We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Tanya]

And I have paratrooper bears. The idea, to my shame, pulled from the Internet



Bears will carry advertising to the masses, they will represent me at a themed party in a nightclub

Lisa, bye. And what a shame. We all graze there. And now I have pulled the bears from you, so this is sho, it turns out shame in the square?

Tanya, Mona1, it was a little late, the day of the airborne troops is already the day after tomorrow

Lisa, congratulations on the transition to another level!
How did you find a way out to the nightclub?

Katerina79, themselves suggested I tried to advertise myself a little in classmates, in a group of local mothers. She invited one girl to make a gingerbread for the day of the Navy and posted there a photo of a gingerbread with a hunter. The girl said nothing, and the other who works in a nightclub called. In short, 10 gingerbread from me as prizes for competitions. And they voice my ads and hand out business cards. I immediately thought that I urgently need to make business cards now. And then I have anything, with a picture from the Internet

P.S. By the way, the theme with my gingerbread was deleted about an hour after writing. So "it was I who entered successfully"

Girls, how much do you have cookies?

[Tanya]

Tanya, Mona1, it was a bit late, the day of the airborne troops is already the day after tomorrow

That is right now and I have no time for him, and this is not the last day of the Airborne Forces. And I will come to you with a bouquet.

Tanya, a bunch of class!

Mona1, Tanya, cool bouquet! So colorful, bright. And how does it look in the package?

Lisa, this was not an order. It's just that I didn't have flowers for bouquets on my page yet, except for my daisies, so I baked blanks of different flowers and then for several weeks decorated them with one color or another, depending on what color was in work on that day. Now I posted on myself the type of options, what flowers I can make. But people usually ask: how much is such a bouquet, I want to order? I am already waiting with fear. Because for me this is horror, so many colors are at the same time in work.
But if anything, I will. And to pack - it's like I did with a chamomile bouquet. I cut out an isosceles triangle from cardboard - the size of the height and width of the bouquet, and then laid flowers on skewers in tiers on it and grabbed each skewer with narrow tape to the cardboard in two or three places, then the second tier, and so on. Then she covered the skewers of the lower tier with leaves. At the same time, all the flowers and leaves were in their own bag in size so as not to dry out. Well, then she wrapped this whole structure in cellophane, like living flowers. So I'll do it according to this principle, if that. But trouble is horror. I tell clients when they ask the price. What can I do just the flowers on the skewers you need, the total amount will be such and such, and if you arrange it in the form of a bouquet, then + 15% of this amount. Customers in most cases want a cheaper price, such as 15% for wrapping in cellophane? - We will wrap it ourselves. Well, they don’t know that everything is not so simple, and I’m glad that we don’t have to play with the design.

TanyaWhat dyes do you use?

Mona1, horror So much trouble! I assumed that not everything is so simple, but that it is so ... I saw your bouquet and the thought flashed to make such on September 1.
Now I realized that I didn't want to. In principle, I don't like making gingerbread on sticks: a lot of fuss. And with such a bouquet vapsche go crazy. I'll probably do as planned - fives and bells.
Five molds have already arrived, and the bell will be coming soon. I wrote it out at my beloved for a sale And New Years immediately too

ledi, Vera, I have Atekov gel, and the top raspberry-cherry rose is not covered with icing, and the gingerbread itself is covered with a Hungarian coating with the addition of paint. And here I have - dry Ukrasovskaya, called karmuazin

I also want to order. Elya advised

I had a set of 6 pieces, but I already wanted more flowers, and some were already running out, I ordered a set of 12.

Mona1, Tanyusha is a very colorful bunch! All the flowers are very neat, the roses are especially good!

[Lada2014]

Good afternoon, dear craftswomen.

Please tell me if you have had this with clients. We agreed on long-term cooperation.
She made gingerbread herself and they dried well, gave it to the customer's husband, he paid. And in the evening she writes that they are all broken and chose only 25 out of 60. What to do in this case? and what is the point for me to send a marriage, right.

Lada2014, even it seems to me that her husband dropped her gingerbread on the way, 60 pieces weigh a lot. And he is afraid to confess to his wife. Ask for a photo of all the broken gingerbread cookies, how they are broken there - cracked icing or even into pieces. Sometimes icing with me, it used to crack, if I transfer gingerbread in a package. But there are not 60, but a dozen or so. The package is heavy and the walls squeeze the gingerbread cookies, they can crack. And if in my box (from shoes) I bring it to a meeting with a client and there I transfer it to the client's box, then this has never happened.
In general, I see three options here: Either the client fell and the gingerbread cookies were thrown. Or the whole thing, they just want to throw it for money, or, when carried in a package, they could simply crush each other.

Lada2014, it depends on how you packed it.
You know yourself whether it is your fault or not.

