Although no, it seems. Intrigued.

Mona1, and read?

Larissaare you cheating? ))) why mastic and not icing?
they are, of course, very beautiful and neat, but this is not in brazilian in our opinion!)))

Vei, and what are we in the topic of icing now ???
Like decorating cookies ....: girl-th: I can and icing!

Larissa, very gentle and airy! Still, the mastic looks cool on cookies and it turns out pre-perfect!
It's a pity that I won't get to know mastic in any way

Sahara, Ler, you still forgot to say - and faster! No need to wait until they dry out, with your performance - that's it! And the question of salmonolysis disappears, we recently found it in a dry protein, but I thought it was safe at least!

Larissa, gentle and beautiful. I liked booties with cookie clasps, they are cool. The only thing: mastic, in my opinion, is utter disgusting. Or is it removed from the cookie before eating?

harmful78, Lisa, did you eat mastic ?? If you close your eyes and don’t know that it’s mastic, you will not distinguish from icing! The mastic even has an advantage, it is not necessary to apply such a thick layer, therefore it is not so sweet!
P.S I make mastic myself according to the recipe of Larisa Volnitskaya

Larissa, did not eat homemade. I ate purchased. Beeeee! But here, as they say, the taste and color

harmful78, Liz, mastic is sugar paste, the composition should be - powdered sugar and a binder (gelatin, marshmallows, condensed milk), you can add lemon and it will be sour.
So if you tried the nasty stuff, then the manufacturer is like that!

Larissahow did you react to the gift? The cookies are great! Delicate, even!

ledi, Ver, I sent them by mail, they have not seen it yet. I think it will only come on Monday

[ledi]

and I cry again. There is a fair tomorrow! And I didn’t do everything that I planned. So I wanted to make vases like Lera's and caskets. But ... I managed to fall out of the blue. The leg turned up. Severe sprain in the elbow, bruised palm. Unlucky right hand. I will report how everything went and show the pictures. First time I'm worried

ledi, Ver, everything will be fine! Good luck!

Vera, Get well!!!
Good luck at the fair!

ledi, Verun! The main thing is not to worry! You will see, everything will be much better than you think!
By the way, vases, boxes are not very popular at fairs, people mostly row trifles
You go to sleep well and gather your strength, I will look forward to the report and hold my fists for you!

I just wanted to do it as an exhibition version. I went to see you and admired your vases. But the most did not work ... and the dough is already ready. But it didn't work out. Well nothing! that everything is not being done for the better !!!!
Girls, thanks for your support! I love you! You are already so close and dear! Like Chip and Dale! Always resort to help!

[Burunduk]

Oh ... She sighed deeply and left the bushes - to your company, how much to look from the side
My first independent gingerbread

Burunduk, Tatyan, and we are so glad to see you !!!
How long can you ask how you create such beauty !!! Question 1. What colors do you paint?

Larissa, embarrassed me with American gel paints.
But I made the gingerbread cookies with poppies the way I make my rice cakes, and then I painted them in addition

Very nice!

Burunduk, Tanya, well, nothing to yourself! First ... !!! As in the famous movie: "You are some kind of hidden fashionista" I sat in the bushes. Tell me, how is this even possible to create?

Mona1, Tanya, I don’t know myself! From experience with icing - only a two-day master class for beginners. Two weeks later, the first icing gurgled, made a background fill. It's okay ... I tried to repeat the gingerbread with lavender - it worked. I drew a bouquet of daisies - nothing like that. Then I tried a bunch of poppies in a basket, the first poppy is lumpy, the second is better, the third looks like a poppy already! Then I decided to make a drawing, as I do on cakes, only on gingerbread and icing, and not butter cream. The little poppy turned out to be successful, grew bolder and made this big gingerbread with wildflowers. And now I'm sitting in shock myself. I DON'T KNOW AT ALL to draw !!! AS?!?! What has been sleeping in me all these years ?!
The only thing is that I found several paintings-drawings with poppies, daisies, cornflowers, etc. - just drawn, not photos. So, while redrawing, I carefully examined the shades and transitions of colors, tried to repeat it as someone had already done. All!!! I'm going to the evening artist!
Here you can better see how the icing was applied under the painting. I sketched the contours with a thin brush, applied icing with a cornetic, then added shades with a brush

Tatyana, amazing! we can say that she came up with a new technique! class !!!
welcome to us!

Burunduk, Tan, just amazing! it must be purely pictures!

Burunduk, Tan, how painstakingly it is necessary to draw all this. I'm already quietly angry at those who dare to bite off this miracle and chew mercilessly.
Are there any special brushes for artists? And diluted gel paints in alcohol? I read your description, I still can hardly imagine how this can happen, especially since, in your words, not an artist. You are a great fellow!

Girls, dear, thanks for the kind words! I hope I am with you for a long time now!

Are there any special brushes for artists? And diluted gel paints in alcohol?

Brushes - yes, artistic, synthetic, I bought them for tinting mastic colors - flat and pointed, they fit perfectly. I just diluted the paints with water, but vodka would probably be better.
The work is really very painstaking, it took 7 hours to make a big gingerbread (16 * 20 cm). It is unlikely that they will buy one for adequate money, but they are not the point - I am just happy, like a child! Surely this is luck and in the future I will have a bunch of mistakes, difficulties and cookies that will have to be quietly fed to the family, but now I'm just sure that in the end everything will work out!
And the gingerbread as a gift has already left for Norway, to represent the country, so to speak

Tatyana, gingerbread SUPER! Very neat and realistic, like a real painting! Well done!

Today I was told that it is a pity to eat beauty. They just didn't see the real beauty! It definitely shouldn't be eaten

[harmful78]

And they ordered me a wedding present. They wanted a bird with feathers, and on the feathers so that there were wishes





I also made such a heart, although the design was licked from the Internet


And there were "linen" orders

In general, I did the work.Now I showed it and ran (more precisely, went) to rest

harmful78, Lizok. The idea with feathers - wishes is very unexpected and interesting.
It is good for you to rest and accumulate strength for new masterpieces!

Liza, the bird is cool, original!
A graceful heart!
I’m thinking, when you did hakki, each color separately, it’s so painstaking! And if all the flowers are dripped at once? I didn't do it myself, thoughts out loud

harmful78, Liza, a very interesting bird and all the gingerbread cookies were a success! well done!

Liza, Liked everything! Except for the birds! Just no offense, okay: sorry: After all those works that I saw at you, these birds seem to be not yours. Or were you in a great hurry? Rush order? Cool idea with feathers. But, something is wrong with them. Maybe the brightness, or the shape of the bird is not correct. In general, I'm sorry for being straightforward.
send or not send

Vera, so they are not mine. I did not want to make this bird at all, the idea itself seemed to me stupid, to be honest. But the customer wanted the bird. I did not find anything suitable on the Internet, I did what I could. Although, what happened in the end, I liked it. It is a combination of colors. She's all as bright as a firebird. True, it looks more like a pigeon with furry paws. But the customer, probably, was not very happy. Is silent. I once asked her in vatsap: as a gift, she replied that she had not yet been given. And that's all, it quieted down. Although this is an acquaintance of my friend

Lisa, are that paws? And I decided that the wings were down. The bird should have upward wings. I hope you are not offended? I've wanted to make such a bird for a long time. And I have already bought the uniform, but there is no reason

["Big gingerbread card"]

and I have today "Big gingerbread card" size 20x30 cm, it is double, the cover is on top, and inside is the actual congratulation:

Tanya, yes, I just went to rest for a day.Now I won't have more money now
Vei, ElizabethThe postcard is gorgeous, I noticed it on Instagram. How did you make such an interesting coating?

This is a diluted icing applied with a brush.

Elizabeth, that is, just very liquid?

Vei, Lizonka, such a huge gingerbread and so insanely beautiful!
Such icing looks very original, it creates the impression of rich weightless handicrafts!
How neatly and symmetrically each curl turns out, it is clear that the hand displays each fragment confidently! Thank you for such beauty!