Lada2014, and you just gave the gingerbread in a bag? Didn't show it? I always take out mine and show that they are intact (my friend set it up), then I just give it away. 60 is a lot, but I somehow gave 30 five's, they delivered it without problems, in a regular craft package. And they were 12 cm each, and even not solid, but with tails. In general, in your case, whether to return the money or not is up to you. I would return. Provided that they themselves come and bring everything back and hand over the gingerbread. After all, 35 gingerbread is not that much money and not such a huge amount of work. You can, of course, just give it up, in the hope that everything will continue. But cooperation, I think, will no longer work

Didn't he watch them in front of you? although my husbands also came to me more than once and I took out the already sealed ones. Not a pleasant occasion. Perhaps the man did not carry it neatly. This means that for the future, both you and all of us need to shift the cakes with customers, as Tanya does. Probably in order not to lose a regular client and this is the first case, I must say that I would return all the broken gingerbread. and for the future to give in hands

[Mona1]

Baptismal gingerbread

Mona1, stunned all by hand cut !! Everything is very neat, even, well done!
I suffered a little so then my husband asked me to make molds, I also choose on the Internet or draw myself, print it out to my beloved, he makes a lot of tin or can, I bought a lot too, but I use them less than my own ... the packages of forms are impressive and everything is small, something is always missing)))

[sofiyka007]

gingerbread cookies

sofiyka007, good gingerbread and some of yours is difficult for me. You see, you have both a baby and angels here. And I don’t do that, my faces are bad.

Mona1, I have dots eyes and a mouth with a brush, it's very simple to do this, that is, the craftswomen draw their eyes so beautifully as they are alive

sofiyka007, gingerbreads are wonderful! Very consistent with the theme, cute, gentle Did it seem to me or does the baby have bulging cheeks in the center? How to do this by filling, tell me, please!

[sofiyka007]

this is how my shelf looks like at the fair (summer in the park)

sofiyka007, I really like the pictures at the fair, and the gingerbread cookies, and how they are in the baskets. And the shelves are the organizers of the fair giving a stand like this, or is it yours too?

Mona1, Tanyusha, thanks)
at fairs only a plastic table is provided, I have my own wooden shelf for 5 shelves 40 * 80 cm and baskets, a large umbrella is mandatory for summer fairs

Yes, this is a complicated matter, you need to prepare everything besides the gingerbread themselves.

[harmful78]

The first letters in my life, please do not judge strictly. Based on the work of Vicki. Height 9 cm



And a children's set, also the first in life. I saw a similar color somewhere on the Internet. The size of the gingerbread is 7 cm, the leg is slightly larger



And it also turned out to be such a beast. Whoever guesses him is a good fellow

harmful78, Liza, first of all - a children's set: nice, especially the foot is super! Very funny and positive! Secondly - an animal, sort of like a hare-mouse, with the body of a hamster (just kidding)
And thirdly, I am just at this moment, looking for letters for gingerbread. Such that it is easy to cut out templates for them, I don’t have cuttings. Your letters are very cute, like without unnecessary squiggles. You can't tell me if these are the cuttings or if you cut them out according to a template. And a huge request to take a picture of these letters (at least 6 things in one photo, it is desirable that the photo is taken strictly from above, so that it is less distorted.) And throw me in a personal if you have time, okay? I'll make templates from them.
And your letters are very cool for the first, well done, I love daisies, and the letter with eyes is cool.

Girls, and maybe someone has a photo of their alphabet, in a normal non-side angle, I will also be grateful if you throw me in a personal. And then the brains are already melting. All Google rummaged through, then thin, then very florid, so I'm tortured with a knife to cut each one.

Tanya, I almost guessed the beast. I wanted to make a bunny from the next topic about the use of felling, but it turned out like this. Were still with pink ears and heels, so they generally looked like piglets. But the customer was satisfied, this is the most important thing.
And with icing I have trouble this time. Decorated yesterday, the night stood, but all burst. Chamomile was tortured to fill, the petals burst through. I cut out the letters according to the template, my friend drew.
I marked the boundaries of 5x8 cm, she entered letters there. True, on the letter H, you also need to make smaller notches on top and bottom of the letter - when I painted, the letter broke. It rained for two days just

And your friend only drew these letters for you, no others?

Tanya, look here 🔗 I liked the alphabet here, I became friends with a girl because of it. Usually I write out the forms from my beloved, but I don’t like the alphabet from her, I like rounded. There are no other letters tomorrow - the day after tomorrow I will click templates and send you

Liza, the letters are super cool, in the foot and the hamster there is a fill with a sin, but you yourself probably can see it. All in all a very good set!
I repeat, the letters are superetsky !!!

Vei, Elizabeth, thank you for rating

but you probably see it yourself

I see, of course. This time, I say, I have some kind of trouble with icing. By the way, today a parcel arrived with alter icing. I will get it and experiment with it

[Vera]

And I have a quick bird, a relative for my birthday
The first time I did it, in a hurry. I did not understand where the wings are, where the tail is. and also with a waffle picture a quick gingerbread, also to her. Glued on dried icing with decor gel and covered with decor gel

Vera, with a wonderful gingerbread fish, I really liked it. And in the bird, in my opinion, you missed a little with the belly. It was necessary to draw straight along the edge. And I didn't like the dots on the translucent parts. Better without them at all. Again

Liza, that's right, I'm not happy with her myself. I have baked it more than once and I have no imagination to decorate it, then we eat the gingerbread not decorated. It is not clear to me where the wing is and where the tail is. Thomas is unfortunate or I'm blind. It turns out she has a small tail and a big long one. Or, on the right, part of the wing protrudes. What do you think? And this one is also so hard, but I wanted to give something from gingerbread

ledi, Vera, and the truth is, there is something on the right, I didn't even see it right away. I think you need to practice on it without baking, I do that.Trace the shape on the sheet and mark with a pencil as if you were painting it with icing. Straight outlines and strokes. If there is someone you know who can draw, then ask him. They usually have more fantasies. Paint some shapes if necessary. Then, when an approximate picture is already in my head, then you can switch to gingerbread

[Mona1]

Girls, I downloaded awesome books on the internet. The author is Graham Leslie McCalam "4000 motives of flowers and plants" and "4000 motives of animals, birds, fish". This author also has "4000 patterns, decorative motifs and ornaments", but I couldn't find it finally for downloading, so that it is free and without any SMS and registration. But there in the first book - about the motives of plants, a bunch of all kinds of floral ornaments.

Mona1, and in what program are you watching these books? I do not open ...

DaNiSaAlena, I have one in PDF, and the second was zipped in the ZIP file WinRAR, I unzipped it, the daddy turned out to be like that and it has pages in jpg format. If anything, give me your email in PM, I'll send you my books. But they are more than 25 MB, so they will come in the form of links that you have to follow to download.

[Mona1]

Girls, and who knows where our Chipmunk got to? Burunduk, Tatiana, oo-oo! How did everything go? Let's tell and show !!

Girls, I'm mulberry! Remember, waiting - nice! : rose: Thanksgiving, I'm annoying and angry that only once an hour you can put a plus sign.
After the fair, my husband and I went to submit documents for a visa, we send our daughter to study, so I had to run
The fair was not very productive, but that is only if we talk about sales. First, a private event, for 100 people in total. Secondly, it was difficult to guess the theme, just the name "ethno-festival" gave few ideas. But I'm happy: for me, the very fact of the sale is already a whole achievement, plus they bought the gingerbread, even my two chorus girls are gone. Several people took contacts, met a very interesting girl, she also deals with gingerbread in our city. Well, my master class went off with a bang, there were 12 people out of 100 present, this despite the fact that other master classes were gathered by 4-6 people. I practiced teaching, the people were very pleased. So truncated is good! Well, a small photoreport:

There were also a few flowers on a stick and the daughter asked to make a bundle of flowers (with a hole in the center, on a string, like bagels).

Tanya, congratulations on the first fair! The gingerbreads are great! Are violets icing or mastic? And then painted them blue on top, is it icing (mastic) of this color?

Mona1, Tanya, thanks! Violets - icing, painted immediately. In fact, they are deep purple in color, the fotik is lying, the infection Mastic on gingerbread has never been tried, but in vain - over there, Larissa is so pretty

[Burunduk]

There were also a couple of orders, there were big gingerbread, thematic, I post photos. The customers chose the topic, it is associated with the sign of the zodiac, hobby or occupation. What can I say - I can't do continuous production! ... I don't even know how the girls organize themselves, but I filled the whole hall with gingerbread, bowls and small bags while preparing for the fair, and there were not so many gingerbreads. Still, I like one more, but "ta-daaam!" It's a pity, it's hard to make money on this.

Special thanks to Lera Sahara for the gingerbread dough recipe. As always, I did a lot of my own, but as a basic recipe, he helped me out so much - the order was urgent, so there was no time for dough or ready-made gingerbread. And so I kneaded, baked, cooled down - and go! The fill was perfect, no stains or cracks, so thank you again!

Burunduk, Tanya, well done! You go to the artists, beautiful gingerbread, and the latter are just pictures! Floral, healthy, beautiful and neat, seasoned, I would say, like a master with many shades of experience.

Burunduk, Tatyana, congratulations on the first fair!
She showed herself, looked at people, gained experience! It is a pity, of course, that she is not very crowded, only 100 people.
Your gingerbread cookies are very beautiful and neat
Did you airbrush the background on the gingerbread with the inscription through the stencil?

Tatyana, I am happy for you! I remembered myself as it was the first time! Congratulations! : yahoo: And you also have MK! And for your work there are no words to praise them! You are smart and talented!

Congratulations on your successfully completed fair stage! you have such a level ... adult category, in short, and made such beautiful gingerbread cookies! the last that showed in general pictures, especially the sea with a sailing ship
are big roses icing too? it's on gingerbread on the 3rd photo

Alena, thanks! On the sea with a sailboat the customer knocked out, I myself would not have dared to carry out such experiments on an urgent order, because "no talent, no patience ..." Thank her, she believed in me more than I myself. And large roses are the remnants of a wet meringue, wound them, dried them on gingerbread. Fragile only, be careful with them.
Elya_lug, Katerina79, ledi, girls, I will not tire of thanking for the kind words. Although I still study and study.
Katya, the background is really an airbrush, my husband gave me the jam for the day. But! I put the poured gingerbread cookies into the vegetable dryer so that the surface was glossy. So it is not necessary to do this under an airbrush - the paint does not lie flat, it is taken in droplets on the gloss.