Lisa, very beautiful! a real imitation of cambric with stitching.

Elizabeth, jewelry work!
I have a question: the top gingerbread does not scratch the roses and the inscription on the bottom? Or did you put something between them?
And one more thing :) You yourself came up with such a complex work with a bunch of small parts or are these customers demanding steel today?

The beauty!!!!!! Such a frame (which is closer to the middle) is unusual, very interesting.

Vei, Liz, well, lace and lace, what a beauty!

I have a question: the top gingerbread does not scratch the roses and the inscription on the bottom? Or did you put something between them?

Yes, I laid it with paper shavings - food filler, so that nothing is scratched or damaged.

Did you come up with such a complex work yourself with a bunch of small parts or are these customers demanding steel today?

I thought of everything myself, it was just interesting to do just that. for me, there are not very many small details, I wanted most of all openwork, but did not have time.

[How to make military camouflage]

How to make military camouflage
Katerina79, yes, military swimwear is painstaking to make. Therefore, I appreciated them a little more expensive. Even if you fill everything together, every speck still needs to be drawn. By the way, I got the usual trouble with them - specks fell through
Fortunately, the drawing was such that I installed the patches without problems. But here I sit and think: I’m probably interrupting icing. My mixer burned out, they gave me another one for a while, but it doesn't work for more than three minutes, it's warming up. So I beat them in parts. Where I guess, and where not.

And I also have a question, this is probably for Elizabeth. Is it possible to send dry protein in such heat, nothing will happen to him? I wanted to write it out by September 1, but now we have an outbreak of salmonellosis, and I just have a panic. I'm madly afraid that someone will get sick from my gingerbread ... I want to order now

I think yes, it's still better than live salmon. He's dry, what will he get?

Elizabeth, and in which store can you order it? Where do you get it and does it differ in quality? There is no art cake ...

Liza, I just made gingerbread yesterday, there were also a couple of holes, I thought for a long time again. And suddenly I remembered that when I was learning to make gingerbread, icing, MK masters from different sites, then a couple of times I came across that initially they were doing two icing - cooler and more liquid, which differ only in the amount of powder put in it. And there is no water. The first is for lines, the second is for filling. Maybe, of course, a little bit of water will drip into the second, but not so much as if the thick icing is diluted to the pouring consistency of the pouring one. That is, the holes are just water dried up and in its place there is a void, a hole. And if there is no water or sooo little, then there is no problem. I would like to try.

no, no need to reinvent the wheel,fill in the main background, having previously prepared all the colors of the spots, filled in and immediately drip the rest of the colors in random order, trying to repeat the camouflage








as a result, the gingerbread will be camouflage, but smooth

Kittythanks for the camouflage! That's how I imagined it :)

[ledi]

Girls! Fair has passed! and in general I'm happy! I arrived tired, excited and impressed! What I thought would not sell for some reason, sold immediately. There are a lot of gingerbread left. The organizer of the holiday gave a lot. The event was on the beach by the river. There were many vacationers, but there is nothing for children for sale. Therefore, everyone ran to me. Round gingerbread with embroidery (I have already shown them) quickly disappeared, although they were the most expensive of all. Bears on a stick and butterflies sold very well, balls are worse, flowers are also normal. But she brought almost everything home. Probably not clear I drew
Here I am, all at work There was little room This photo of the house was taken, training gingerbread layout. She made the boxes herself. in general, I boasted and went to bed

ledi, Vera, well done, and you were worried! How beautifully everything is decorated with you, and the boxes are feast for the eyes - even with bows and multi-colored. And how many interesting things are in them. It seems to me that the people there were just hovering over the table, considering and not knowing what to choose. The people are generally an incomprehensible substance. You will never know what he will like. And this is another proof that if something didn’t work out the way you wanted, that the carrot didn’t work out, then this is the very carrot- Lucky and people will like the most. And the baskets are super. I don't know what the people want. Maybe because they look like Easter eggs. They think - Easter is over, why do we need them.
P.S. Vera, is your hand better after the fall?

Verun, well, with the initiative of you !!! The pavilion is so neat and the counter is superbly decorated! And you are irresistible against the background of your creations I really liked your baskets with berries - I will take them to my bookmarks, Tanya is right - you can’t guess what exactly people might like, and the main problem is still in purchasing power, you yourself know how tight it is for everyone now
In any case, you are a great fellow and a great smart girl who took part in the fair! I am sure that next time the demand for your gingerbread will be even better. By the way, have you made business cards?
Get well soon!

Vera, everything turned out great! so beautifully decorated everything and laid everything out in the baskets from the side it looks very fun gingerbread on hanging ribbons immediately attract attention

Vera, congratulations on a successful fair! The gingerbread house is very beautiful! The multi-colored box counter looks great. The gingerbread cookies are all wonderful! You are a beauty behind the counter! I also see information about the gingerbread cookies :) Have you read the people?
Your tent or did the organizers give it?

Tanya, Tanya, thanks! hand passes, today is the first day without an injection. The palm passed faster, and the elbow and knee are still not moving well. Excessive sudden movements bring pain, as it cramp
Lera, Lera. Thank you! There is someone to learn from! I had business cards even earlier. Here they were made by the whole forum: girl_haha: I'm just running here.
but yesterday I forgot to distribute them, lay in plain sight, maybe someone took

I also had an advantageous place, near the entrance to the event, and you could see it from the road. The permeability was good. And the baskets are ordinary cardboard boxes covered with chintz. Nothing better came to mind
Katerina, Katya and thank you for the praise! Most likely the people did not read it, maybe a few noticed it. They looked at everything, touched everything, and many asked if it was possible to eat it.
The event was attended by bikers, showed their show, so to speak on motorcycles. So one guy when buying asked for a gingerbread with a minimum of dyes. and the children chose either for a long time or something for 10 hryvnia
I rented a tent. The sign was made on the last day, although I ordered it 1.5 months in advance. But it can be seen, I didn't even draw a frame. Well the extra red ribbon was.

Vera smart girl! I did so much work, also boxes and decoration! : girl_love: just done! As for consumer demand, there is a great secret, you can expect that something will be a bomb, and make a couple of more samples for that bomb, and they bam-and become a hit, and the bomb lies and misses.

Vera, show me your business cards! Or write on which page they can be viewed

Liza, https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=418547.80 like these ones

ledi, Ver, I congratulate you that you coped with yourself and took part in the fair! Well done! and the market understood a little, what kind of gingerbread people are more interesting, and in general it showed itself !! Congratulations! I myself would have taken part in this with pleasure!

Girls, here are a couple of pictures from the fair, I show them because they are of the best quality

Vera, the work has been done simply grandiose! How did you manage to defend the fair afterwards, that's something! just a heroic hero! I usually can't talk after the gingerbread boom on the holidays.

Vera, smart girl, congratulations on such a large-scale project! I am very happy for you and I did not doubt you at all!

so I didn't have a holiday: this: I didn't see anything there, except with one eye.
Vei,

I mean that I have so many gingerbread only on holidays, that's why the association.

Kitty got ready for 1.5 months

you are still a hero, and don't argue! colossal work!

Verawhat / you are all the same, well prepared for the fair. The counter is very rich, and I also really liked the name of the tent "Gingerbread House". To be honest, I even envy. It's a shame but it's true

Lisa, the name came to mind quickly. My gingerbread business started with a gingerbread house. It so happened that I presented my first gingerbread house to my employees for St. Nicholas Day on December 19. He probably helped me a lot in this matter, I believe in it. Simply, gingerbread, houses, cakes began from that day. loaves, Easter cakes. Let it be small, but now I bake them not only for myself, but also for people. Here's a story.

[Lada2014]

Girls, craftswomen.

Please help me make an owlet.
Casting eyes on the file, it turns out oblique. Have you ever done it? We need these.


Bottom photo, what happens.

Lada2014, and what do you fill in first, eyes or an owl? I remember on some kind of video that you need eyes first. And for me, to be honest, not very oblique. A couple, but not all

Lada2014, I saw on the video (I'll look) how the eyes were made separately on the file, and then they were simply superimposed on the owl, it was just gorgeous. can you try this? my dream is to make owls, and I always get them with slanting eyes

I think when you finish drawing them everything will look good!

Thank you, my dear gingerbread makers !!!

[How to draw an owl]

How to draw an owl
there is such an option, but I did not mean this, there is even more beautiful

I like that

and the third option

oh, I found another owl

[Liza]

Girls, I'll show you. I made a bear based on the video that was posted here. I ask you to evaluate, only honestly, without any offense

what do you dislike? I really like the fur, but I don’t like these seams on any toys, so I don’t like it, it feels like the maniac mocked them. and on the head it’s definitely extra
and the heart should be a little more voluminous at the bottom, at the bear's right leg, otherwise it’s as if there is a gap, but where the handles were there it turned out well, as if the bear pressed the heart tightly to itself

I liked the bear itself, but, to be honest, I wanted to play it on Instagram, for the residents of the city (I finally have 100 subscribers) And now I doubt a little: is he worthy? Or is it too simple?
I asked Liza here, she is silent for something. You can once. And in the topic on icing - is it the one to which the link is at the beginning of the topic?

Liza, The bear is cool! Only the seams need to be darker, otherwise they are not visible

harmful78, Liz, in principle, for drawing people give a damn about quality. But if you don’t want to lose your face, show a bright work, you’d better redo it.
The drawing is located somewhere on the side. The muzzle, too, seemed to move sideways, the legs were separate from the body. The general impression is that the work is untidiness.

Larissa, I forgive You correctly said: the feeling of untidiness of work. It seems that the wool is good, and the bear is not so scary, but I had no satisfaction when looking at this gingerbread. Well, then we will redo it. And we'll eat this ourselves

harmful78, Liz, thanks for your understanding !! just like a type: if you want the bear to look directly, then the nose and eyes are in the middle, and if you look to the side, then white drops on the eyes are on the side, and the blue nose is not in the center of the white speck, and also slides to the side

harmful78, Liza, I like the bear - and the fur, and even the seams. But the heart seems to be a little too big. I want to push it a little down from the face, otherwise there is no mouth visible at all. And it seems like a bear smiles, but his heart almost hides a smile. And it’s like in a song: Well, friendship begins with a smile. Moreover, if you give it to a subscriber, practically a friend.

harmful78, Liza, finally got to your bear))))) only I will analyze in detail the bear itself, there are no complaints about the fur, very cute. firstly, at the Teddicks, if it was he who was initially thought of, as they say, in a bunch


then, they do not have a mouth (this is to the fact that it is closed with a heart, this is just nothing, even justified) and emotions, such as a smile, are again indicated by eyes


they have a rather large head relative to the body and they are also clubfoot, try to print or draw by hand and scratch this business along the contour with an awl on the gingerbread.
As for the seams, this is their "trick", without them it will already be just a gray bear, but in general, of course, Teddicks are not very funny, albeit cute bears, try a more fun option, for example Barney)
good luck!

Kitty, Thank you. I was just sitting that day analyzing my bear

I have another question: is it possible to make icing or icing not with powder, but, for example, with fructose or sorbitol?

[Elizabeth]

And from today I work in the team of Tatiana Khromushina in her studio-bakery "Non-random cookies": girl_claping: and even already managed to do something there:



these are of course very unpretentious gingerbread, but it was still great!
Tanya turned out to be an easy and positive person (I hoped for this, but was afraid that in reality we would not like each other), but apparently we are on a common wave.
Only gingerbread today I smelled)))))))

Elizabeth, Congratulations Tell me more about what and how ?! And who is this and what kind of studio? Personally, I hear it for the first time.

Elizabeth, that's lovely! Congratulations!
Tell me, it's very interesting how you work there. All day? Are you baking yourself? Do you make to order or is there a permanent assortment for sale? What else besides gingerbread? How many people are in the team?
Sorry for a bunch of questions

I also wanted to ask about gingerbread :)
The inscriptions are all one to one! How did you make the letters?

Vei, Liz, congratulations again !! I'm sure everything will go well for you at your new job !! How great it is to be with like-minded people !! Liz, are you just decorating or baking too? Or is it at home? Or how? If, of course, you can talk about it.

I also join all the questions

About Tanya's work.
She is our Russian Julia Asher, who has been dealing with gingerbread for over 5 years, in general, she started at the forefront. And by the way, last year in the spring I went to America to the same Julia Asher at the Cookie Con and won a prize with her gingerbread.
I once saw her work at the Fair of Masters, most of all I was then surprised by the work of 3D from gingerbread. And just less than a year ago, she opened her bakery (I would call it a workshop), that is, it's not at home at all, everything is grown-up. The workshop in which they paint is very cozy, with large windows, it is light and comfortable there.
I will only deal with the decor, the baker bakes there. The only negative for me is that this whole story is located absolutely on the other end of Moscow from me, and in the fastest scenario I can get there only by metro (and I have already lost the habit of it in such a volume) and at least 1.5-2 hours ((
But just closer to the center to find a production facility for more or less sane money is extremely difficult, if not impossible. So I understand everything, but very far away (((

Vei, yes, 4 hours - there - back this is serious !! I drive one way for half an hour, and that seems far away. But in Moscow there are as many as I know. So, the most important thing is your favorite work, if only you do not tear your back there, on a mass scale, but all day long ... do gymnastics for the back periodically !!

The inscriptions are all one to one! How did you make the letters?

with a food marker, an inscription was applied through a copycake, then I drew by hand according to the model.

Was the inscription already applied? Or you yourself?

Vei, Liz, I'm glad for you, but with sadness. now, consider that you have moved away from creativity (or are you allowed a flight of fantasy?

Thank you! It turns out that with serious volumes and a professional approach, there is no way without a penny.
Lisa, I wish you good luck on your new interesting job! Get some experience!
But what about your "solo" career now? Orders for gingerbread and cakes? Are you planning to combine and manage everything?

Let's see, of course, there will be very little time for a solo career, so I don't know yet what will lie ahead. Now I am interested in this, especially since it all began with gingerbread and I love them very much.

Elizabeth, sincerely wish you good luck! May you succeed!

Vei, Lizonka, belatedly I want to join the girls' congratulations! Let this event in your life bring you new bright colors, new discoveries and even more pleasure from your favorite work!

thanks girls!

[Larissa]

Girls, and I got infected with Vika's letters. There are no cuttings yet, I just cut it out according to the template, and I didn't really like the letters themselves, but I already (hurray!) Found the ones I wanted, I'll do the cuttings myself! It remains to stock up on iron and choose the time!
And these are letters for Yuna (15 cm). I won't do such big ones anymore, 10cm is enough. the decoration took less than an hour, and if in one color, then even less. This is the advantage of mastic

You have got very beautiful letters for Yuna! I can't understand everything, how do you attach mastic to the liver?

Oh yes! I moisturize the mastic a little, and it sticks like a pretty one!

Larissa, such neat letters, beautiful and gentle. How did you tint the mastic? just a brush and dry dyes?

DaNiSa, Alyon, I painted mastic with gel from wilton

Larissa, is it done with a joint? where are the flowers? and for some reason I thought that I powdered half the letters for tenderness

yes, Alain, there is a joint. It's impossible to powder it so neatly, at least I can't

you need an airbrush, then you don't need to powder and there will be no joint.

it would be nice to have it for a start!

Larissa, the letters are amazing! Very gentle!

Larissa, well, you're teasing me with your mastic gingerbread))) Very neat, gentle and stylish! I was getting ready to make friends with mastic in the summer, but I’m terribly short of time, but your work haunts me!