And I really liked the horseshoe with a horse. In general, of course, everyone is very beautiful. Here are just awesomely beautiful! I have neither talent nor patience for this.

No no no! This is the belief that prevents you from trying! And if you try, you will faint yourself from what happens. And horses are my weakness too, even our family one, so - from the heart!

Burunduk, Tanechka, with your initiative! It is always pleasant to communicate live, to see smiles, the delight of your customers, with such a closed event you had considerable success, plus you had the opportunity to study the demand to some extent)))
Your gingerbreads are very positive and neat with lots of waste little things, of course, not for an industrial scale.
The soldier and the lion are very funny)))

Burunduk, Tanyusha, do you mind if I use your idea of ​​a horse in a horseshoe, just ordered for the horsemen?

If you don't mind! Even the Horseman is flattered - friend and comrade! Just show me what happened, huh? It's interesting!

Burunduk, Tanechka, with your initiative!

Lera, thank you very much!

Burunduk, Tanyush, and yet, I remember, he promised to give such a tiny master-classic in his method of drawing on gingerbread. I'm waiting here, I've already bought brushes, a palette.

In-in! So it should be with me! I'll do it next week. Girl or flowers?

Well, I want flowers, somehow I don't paint people. But I'm not here alone in the bushes waiting. If others want a girl, then I also do not mind. In general, you decide for yourself. Probably more correct to start with an easier one. Which is easier?

I don’t know ... It’s the same for me ...

I vote for flowers, because I don’t like to draw faces and don’t know how

both) and more) / s /

We will make tady flowers. But by God, there is nothing military

Tan, I'm for a girl

Burunduk, Tanya, I would also like a girl. Moreover, I want to see how you paint your face.

I am afraid that this will be difficult to show in the photo master class. And also note that almost all of my girls have downcast eyes - just because I don't know how to draw them!

[harmful78]

And I really liked the horseshoe with a horse. In general, of course, everyone is very beautiful. Here are just awesomely beautiful! I have neither talent nor patience for that. That's all she could - she built a quick-grubber. They wanted a heart for the anniversary, there was little time. I had to use a hackneyed theme - I drew a silhouette of a couple

harmful78, Lisa, it's a pretty gingerbread! Did you immediately cast the figurine on the gingerbread? so neat, smooth and the girl is straight in flight

DaNiSa, Alyona, yes, right on the gingerbread. There was not much time. It was an order from the series: when was it necessary? Yesterday!

[Lada2014]

Hello everybody.

Here are my first letters.

Lada2014, The letters are good, and the filling is very smooth. Only - don't be offended - but you have to do something with the photos. I noticed you are in trouble with this. At the very least, you should shoot in daylight. Read the thread here on HP for some helpful tips. Bad photos very much average out good work. Reduce it to almost nothing

Lada2014, the letters are good! I myself wanted to make such)))

Despite the fact that I'm trying to draw, I would also like to watch MK

Larissa, a gingerbread miracle, saw in OK

oh, you draw so well that I can’t understand. Did you paint it on mastic with paints or was it done with volumetric icing? probably all the same paints? beautifully!

[Sahara]

I have absolutely trouble with faces, so I can't do it for the life of me.
I tried to paint these princesses' eyes with gel paint, for some reason the paint curled up on icing, I had to do icing, and the eyelashes with a thin brush turned out to be painfully bulging-eyed



But I make Minions with pleasure, especially since we are now playing the cartoon in cinemas and the demand for them has increased, although they were named after ours too stupidly "Posipaki"

Lerochka, how many ideas you have! Gingerbread cookies with bees are so smiling, class!
You have super princesses!
And if you also draw eyes, it will be super-duper Although it is so very beautiful !!!

And I like a bunch of Minions, I just want to write: let's figure it out for three. )))

Sahara, Ler, and your faces turn out well!

And I agree with Larisa. You didn’t make a "patret", for doll princesses such eyes are just in the subject. Minions are really like real ones and bees are lovely!

Girls, thanks for the praise
I love making gingerbread for children, but still my faces don't work out, as I mentally imagine ...
I would like to get even a little closer to Vikin's works
I began to draw my mouths with a food felt-tip pen or a charcoal pencil, it turns out more accurately, but I don’t know how to draw my eyes. Soon Christmas I want to sculpt tender angels, but with such eyes it will not work.
Whatever the thin nozzle, on small faces, coarse lines are still obtained. By the way, about the charcoal pencil, I want to share - a very cool thing, and you can mark on the gingerbread and draw on dry icing, even white icing does not interrupt, as sometimes happens with a marker. The main thing is that the lead is very soft.

Lera, Lera, I noticed your gingerbreads in OK. I especially liked the bees! These are cool. Bunnies and pupae are also cool, but the first place is for bees. I also drew eyes for the first time. But I decided to draw with a food felt-tip pen. So I did it more neatly

Sahara, Lera, your princesses, like Vera's nesting dolls, are so cute! everything is on the level, no curvature, just nice to look at! and the bees just conquered!