I put MK from Valeria in my bookmarks https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=335474.0 (Decorating gingerbread and cookies with mastic (imitation of icing) Everything is so easy))) Maybe someone will come in handy

[Vei]

Girls, brought more rice-cake. Still, flowers work out better than animals

Tanya, I really like your rice flowers, maybe the background is not so intense and bright, so that the little animals are more solo?

Vei, Lisa, thanks, I'll try to soften the brightness. Or here's a blue background for poppies-daisies instead of green - what do you think would be better?

most likely blue is better, but only very light, transparent, pastel and not bright.

Burunduk, Tan, I agree with Lisa, the background dominates.
But embroidery, of course, is something !! Tan, that you draw each stitch like this ?!

Tatyana, such gingerbread cookies are cool! Very neat work! About the background I agree with the girls, it is necessary to be a bit quieter. I have never tried to paint like that. Tell me, is it long? How much time is needed for 1 gingerbread?

Burunduk, Tanya, your embroidery pictures are wonderful! The bunny is just cute! I envy your patience and accuracy!
Thank you for making us happy with your work!

Thank you for making us happy with your work!

And thank you girls for your kind words and advice!

Tan, that you draw each stitch like this ?!

Yeah :-))) I really like the result

Tell me, is it long? How much time is needed for 1 gingerbread?

Katerina, long. This gingerbread with pansies (11 cm in diameter) took three hours with a penny. It was I who sketched the contours of the already drenched dried gingerbread, made a relief and painted. Over time, perhaps, it will turn out faster, but hardly much faster.

Tatyana, Yeaaaaaaaa! Tanya, so much work has been put into it !!!!!!!!!! But I can't even find the words to call them. They are masterpieces !!!!!!

This gingerbread with pansies (11 cm in diameter) took three hours with a penny.

Hmm .... it turned out quickly ... Well, how much should such a gingerbread cost? how can you sell it after that like a gingerbread? People do not understand how much work it is, that paints on paper are many times faster, but here it is like real embroidery in terms of time and labor costs.
No, I'm not ready to use such techniques in gingerbread, such a gingerbread should cost like a cake, and my customers won't pay that much for an 11 cm gingerbread.
All the same, it's just a gingerbread, I come to the conclusion that everything should be easier, I don't want to throw pearls for a penny anymore!

Conclusion: make such gingerbread only when you want to enjoy working with it. After that, give it to someone you want to do something nice and ...get once more pleasure from the grateful recipient.

Liza, I am now euphoric from what turns out - a complete surprise for me. So, one might say, this is pure creativity. For sale, it is probably worth making less time-consuming gingerbread - themed, humorous. I will try them too, but my nature is windy, I always want something new!
And then, to the thrill from the process and the result, the thrill is added from your praise, authoritative for me craftswomen, whose work I looked for a long time ago ... No, I haven't played enough yet!

Now, while I was writing, Luda set out my thought briefly and clearly!

Tan, you can use this technique to prepare in advance decorative panel elements for cakes (icing, cream, mastic). They are stored for a long time, creativity is realized, and at the same time the work will be appreciated higher and more expensive than just a gingerbread.

In-in! The thought came to my mind when they wanted to order a whole cake with this kind of decoration. If the thoughts coincide, then the idea is viable!

Burunduk, Tanya, I understand you very well. When you don't think about money from you, you want to do it, without sleep, without a lunch break, and waaaa, so that no one interferes!

Larissa, but it's so cool! I always admired the enthusiasm of the members of the forum, and now, when I was painting, I caught myself holding even my breath and biting my tongue out of zeal - like in childhood! The product of my labor in the world is immaterial, there is nothing to poke at and show, they say, you see, I did it. So now I am running around with these gingerbread cookies like a fool with candy wrappers Fortunately, the family with all its hands "for" Like-minded people - it's great, I'm so glad that I broke into your company!

Tatyana,

[Lera]

A little humor from me))) A regular customer asked me to make such a set as a birthday present to the boss, he is the head of the pension fund.


Gingerbread according to my recipe, about 10 cm in size.

Lera, a wonderful gift for the boss !!! And then he, the poor, is tired of pensioners !!!)))

Saharawhat funny bodysuits! and what do they order in 3 pieces?

Sahara, Lera, a good present for the head of the pension fund So many small details are drawn, go crazy! I am always lazy about it

LeraLera, you haven't shown anything for a long time! Cool gingerbread! I can imagine how the boss will smile when he sees them

[alena555]

finally it turned out to make a gingerbread, did not swell or twist!

I ask for the quality, the tablet is broken, only the phone

alena555, I liked your snowman very much! : girl_claping: It's clear with filling, it's clear with white curls, but how was the picture made? Some horizontal stripes are visible ... Tell me!

alena555, yeah, pretty snowman, join the question Tatiana

Some horizontal stripes are visible ... Tell me!

In general, I tried to do cross stitching, but it seems to me that the icing was a little thin! in real life the dots are seen well! but in the photo it turned out in stripes ...
here is the diagram

alena555, a snowman in the middle of summer - cool!

alena555, Alyona. are you already preparing for the New Year? A smooth gingerbread turned out and everything is fine with the filling. And how did you draw the outline of a snowman so thinly. what nozzle?

I just walked with a thin brush so that only the contour was slightly

[Vera]

And I have already bought the uniform, but there is no reason

Vera, and what size is this form in general?

Alyona, Birdie 15 cm

thank you, Vera!

girls who asked how the lard is prepared, which is added to the gingerbread? it turns out we have a detailed MK on the forum how to do it
How to cook lard
I do everything in the same way, only at the end of frying I add salt and a large onion, fried until a very golden color, then I take it out, and I filter everything not just through a sieve, but through a sieve + gauze in several layers, then no pieces get into in lard

[Burunduk]

Another drew ...

Burunduk, Tanya, no words! very tender, and such fresh flowers, as if a breeze in a bunch

Alyona, thanks, Alena! The photo did not convey the relief well - the flowers are voluminous on the gingerbread, so it is much easier for me to give shades. That is, just on a smooth gingerbread, I would not be able to draw a clover, "tubes" of purple and orange colors.

Tatyana, very painstaking work! Only give this

Lisa, thanks!

[Burunduk]

Girls, forgive me for exhibiting my work, but not commenting on yours - I just don't consider myself entitled to do it yet. Until...
But your comments are really, really looking forward to! I tried to do something non-floral, and that's what came out of it.

Burunduk, Tan, well, you cut straight without a knife, wow and-z-o-o-o-o-o
if you go to art school, then only a teacher

DaNiSa, Alyona, embarrassed straight! In fact, this is a sketch (and not very successful) from the illustration

Tatyana, I join all the words of Alena. (y) Sketches !!!
Tanya, not everyone can sketch. For example, I can't. It seems that, I look, I see where the same eye is, but I can draw well, not at all there. I see that there is a shadow, but I cannot convey this shadow at all, and so on, etc. I cannot convey the spread of the building, give volume to the object.
So for me to sketch is a high art.
Therefore BRAVO !!!!!!

Tanechkawhat beauty and what work !!! To the exhibition! Not to eat there is!!!!!!!

Girls, thank you very much, I directly physically feel how your words energize me

Tanya, not everyone can sketch. For example, I cannot

Luda noticed from herself that it is easier to draw from a drawing than from a photograph. In the drawing, this work - the decomposition into shades, the arrangement of shadows and highlights - has already been completed by the artist, it remains to spy on and repeat (just, hee hee!). Although you see, I didn't guess either - in the original the girl still has legs in old shoes, they don't fit. And the hat slid on its side

To the exhibition! Do not eat there !!!!!!!

Tanya, namesake, and my family is already encouraging me to do this. Our city is small, but there is an exhibition hall, it could be done there. But I think that if a dozen works are enough for a stand in a collective exhibition, then for a personal exhibition you need at least 25-30, what do you think? In general, this idea hits the brain, because a month ago in my asset there was not one, even the most simple, gingerbread!