[Lera]

Lera, is the charcoal pencil called charcoal? Is it sold in special departments for artists? And then the last time I translated the drawing, I was just exhausted. Made a wolf out of just wait. This time the idea was completely licked with YAM. A gift for another utility worker who does not smoke (a wolf without a pipe), plays the button accordion and guitar, loves the sea and runs the company. Like this



The size of the gingerbread is about 10 cm, the wolf is 15 cm. I drew everything with icing, the features of the face, or rather the muzzle, were drawn with a marker. I was afraid that I would ruin everything with icing. And all the same - I do not like to draw either a face or a muzzle

LizaWell, here the wolf comes first! Is it easier for you to draw small things with a felt-tip pen too? neatly happened!

wolf just fine! natural cartoon!

Now I found out that the wolf and the company have already been eaten. The men in this regard think simply: if it is edible, then you have to eat it. This women put on the shelf and admire. As with my Gagarin - I recently found out that he is still standing. Already 4 months

Liza, The wolf is very cool, you can't look without a smile))
And the fact that the men immediately gobbled up is nothing surprising, it takes them a little time to appreciate the beauty, the main thing for them is to taste this beauty. But then, they will tell everyone for a long time what delicious joke they ate.

[Lada2014]

Good day. I'm putting my smeshariki on trial.


She translated the picture with a felt-tip pen.

Lada2014, manually cut out? Their faces are perky, but the filling failed a little. Either it is thick, or just a little filled

Lada2014, Cool, positive! so I'm not friends with the filling now. Heat has a negative effect on icing. Liquid flows strongly, slightly thicker, does not spread

pretty smeshariki! so naughty! but it almost did not work with the filling, most likely it is thick and therefore lay in bumps

Hey. How do you need it? so that the icing would lie exactly. I was taught that everything would be convex.
Yes, I was engaged in knife carving, it turned out to be difficult for the first time.

Well, yes, that's right, it is convex over the entire surface of the gingerbread, like a uniform bulge. Maybe it was not quite successful, for example, it is clearly visible in the middle gingerbread in the bottom row. Maybe it's the light that falls like that, as if filling with hills on the surface. it can be, as it was written correctly - if the icing is thick and does not spread well. I, too, is thick, it does not flow actively, I shove it with a toothpick on the surface, and then I put the gingerbread on the table, take it neatly from both sides and sharply move it left and right, then up and down several times, so these mounds are leveled and it turns out uniform like a bulge, then I knock lightly on the table, so the bubbles are revealed, I prick them with a needle, in general, I have such methods, maybe someone else is struggling with it.
And the second reason was called - that can be a little fill, that is - these mounds are the uneven surface of the gingerbread itself and the fill is a small layer in order to level these nuances.
In any case, it seems so in the photo, and perhaps not everything is OK in the photo, but it's just a play of shadows.

[ledi]

My first nesting dolls. Haste is letting me down, and laziness. I wanted to make embroidery and was too lazy to paint the icing in red, it was a little liquid and this is what laziness leads to, it turned out "Treasury scho"

ledi, Vera, well, nothing, she is lazy !!! I would be so lazy! Cool matryoshka dolls! And the faces are pretty. And how to get a flesh color, what dye should be mixed with what color?

All that is at hand. yellow. red, orange, brown. By trial and error. But I've already mixed dyed icing with white. I'm too lazy to interfere with the paint. Multi-colored nesting dolls could be made. And I only have two colors. Thank you, Tanya!

ledi, Vera, straight awesome nesting dolls! I agree with the girls - everyone would be so lazy but how are the eyes? Blue is probably a marker, and white dots are icing? And what did you paint blush with? Don't worry about colors, two colors are classics. This is what a friend who ran the design department told me. Remember the emblems of large companies - beeline, mts, megaphone - everywhere there are two colors

Liza, Thank you! I agree it turned out! But it took a lot of time for them, I didn't know how to approach them: girl_haha: how and where to start. I took the red ones filled with completely red icing, did not take into account what was needed in different colors.
Eyes blue marker and white dye applied with a toothpick. I do not know how to use brushes

ledi, Vera, such beautiful nesting dolls! especially faces! this is straight matryoshka nesting dolls turned out

Vera, Verun, I liked the nesting dolls so much that now I want to make them too.
I tried, on your advice, to draw eyes with a marker, either I have a left marker, or hook hands ...
White gel does not want to go to icing, well, here's how to draw normal doll eyes? So that the squirrel and the pupil are colored?
Here black and other colored ones are normal, but white somehow crumples - curls ...
It didn't work on the Tumbler either, I had to drip a little and fade with icing, and then with a thin brush in blue, black and white. Well lips of course leave much to be desired
Leovchki can someone tell you what kind of marker they draw? And which white gel paint to look for? or can you breed dry white?

[Sahara]

Set for the girl's anniversary.

What cute! I like the baby, even without a face, coquettishly turned away, barboss! Maybe she is not Nastya, but Gulchatay? And also a cool giraffe, took it in the tabs! And in a month the little class!

Sahara, Lera, most of all you amaze me with the number of colors that you use! With much smaller volumes, I once again try not to suffer with different colors, and you always have a rainbow in every gingerbread. Bravo

Yes, Tanyusha, most likely Gulchatay))) But seriously, there is such a series of vintage girly dolls, they are all in old-fashioned platishki and in a large, wide hat or cap, and all have hidden faces. I tried to repeat one of these dolls, for me this is a way out so as not to fool around with faces)))
Liza, in fact, there are not so many colors, but more precisely 6: turquoise, peach, yellow, pink, blue and white.
The main thing here is to correctly combine colors so that everything turns out to be multicolored and rainbow.
I am always angry when I need to paint icing, and I grumble a little when clients ask for 10 gingerbread and all of them in different colors, they certainly don’t understand how much fuss it is. And most importantly, it’s not possible to calculate the volume of a certain color. That remains, then not enough. Now I make pencils to order, so clients ask why there are only 7 colors and is it possible to make 15-20 different ones.For example, blue-yellow minions, seemingly with a small palette of colors, but still 6 colors are used - blue, yellow, brown, white, gray, black.
So compare, this set and a bunch of minions

pretty set! Lera. why do you say that your faces don't work out? but the tumbler has such a lovely face, such charming eyes!

Lera, Lera, I already used a marker to draw white highlights. But I have a dry diluted dye

[no one has a picture with a Ukrainian Cossack in the store?]

Girls, no one has a picture with a Ukrainian Cossack in the store?
I've already rummaged through everything, but I need it urgently. I found a Cossack, but no girl. Desirable comic-comic young lady

Ira, a Cossack from the cartoon about the Cossacks. And they saw this gingerbread and ordered it.



But how to do such ugliness ?!

And what should be the Cossack?



And a cute little man

Ira! Thank you! And how did you find it. Or does the Internet show us differently?
The middle picture fits. I will finish the skirt.
If without a skirt, then now look for a Cossack to the waist. Otherwise it will be ugly, albeit on different gingerbread

I copied everything! But how can all this be transferred to a carrot
Ira, thank you very much!

Ira! Thanks for the help! But I don’t know what to do ?!
I spent the whole evening and that's what happened.Aunt is terribly fat
In general, sho horrible. These gingerbread cookies should go to Russia. Ordered for a gift, and these are the horror movies
And there is no time to remake, because I have not done everything yet. The eyes are not at all the same in the picture and the nose. Did it really matter?

ledi, Vera, and I like your gingerbreads so much !! True true! Aunt is not fat, she is just such a colorful young lady, shoots her eyes) and the Cossack is so cheerful! you're just a talent!

Tina, You probably did not go to the gingerbread Temko and did not see what masterpieces the girls make.

Ver, what are these Hollywood stereotypes? Why is the lady beautiful, then thin? Cossacks, by the way, are not thin, otherwise how will she "stop a galloping horse"? I really like the couple! The Cossack is such a nimble, cheerful, joker, and the Cossack is a kind of bereginia, the keeper of the hearth! 100 kg of pure love! Gingerbread is very colorful, class! The only thing is, try to cut the gingerbread directly on the baking sheet so that the shape does not deform.

Thank you, Tanya! But she still needs to remake her face. but how to draw it like in the picture that Ira gave me, I don’t know.Yes, this time I was drawn to gingerbread. blurred already in the oven. I put in little flour

ledi, cool gingerbread. I liked the pictures very much. True true! Some of them are real.

I calm down a little, thanks! But the face does not give rest
Can I re-fill and draw differently ?!

If we compare, what you got with the picture from which you tried to copy the young lady - you got it much more colorful and interesting.

ledi, Verun, I don't understand your panic ??? It turned out great gingerbread! And everything is in order with the face, and the eyes are super, no need to redo anything.
If we really cling, then I am a little confused by the not perfectly round shape of the gingerbread. But the Cossack with the Cossack is the very thing! A real hohlyatsky breed, as befits fattened on hohlyatsky lard: D
Do not invent anything, leave it as it is.

ledi, I also think that the gingerbreads are super! Colorful and just such a "kind" Cossack - as needed and let such eyes remain, they suit each other with the Cossack!

Vera, what are you doing! cool gingerbread! send me these)))))))

Vera, you have them like that ... here! found the word! sincere !!!

Vera, why have you flooded everyone with tears! What are you? ! Come on, stop panic!
Not "fat", but COLORFUL! Just what you need!
This is not an artistic image, but a cartoon of a kind.It is perceived this way

For the future, look at the oval of the face. Then mark the position of the eyes and mouth (their shape and size) - they are basic in the correctness of the face.

Vera, such collorite gingerbread! relax! everything is very, very worthy and beautiful!

ledi, Vera, a cossack with a cossack is just super !!! I am delighted))

Well that's it! reassured! If you. all, say that they are normal, so I will not redo anything! if I was sure it would be better, but I'm not sure! I already sat over them. Thank you girls! and what would I do without you!

Finally! I calmed down after 100 people said "good" with one voice!

Verunchik, here's a new image of a funny bbw

If necessary, then larger for detailed consideration
Click the square in the upper corner of the picture

Super BBW! I love!