Tanya, you need to seriously approach this issue !!!
Family "for" - how lovely! The most important thing!!!
There is an exhibition hall! Super! No need to look for a place, knock your head off !!!
Personal - it's hard right away! What are we going to do next? Would you like to join a collective first ... or a festive one ...?
A month ago, it was not - do not give up this charm - after more time there should only be more and better!
(Larissa is an example for us !!!!!)))))))

The upcoming events will probably be timed to coincide with the New Year .... There is a traditional exhibition-sale of cakes for March 8, you can also show yourself there (although last year for the first time in many years this exhibition was not due to the damn war).
And thank you very much to the family for the support and the opportunity to do something for the soul. My husband calls my pastry things "toys", generously pays for them and tolerates them everywhere, including on his desk
In the meantime, in order to go to the exhibition, one must distract from considerations of practicality and just do-draw for the soul. For such gingerbread takes as much time as the people are not ready to realize and pay. Connoisseurs don't count, but you still need to find them!

Burunduk, gorgeous work! You just move by leaps and bounds !!! There are also exhibitions-fairs of works of masters. Earlier we had a regional "Rainbow Cat", maybe now they have moved to your city, look, they used to have a group

Elya_lug, Elechka, thank you very much, I will definitely look!

Burunduk, Tanya, and soon after all Spas. We usually have honey fairs in our city.You probably do too. So maybe you can settle down there with gingerbread, they are honey. Many people will see you there, they will take the coordinates for the future, and so they will definitely buy something.

[Vei]

and I want to show my first large-scale work for "Non-Random Cookies" - 70 gingerbread nesting dolls for a wedding in Russian style:


It was not me who painted the faces with food dyes, but a girl - a ceramics artist, the rest is all my icing.

Vei, Lizaaaaaaaaa !!!! How beautiful !!! And one gingerbread is very large - I want to consider!) How did you do the leaf-berries? Such a rich black with what? Yes, and red !?
How long did it take?
Like? What size?

(Yes, I like it, I like it!)

And now I'm playing a match game.

And one gingerbread is very large

I actually don't have any photos, it's all the property of the bakery, there is only one worker, a photo on a tablet, the quality is bad:

Vei, Liza, your eyes have already run up! Unsuccessfully trying to put them together.
And yes, details in the studio!

Super pretty!

Oh, beautiful! I just looked at the painting-paintings last night - Khokhloma, Gzhel, Petrikov painting. Beautiful but difficult

it's just no words, what a beauty! the scale, of course, shocked!

me too, as it turned out
well, in general, it was interesting, as it turned out, I can do everything)) I just can't simplify

about icing staining:
red fill was painted with red Amerikolor, black - black. The colors are good, naturally bitter. But in order for everything to be neat, you need to immediately put the drenched gingerbread to dry in the oven or under an incandescent lamp. We put it in the oven for convection at 50C. Then there is a gloss and pearlescent shine, which unfortunately is not visible in the photo.
The drawing was applied with liquid icing immediately without a contour on a dried fill, curls with a thicker contour.

now about the pictures

and in the bakery I tested the copycake in action - this is super weight, I tell you! I thought that it would be inconvenient to use it and that nothing would be visible, but it turned out that having set it up correctly, everything is convenient and works great. They say there are now small-sized analogs, it will be necessary to google and add to the list of Wishlist.

I do not argue, but I am already comfortable, gingerbread is not my main occupation.

Vei, Liza, well, in general, a masterpiece, I can't find words. A very large-scale work, bright nesting dolls, original. Well done !!!

Lisa, gel or paste dye? My super red gel does not give such a scarlet shade, it turns out some kind of burgundy. And it's great to dry gingerbread in a vegetable dryer, if anyone has

Vei, Lisa, amazing!

buy Russian strawberry, and when you knead red icing, make it to coral color, after a couple of hours it will turn red, and if you stir until red, it will turn burgundy, and this applies to black.

Kitty, I'll try, thanks!

this applies to any dye, not only Russian. Absolutely correct Kitty said icing does not immediately pick up color, so to get red, you need to dilute to coral (dark pink).
Amerikolor in this case was a regular gel. In general, their colors are beautiful, but the intense degree of coloration with Amerikolor always gives bitterness.

Lisa, very cool nesting dolls! Professionally! : bravo: How many to keep in the oven?

How many should you keep in the oven?

at least an hour, and preferably until completely dry. The main thing is to place them still wet in the heat, then a pearlescent shine and glossiness appears, when you see them, you can take them out and dry them in the air.

Liza, does the gingerbread itself dry to death in so much time?

Elya, it all depends on the humidity of the room. I have dry gingerbread at home and without an oven they dry in an hour. And in our bakery it is humid, so we put the gingerbread cookies in the oven even just so that they dry out and do not fold in our hands.Now it's raining here, first floor, so it's humid.

Lisa, thank you so much for such valuable information! : a-kiss: It turns out that it is not necessary to put each gingerbread in the oven after pouring, but you can pick it up on a baking sheet. And the first ones that flooded will wait, right?

no, quite the opposite, the earlier you put them in the oven, the better the shine. So you need to pour no more than 2-3 gingerbread cookies, and if you work slowly, then remove each one at once.

Vei, Liz, when I saw this bunch of nesting dolls on Instagram, I immediately thought, if only not all of these Liza got into the water! But if you like it, it's happiness! I'm very happy for you! It seems to me an overwhelming job for one person, but everything is so beautiful and neat! Stunned!

Liza! Already in the eyes dazzled! How bright and colorful they are !!!!!!! There are so many of them and they are also different! How long did it take you to paint them?

[How to translate a picture into a gingerbread with a pencil]

How to translate a picture into a gingerbread with a pencil
now about the pictures. It's simple.
Take the picture you like to fit the size of the gingerbread, just not the outer size, but the fill itself. Next, we need a pencil with softness B6, why is it so soft, I will explain - its lead is considered absolutely natural and conditionally edible, well, like activated carbon) Take the picture, turn it face down and shade the whole drawing with a pencil, then put the picture on the gingerbread face up, here , of course. you need to be careful, because the pencil is easily soiled, try to hold it in those places where, in fact, the coloring itself, the fill or whatever you plan there will be and with a ballpoint pen outline all the contours-eyes-pens. when you take a picture from a gingerbread, you will have the subtle contours of what you need on the fill.
well, and an illustration for the explanation, I attach pictures and gingerbread, as they say, there is not much difference, and the rest is finished as long as you want)
these are pictures from the internet


and this is gingerbread

if something is not clear, ask

Kitty, thanks for the educational program on image translation

I join!

Kitty, and thanks from me!

nothing at all, I hope it will come in handy

Kitty, Kitty, thanks for the idea of ​​transferring the picture!

Thank you so much!

[Vei]

Vei, Liza!!!!! What a beautyaaaa! I have already seen these nesting dolls on Tatyana's page and I thought it was your job !!!! You are a hard worker! Very neat and festive! real nesting dolls! I admire
Kitty, thanks for the MK, I just bought a charcoal pencil with a soft lead, though I didn't know that a simple pencil is also safe.
Gingerbread cookies copied from pictures are delicious!

Burunduk, Tatyana, super Red always gives a burgundy hue, if the icing is done in dark pink, then you get more or less red, but for a bright red it is better to use Red Red.

Here is a 3D gingerbread I got as a gift for a boy who is engaged in water polo.
Fortunately, my husband was engaged in this sport in his youth, he told me all the nuances
Gingerbread 32 by 22 cm, weight about 1.300, baked according to my recipe, poured it right after baking, but this time immediately put the base on a dense substrate

Lera, you are creative to the fullest!
The gingerbread is super!

Sahara, Leer, well, you gave, with a pool, the idea is excellent and execution! Our bee !!

Lera, Lera, did you yourself come up with a gingerbread - to make a pool? so cool! I would never have thought of this

what a funny gingerbread! And I made water and tiles as naturally, well done! so you see how circles disperse in the water

LeraThank you again for the recipe! Yesterday I opened the gingerbread, so I wanted it! Although I was sorry to eat it, I honestly admit, but they are so tasty that I could not resist. And soft, just lovely!

ledi,, Verun, yes, I came up with the pool herself, my imagination is racing with my hands. hats and icing gates ... it turned out, of course, not quite as I imagined, and the performance wants the best (even though it cracks, I can't draw faces) but the client was out
True, she still wanted a coach on the curb or sitting with his legs dangling in the pool, but I said that to bake, and even more to paint a little man bent in death - I do not dare

I'm glad you liked my recipe!

[Burunduk]

I have twins! Oh, how difficult it is to draw open eyes, even doll ones ...

Burunduk, Tanya, how cute and gentle they are :))

Burunduk, Tanya, curly cuties! I like my hair the most, what a painstaking job.

Burunduk, your gingerbread is something! Where have you been before? Why didn't she brag ?! very very beautiful! How I would also like to sit like this and create for my own pleasure. But with me it's the opposite, I started to deal with gingerbread because of lack of money. But yours cannot be sold in any way! They have no price!

Vera, Alena, Larisa and all-all-all, thank you!

Burunduk, your gingerbread is something! Where have you been before? Why didn't she brag ?!

Vera, because I haven't done them before! As the first one she created, she immediately brought
Girls, I need your fairground experience. Next weekend we will have a festival in the vicinity with an exhibition and sale of craftsmen's products with a mandatory master class, I want to participate. Is it realistic to prepare in 5 days? What gingerbread is better to make, with what minimum is it worth going, which is more popular? I'm not worried about the master class, I seem to have thought it over, but I will hear the advice with gratitude.

BurundukVera was recently at the fair, and she wrote what kind of gingerbreads were running, I don't even remember now. For 5 days I don't know, how is your pace then? I couldn't handle mine.
But it's a pity not to participate, hurry up!

Laris, I have already chosen several options, nice and simple to prepare, I think I can master 20 pieces per day, in total, in five days 100 plus those that I have already created (they are unlikely to be sold, but I need to show them). / I can't figure it out - is that enough to make the table look empty?

Tatyana, I participated in the fair. Will you have it in the shopping center?
Children are definitely needed! And it's better with cartoon characters. Children are the most popular.

Katya, will take place outside the city at a camp site. But the children will probably also be, so bunny bears need to be made, wrote down

Tatyana, I don't have a lot of experience, but mostly children take gingerbread from me. Better on sticks and with what is popular - Kitty, Fairies, butterflies for girls, Spiderman, Batman - for boys.
Adults rarely take Pts, sometimes the girls still have something cool. And as usual, to "cheaper"

Burunduk, Tanya, well done, found out about the fair. Now feet in hands and draw quickly. Try Lizina's Hungarian lacquer glaze, she looks very beautiful. You can make apples, raspberries and just put some strokes with icing. Spas on the nose, you can barrels of honey, bees

Thanks, like-minded people! If I have time, I will have time, but I must participate!

Tatyana, and you will conduct a master class? if so, who will participate? approximate amount.
I spent at the fair. on the sale of gingerbread could not be distracted. there were mostly children, but adults also met. worked simultaneously with 3-4 people.
at the same time she showed only the principle of work, and everyone drew what he wanted. some got up, new ones sat down. constant flow) mine were gingerbread blanks, envelopes with icing, gloves, wet and paper napkins. the cost of mk was calculated by the cost of materials. terribly tired. but on microns more gingerbread / blanks / sold than ready-made gingerbread

Natkamor, great, I imagined about such a set of materials! Thank you! I will conduct a master class, I think to give them something "wet on wet". I count about 15-20 people in total.

Tatyana, and what is the fair for?

A fair within the framework of an ethno-festival, musical groups perform and artisans are exhibited right there and give master classes. There will be many different masters - embroiderers, felters, knitters, etc. There will be gingerbread too - you need not lose your face! Eh, time is short ... At least two weeks are needed!

Burunduk, Tatiana, every time you surprise! Very pretty girls! It’s not at all to say that you don’t know how to draw. Good luck at the fair, be sure to tell us how it went.
Lisa correctly suggests that you can easily paint the gingerbread cookies right after baking.

Tanya, is this probably the festival "Z Krajina to Krajina"? There is no Ukrainian text, but I thought you understood. It has already passed with us. I think you need to hire assistants to sell. Because you will not be able to sell and carry out MK at the same time. And there will be many people. I did not have time to follow, so I only sold. focus on children's gingerbread. And it is advisable to separate for boys and girls. I was a little mistaken when preparing for the fair. I had nothing for boys. They were not interested in bears and cats. Well, do something thematic Ukrainian.

And I will also prepare for a new exit trade. There will be a song festival "Wreath of Slobozhanshchina". I was invited, they liked my wreaths for Ivana bathing. Just the leftovers will be used. But I already think something new to do. It is high time to start preparing, but the summer summer season does not allow to do gingerbread as you want.

Burunduk,
Flowers on sticks are also good. Best of all are white daisies. Top a bag and tie a green ribbon at the bottom. They are simple, but usually very popular. Put the bouquet in a heavy container (I have beer glass mugs for this - they are heavy, moderately high and with a wide neck). Boys can use airplane cars. Girls - crowns (if there is a form). Just pour it over. A little pattern and a couple of beads - beads are usually very pleasant
And for your beautiful and laborious, set an adequate price - so that you feel! Even if they don't immediately grab it, there will be a good decoration for the whole day!
And be sure to leave your coordinates. If someone knows how, you can do it in the form of small biochecks. First of all, I just printed it on a printer, cut it into squares, pierced a hole in them with a needle with a colored Thick thread, and then tied it to it - the whole family)))) And I also did it in the form of business cards - but in the confusion, business cards were somehow little ...
Another option is to buy self-adhesive paper for the printer (it is sold in our office supplies) and on it, too, tiny squares - rectangles with information to print, cut and glue on the back of the bags.

[Elya]

And I have a quick gingerbread. Made as a gift for a wedding. They invited me a couple of weeks in advance, but I didn't think to make a gingerbread right away. And the other day I was baking a honey cake and from the remnant I sintered a heart, a little crooked. Decorated the night before the celebration, hence the slightly incorrect consistency of icing at first, naughty hands due to a long break. Mine liked it, but I see huge flaws. Anyway, I decided to give in the hope that no one would pay attention to them.
The photo is also in a hurry already in the package.
Regular honey cake dough, Hungarian lacquer glaze, icing. The size is about 15 cm at the widest part. I dried it for three hours under a lamp.

Elya, I wish you more good reasons to train! Such a beautiful tradition is being born, I think the newlyweds will be happy
And the question is, how can we go without it - where can we get such drawings? Are you composing yourself?

Tanya, thanks for the wish, even less laziness and more time. After cooking-cleaning-2 children-pool-city, about the gingerbread is not remembered
There are a lot of gingerbread in this technique. Of course, I peeped at the saved photos, but I could not repeat what I sketched on paper. I seem to draw, but my hands are not doing it right. You need frequent training.
For example, pictures 🔗

Elya_lug, El, even though you criticize yourself (and therefore strive for the best), the gingerbread is very pretty!

Elya, Good heart turned out! Do not slander yourself, hands remember what they are doing. how did the newlyweds react? Liked?
My kids never eat the gingerbread I used to take for their wedding anniversary. They are taking care, they hung a couple on the wall.

and this is because you did it and you see every stripe and every curl
I liked it, just a little bit only the mesh is striking, that the square is somewhere larger, somewhere smaller

ledi, thank you for the praise, the newlyweds took it, they said thank you that it will be further I do not know. They were also presented with an interesting money tree and a talisman doll, so hand-made rules.
DaNiSa, thanks, yes, the mesh is difficult, although I like to draw it.