Irina, Quite another matter! but how to draw it on a gingerbread? Ira, have you also corrected something at her temples?

Now let's compare

Yes ... Temple to the right. Just a little. And then the line (on both sides) went not sharply to the sides, but down to highlight the rounded cheeks.
And the chin was made higher and sharper, thus reducing the oval of the face.
Dasha's shoulder became visible. Visited a cosmetic surgeon



Vera, you outline the oval and details with a needle before you draw.
A lady with a sly squint. Therefore, we outline the lower eyelid here:



- in the middle position between the lines of the eyebrows and nose.
And then it remains to draw the eyes from above.

Ira! Wow! I put everything on the shelves! everything is so serious!!!!!!!!!

Verunchik, we are waiting for new gingerbread!

[Vera]

Vera, you mean just a picture?
like these ones?

[Liza]

Alter icing is a ready-made mixture for decorating gingerbread, I received it the other day. The first experience is not ideal, probably thinned it out for filling. Decorated the tank, so it went all over with hillocks. Everything flowed over the stroke with terrible force. And it dries more slowly than protein icing. But, most importantly, there were no blank spots, which are sometimes written about here. I was very afraid of them


In the end it turned out like this

Liza, and this mixture goes a lot? that is, it is more profitable than kneading yourself? Or did you buy this mixture for another reason?
you have such a beautiful handwriting, straight letter to letter! nice to read

Liza, Liza, did you buy it to cook faster, easier to cook? divorced and that's it? Gingerbread turned out!

ledi, I bought it because I'm madly afraid of raw protein. I am a veterinarian by training, and here we also have an epidemic of salmonellosis. And we don't have dry powder here, and sugar powder costs 35 rubles 150 grams.In short, instead of ordering powder and protein separately (I couldn't find it in one place), I decided to order this mixture. Although in it, besides protein, there is still all sorts of nonsense, but it is more convenient. The only thing, Lisa vei wrote that the mixture must be sieved, but I forgot. It was hard to write, the sugar was jammed with cornetics. And this mixture smells strong, there is a flavor. In short, it's too early to draw conclusions, I'll decorate a couple more games, and then it will be clear. And with this tank in general, the story turned out: the girl first wanted a bear with a heart and an inscription on it. And then she asked if it was possible to have a tank, well, I made a tank

Hi Liza.

How does this icing behave in business?

Lada2014, ok, only its consumption is MUCH more than promised. I read on Instagram that one kilogram is enough for 170 medium gingerbread. I tried all this on my inexperience and thought that at least a hundred kilograms would be enough for me. As a result, she poured 20 pieces with a pound and a diameter of 9 cm. Accordingly, a kilogram would be enough for 40 gingerbread. Here is such a gloomy mathematics And with the density for filling I just can't get used to it yet.

Liza, 40 gingerbread of what diameter?
If 4.5 cm, then with the same density you will fill in almost 80 pieces.

Thank you Lisa for your answer.
I will buy it. What to do then !!! Raw protein is already scary to work with.

And I do it with raw protein, it is still impossible to buy dry from us. When I did the icing, I eat one teaspoon myself and go to decorate. If I am not sick, then there are no harmful bacilli.

As in that cartoon: Can you sew 8 hats from one skin? Can!
Everything would be fine, but delivery to us is very expensive. For 5 kilos, I paid 900 rubles. Naturally, all this must be included in the cost. And our people are not very rich. The price of 50 rubles for a gingerbread is surprising to many, what can we say about more. Most likely, they will order less. There is only one thing that pleases me - I may be able to go to work in September

[harmful78]

Soon we have the Day of my beloved city of Donetsk. Since Soviet times, it has been called the city of a million roses. There was one rose bush for every one million inhabitants. It turned out like a gypsy, not quite what she wanted, or rather not at all what she wanted. well, so it is. The height of the letters is 11 - 11.5 cm.

Tanya, class!
I didn't even know that Donetsk has a lot of roses!
Very beautiful, festive and lovingly done !!!
Well done!!!

harmful78,
Mona1, Super! Although these roses look more like tulips to me.

Tanyawho is considering what. And I am the smoothness of the dough and the shape. Flawless and beautiful gingerbread color! Did you add coffee to the icing? For decoration and say nothing. Everything is fine and I see roses, the tulips have sharp petals (I’ll tell you a secret, I don’t agree with Elya) And where is the whispering smiley?