Elya, Elichka, great heart! And you haven't lost the skill at all, it's very hard to work with icing in the heat, it melts right in your hands, but despite this, no one will see any flaws, because it is beautiful and from the heart!

[Larissa]

Girls, and I tried to make a bottle for perfume, was not so difficult. I need to work on accuracy, I know myself, but I am in a hurry forever, I will not let one dry out, I grab hold of the other. So I want to see the result faster!
Well, here it is:

Larissa, well, you give vapcha here! I feel here after your masterpieces by hand
tell me what kind of gingerbread? I cannot understand from the photo, is it volumetric or flat and decorated on 2 sides?
well, how beautiful and elegant

Larissa, And what a cool photo! Larissa, you are in your repertoire. Your works are always different from others! The bottle was a success! and gold kandurin or paint?

Alain, I just had this question right away. Well, I think, if it is also voluminous, then I keep falling and not getting up !!!

Girls! This is a bottle, voluminous, of course


Decorate the second side, show the side view

aaaaa, Lyudaaaa, it's time for us to faint
I already fell

Alyona, move. I'm crashing down next to you !!!
Larissa, bottle, bottle !!! Maybe there and pour what you can?

ledi, Ver, it is paint metal. Bronze

Oh, so interesting! ) Did you get a bulky bottle from gluing gingerbread? Or baked in the form? And the shine from kandurin? Larissa, these are your gingerbread cookies ... non-standard, or something

Husky, Duc, if necessary, then pour!

Burunduk, yes, Tanyush, glued halves ,, barely found the pieces of iron on which I could bake ..

Larissa u, Larisa, thank you! Cool bottle and it's hard to guess that this is a gingerbread. We need to make a collection of different ones.

Larissa u, are voluminous curls on the side of the bottle icing or mastic? As I understand it, these curls cover the joint of the two halves?

Husky, yes, Lud, right, closes. And mastic

Larissa, very cool bottle! I need to take note of it, I somehow did not think that such things can be done, I wonder what size is your bottle and what did you bake it on? I am also in a hurry all the time, when I do something new, as you say, I want to see the result as soon as possible, there are a lot of jambs from here, but the trick is that only we can see these jambs

Girls, tell me, according to Lera Sahara's recipe, you can not only bake gingerbread, but you can also pour and decorate right away? Or should I be allowed to rest?

Lera wrote to me that she decorates them almost immediately. From my own experience, I can say that you can immediately cool down.

[Sahara]

A bit of children's gingerbread ... I wanted something new, bright, childishly stupid
Accuracy is absent, as always, hurry is a hindrance, it was necessary to make 360 ​​pieces in two and a half days, we have a heat of 37 degrees in the shade, after baking we barely have enough strength to fill, and with icing all the time, strain ...

Struck down! Outright !!!!!!!! It turned out both brightly and childishly! But not stupid. And neatness is present! Wow self-criticism !!! In 2 and a half days ?!

Blimey!!
what are all the gingerbread cookies bright, beautiful, baby
damn, a cat in a cage ... I just loaf from him
in general, your bears, owls, hares are excellent and in general I like everything

My God, and I whine that I will not make a hundred in five days! Lera, bee, well, you give !!!

Sahara, Lera, well, finally, some kind of energizer. So many gingerbread. And the heat, and not monochromatic, but how many colors! I would only mix all these colors for half a day. In general, I fainted and lay.

Sahara, Lera, thanks !!! Your kids are so bright and beautiful !! All animals are pleasant and eye-catching, so that minor flaws are not visible to anyone. Good girl, gingerbread machine

I am amazed at the quantity, speed, variety and quality of your gingerbread! they are wonderful
Lera, teach me !!! I made my nesting dolls for almost 4 days, well, full 3 days for sure!
what size are they?

yes, I also lay in a swoon, by the way, it's just some kind of supersonic speeds!

I'm in shock !!! How? Even if I don't sleep, I can't imagine. And yet they are all so pretty)))

girls, hello!

And a bit more))

[aelita1702]

and a little more, for children)

aelita1702, Victoria, My God, are these your gingerbread ?! I am delighted!!!

aelita1702, Vika, but with your gingerbread cookies everything is simple :))) MASTERPIECE !!!

I'm in shock !!! How? Even if I don't sleep, I can't imagine. And yet they are all so pretty)))
aelita1702, Victoria, very, very beautiful gingerbread !!!! I especially liked the letters and painted them beautifully and the shape is excellent !!!!
How did you paint large flowers (gerberas) on the name of Milan?

Victoria, I am delighted with your work! you are super clever and super master!

aelita1702, Victoria, what a pleasure to watch! How beautiful it is !!! Impossible! Emotions are overwhelming! Sing! I want to!!!!!!!!!!

aelita1702, Very nice! And very carefully done, with imagination!
I wanted to ask you - did you buy a copycake? I remember that, like, I wanted ...
I want to buy, otherwise the New Year ones with logos will go now ... I would like to speed up the process a little ..
I just don't know where to order, so that exactly what you need comes, otherwise it stands like a cast-iron bridge ... Maybe someone will advise?

aelita1702, your gingerbreads are masterpieces, I really like the background of the board on which you photograph

[aelita1702]

and a little more))

aelita1702, Victoria, unimaginably beautiful, bright, juicy, with fiction. looks very nice with cakes. Great fellow! I think you introduced the fashion for gingerbread names in your region.

aelita1702, Vika, what beautiful letters! I really, really like it! What size are they? and this is such a set of cuttings?

Fuh, not even words! Beauty !!!!

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, Tanya, were you at the beginning of Temka? there I made links to Vikin's gingerbread, which she had posted before

DaNiSa, Alena, I will definitely look after such and such announcement !!! But towards the end of the week, otherwise everything is in the works, like a bee

I already imagine what you will do there! next masterpieces

Duc is not there! For the fair, it is just simpler and more massive - you have to step on the throat of your own song Before I got bogged down completely, I made another little girl

[aelita1702]

aelita1702, the work is just a miracle, how good! and how did you write such a small text? is it really icing?
Larissa u, a beautiful bottle turned out.

Sahara, very original water polo gingerbread idea, well done!
Elya_lug, very cute heart, special thanks for the Hungarian glaze.

[and more about waffle pictures]

and more about waffle pictures
Girls, I need your advice. Who makes gingerbread with waffle pictures. Do you cover them with gel on top? If so, do they then stick to the bag?

or put them on a decor gel, but do not cover them on top, if you cover them, they need to be allowed to dry exactly dry, this is three to four days, then they will not stick, if you do not let them dry, they will certainly stick, and this applies to any pictures, even wafer-covered , although not sugar coated, they also draw moisture from the icing and stick to the package, the gingerbread should be dry to the touch, and the coated one should be smooth and glossy. if the waffle is not covered, it will behave like sugar, they need less time to dry, a day or two, depending on humidity. I write competently, there were precedents, it's good that I did not do it to order, otherwise I would be embarrassed.

Kitty, Thank you! And if the waffle is not covered, it will not begin to bubble over time? I compare this with a cake, once I did not cover it with gel on top and in the morning it began to bubble a little

I do this - I cover the waffle with decogel from the inside out, only without fanaticism, then I attach the picture and press it with an iron to align, in the end everything is smooth and nothing bubbles.
without coating, of course, they are not so bright. that's why I prefer sugar





but with a coating, the drawing is, of course, brighter


but also dry longer
sugar, of course, and brighter and more marketable)

Kitty, thank you so much!

Katerina79, not at all, I hope my advice is useful.

Kitty, my question has matured overnight!
You glue the picture with gel on the gingerbread already drenched with icing? Or without filling?
I planned without, I have a picture for the whole gingerbread. Sorry for a bunch of questions

Katerina, I would have glued without filling

Lisa, thanks!
Even I have a point! It seems to be such nonsense, but when you do it for the first time, pitfalls seem everywhere

Katya, I worked only with sugar paper, I had no experience with waffle, but if you lubricate it from the back side so that it does not bristle, then it makes sense to fill in icing under it, fill the edging and that's it. Although if you do not need a relief frame, then probably for filling.

In principle, I don't need icing there for beauty. This is a football logo and a picture in gingerbread size. I'm worried that she doesn't pull moisture from the gingerbread. It’s laziness in me that says: why cover it with an anse, if it’s not visible?
But it's kind of worrying :)

I always stick to icing, I haven’t tried it on bare gingerbread, I’m afraid that the picture will repeat the surface imperfections, the gingerbread is still not perfectly smooth, but you can try, I just don’t have such experience.

Kitty, Thank you!
I'll think

I don't like the bare gingerbread. Dark gingerbread shines through. But I have them with cocoa

Vera, Thank you! And besides transillumination, are there any disadvantages? My paper is thick. I am afraid that it may begin to bubble if moisture is drawn from the gingerbread. Or if glued on a gel, does it protect?

I tried three options. on bare gingerbread, on wet icing and on dried icing. I liked the third option. The gingerbread is smooth, the picture is easily glued. I also covered the decor with gel on top, and nothing stuck to me, everything dried up. Maybe the decor of the gel also depends. I got it so thick, I still diluted it with water. True, there are stains from the brush. This is a minus

Verunya, thank you!

And I glue it on a gingerbread drenched in icing (dried). For the same icing. That is, I put it on the reverse side of the picture or from a bag quickly along the contour (with an indent of two millimeters) and then in zigzags over the entire surface, or I quickly put it on with a small spatula and immediately glue it. I smooth the picture with my hand and after five minutes I draw the border. (I don't like it without it - the effect of a pasted paper still remains.
I didn't try to sculpt it on a bare gingerbread simply because I don't like the sugar paper itself, and in combination with the gingerbread it will still feel like chewing paper ...With icing, it somehow merges a little to taste and is not so disgusting
By the way, the first time I tried to drown the picture a little in wet icing (I had a blue one) - after drying, the picture was covered with blue cracks - craquelures))))). I had to tear it off!

Anastasia, thank you!

gingerbread by Natalia Rusak

[Lera]

I love dogs, but I can't draw them, but still I decided to practice. Do not ask the breed

Lera, the dogs turned out awesome !! each with its own expression
also says "I can't draw them"

Lera, a great multi-breed dog pack! In general, cool gingerbread!

Sahara, Lera, cool dogs! And I guessed some breeds.

thanks girls!

so funny !!! We liked it very much !!!

Lera, super-duper dogs! Everything is very cool, beautifully drawn!

Girls, thanks! since you approved, then we will be engaged in breeding))) But in truth, I only liked 2 of them.

Sahara, Taxi still needs to heap

LeraAnd there are no words for the dogs. And she also wants criticism! They are cool!!!!!

[Lera]

School soon, first sketches.
The dough according to my recipe, the size of the pencils is 15 cm, the rest are 7-8 cm.

Lera, class! You can study geography by your globe :)
The pencils are very colorful!
I also wanted to do something. But I won't get it all, and you just - and you're done!
Do you have all these gingerbread shapes? So many different gingerbreads!

Thank you, Katyusha!
In principle, this is an order, there should be 3 boxes with a set of gingerbread, the boxes are still drying, I haven't calculated the shape a little, now I'm drying my head, how can I put everything there
And I have a lot of forms, I put almost all my earnings in confectionery, I didn’t count, of course, but I think I have about 500 felling pieces, and maybe more, but I still can’t prohibit myself from buying more and more
This is how the boxes look like.

Lera, you are a YOUNGER! You create such beauty, despite the fact that you have a child at home. My daughter has grown up now, everywhere and everywhere she pulls her hands, so I only have gingerbread when she sleeps

Boxes - mortality!

Sahara, Lera, excellent boxes and gingerbread in them! it turned out well, you need to take a note

Liza, thanks! So I am the same when the child sleeps, or if the husband walks with him.
Of course, he does not climb to gingerbread, but he still does not give work, all the attention belongs to him without question.
On Easter, however, I did my best to help my mother - he corrected 6 spans of only eggs that had been filled with pens, more than 100 eggs were completely spoiled.

Lera, Sahara, so my gingerbread is also not strong. It's just that at that moment when I sit down to gingerbread, she is in the bath, and to the cat, and to the computer, and in the closets ... in short, everywhere. I can't do this

Sahara, Lera, otpad, as always. But tell me, you first outline the pencils with the fill color, then fill in, which means you have a bag of fill and a bag with a nozzle for lines prepared. And so for all colors? And if you need a little of some color on the contour, then do you make a cornet or also a bag with a nozzle? Sometimes I just need a bit of a certain color, and a lot remains, there is unused icing in the nozzle itself and the adapter inside and then I have to throw it out if such a color is not needed already. And I have a bad friendship with cornets. So I throw out the good. I can't get used to it.

Tanya, I circle with the same icing that I fill, usually I use the PME tip no. 2.
My whole table is already littered with small bags with colored icing, and if I still duplicate them due to their density, I will have to work on the floor
If you need quite a bit of some color, then I put it in a bag without a tip, I just make a small hole.

Well this is how you remember what you have, and what else is needed Probably already on the second round you buy

Sahara, your gingerbread cookies are very beautiful, I flipped through a lot of pages to revise your work

Well this is how you remember what you have, and what else is needed Probably already on the second round you buy

Uh-huh, I will have a sale soon

And I have another question: Where and in what order is all this stored and how to find the right one. I have 10 pieces of felling, and even such a bag, takes up a noticeable place on the shelf.

I bought specially 2 large plastic chests of drawers for this business, in each drawer I laid out thematic cuttings in boxes.
In the kitchen, there is also a similar chest of drawers with clearings, which are often used,

Sahara, Lera, and I have a question for you too. Tell me, after pouring the gingerbread, do you grumble with a toothpick? Or are you skipping this stage?

LeraYesterday I saw in my classmates! Lera, great idea and implementation too!

harmful78, Liza, basically I try to do such icing so that it spreads evenly without unnecessary body movements, I pour it quite generously close to the contour, but sometimes the icing is thick, in which case I just tap the gingerbread on the table so that there are no bumps. tubercles
:-)

sofiyka007to find only the works of a certain master, you need to go to his profile (click on the house under his nickname), and in the profile click on the button "Show user messages".

[harmful78]

I'll show you a little too, although next to the boxes it's all very pale


the color is a little distorted, it was planned to be orange like a sunset. And a couple more attempts to make postcards based on drawings





And on September 1, I only plan to make fives and bells. And maybe maple leaves

harmful78, beautiful fill! you still manage to create with children)) I have already abandoned everything, mine is like a whirligig, nothing can be done with him

harmful78, Lizok, cool idea, the hunter is so specific, he aims right at the duck that there is no doubt that he will hit the target, very realistic! And the kids are cool, but I don't know how to people. Absolutely. And I also like the bird. You know, maybe even the customers order not because of the bird, but because of the idea with feathers. I also want to do something like that, also some kind of bird, maybe like a firebird flying and like losing feathers.

[Lera]

Lera, Thank you. I liked the idea with the hunter, and it was simple to execute. That's just the background, ideally, you need to paint with an airbrush, with color transitions.

And yet, in spite of everything, for some reason my bird is popular. I made 4 more orders, one for a pink wedding. The last one certainly wanted pink



And I also offer everyone big hearts, but for some reason no one wants to take them

Liza, I also like the bird, the idea with feather-wishes is very cool, there will be time I will also try to do something similar))

Liza, postcards are very high quality! Well done!
The bird idea is great! I liked the box very much. Do you make or order it yourself?

Liza, Oops! what postcards !!!!!!! Both the hunter and the kids!

Katerina79buying at the fair of craftsmen. At first I wanted to do it myself, but then I regretted my time. The boxes are all the same for a fee, it's too expensive to just give them away. With the transfer of 100 rubles for one it turns out