Vera, I didn't add coffee to the icing. I just covered the gingerbread with varnish. But not with coffee, but with black gel paint Ateko spread in yolk + a drop of water. And that's what's strange. I baked and varnished gingerbread the day before yesterday. They were not black, but very dark gray, almost black. I smeared a couple of layers on the hot gingerbread with a brush, then in the oven for 3 minutes to dry. After cooling, I put it in a container, for a couple of days they were waiting for jewelry there. When I put them in a container, they were almost the same almost black. Today I took out to decorate, but they changed the color, finally nothing remained of the blackness, they became just brownish, what kind of metamorphosis? This is the first time I used Atekov's gel polish. Before that, all the time I used dry paint from Ukrasa. For example, my Christmas cakes and mittens, Easter eggs, and everything else. Mom has had such a boot in the sideboard since the New Year - and even if henna for him, the color has not changed a gram, although it is not stored in the dark, has not faded. And here in two days. Horror in general. I just didn't have a black decoration, I decided to try the gel. Here's how it happened. It's good that this is not an order, but I just made it for a photo, right now I posted an advertisement, maybe someone will buy it. So such an experience may be useful to someone.
By the way, these same gel Ateko behave great for painting icing. So I once painted my military men with the same black. True, not black was needed that time, but gray, so I didn't add much.

ledi, Vera, well, I'm still that nerd, so I could be wrong

I use English dyes for painting, I did not feel bitterness. At least on a carrot. And for black I have Italian, a big jar. It also seems normal. I'll have to try icing next time

Amerikolor always tastes bitter, if not pastel colors, but add a lot of dye. The Atekovskys are apparently the same.

today in the topic Food colors, the girls discussed this issue. And yesterday, for the first time, I painted the icing with Atekov's dye purple and it seemed to me that it tasted bitter.It seems that I did not put much, I would like it even richer

[Burunduk]

Virgin, I made it! My firstborn, a master class on volumetric painting with icing here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=429652.0
Reviews, comments, suggestions - I look forward to it!
I painted this gingerbread:

Burunduk, Tanyush, thanks again! It's always interesting to know something new!

Burunduk, Tanya, thanks for the master class!
Very painstaking work! Looks great!

girls, thank you!

[Burunduk]

Burunduk, read MK. Damn, difficult! And, probably, a lot of time! I will definitely not be able to do it in two hours ... I must do it when there is no other work

And I will show my planets, which I got. I don't pretend to be super performance, but the idea may be useful to someone

harmful78, Liza, I liked Neptune the most. Nice effect. On the one hand, I would tint them, like the side in the shade. Well, yes, there is. This is definitely not for in-line production.

BurundukBy the way, I didn't even think to tint. Although it really was possible. And what, dye?

If it is dry, it is better to eat it. Or dilute with a gel and a flat brush from the edge to the center to make semicircular strokes (imagine the parallels on the globe). Just be sure to check the shade on a piece of paper before drawing on a gingerbread, and the brush should not be very wet.

and diluted with water or vodka?

Always diluted with water, but they say that vodka is better.

harmful78, Lisa, great planets !!! The most important thing is that it’s not some beaten Temka, I’ve never seen a gingerbread planet on the Internet. Dragged away in the bookmarks!

Liza, planets class! You always have something interesting!

Pluto is no longer a planet!

I go into this topic - and I admire you girls! And the planets are good, and the pansies! And before work Mona1-Thani and Vei-Lisa generally taking off my hat
Honestly, when you see any shortcomings, sometimes I do not understand at all, what are you getting at?

Exactly !!! Every time I go to admire ... no flaws - only I see some masterpieces

vedmacck, Tan, I've been here for a week, since New Year only as a gingerbread maker. And maybe I just sit over each gingerbread for a very long time, a teaspoon per hour, my production is not yet massive. And if I suddenly speed up, it will immediately reveal what kind of "master" I am. Therefore, there are a lot of really cool craftswomen who do it quickly and in such a way that you can't take your eyes off. And I have problems with the first item, so for now, so - an apprentice.

Katerina79, thank you, but it's people that I find interesting. It turns out that the planets on the sweet table were for a wedding. If only they said, I would have made stars on sticks (they ordered more stars, I will show them tomorrow).
vedmacck, flaws are still evident. I can’t get used to this new icing yet, on some planets the filling turned out to be watery, Saturn even leaked over the edge. And I have a question: why is Pluto not a planet?

Mona1, you are poor
harmful78, so everything is recognized as too small for the planet.

I read Here I am behind the times

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanyusha, what neat work you have! The letters are good and the roses are just super! I immediately realized that it was roses, not to be confused with anything. And the set with tanchiki is very cool! I still remember your New Year's boots, when I came to the forum, it was they who rushed into my eye, since then I have been dreaming of taking at least a share of accuracy from you
ledi, Verun, this time the wreaths are much better! I noticed them at OK, I like that the middle is not in the center, they look very good. Where are your hearts? What are you not showing here?

harmful78, Liza, the planets are cool, you painted them very realistically, the shadow would certainly not be in the way, but even so it’s very good, you can still shade with dry paint mixed with starch, our Larisa somehow revealed to us
I do this without an airbrush, and the paint is really applied without stains and streaks, I often draw blush with a cotton swab.

[Lera]

And I quickly made several such baskets and boxes-hearts as a gift to my husband's relatives in extreme conditions (at home repairs) to take advantage of the opportunity and pass on a present to relatives, though it turned out a little immodest, a full box from under the vacuum cleaner

The dough according to my recipe, a basket with a diameter of 17 cm, sunflowers 6 cm each, there are still sunflowers inside the basket (surprise,
caskets, or rather lids from caskets 15 cm.

Lerawhat wonderful sunflowers! and the basket is so nice and the gingerbread hearts are tender ..
where are the boxes? or I don't see them, wipe my eyes

DaNiSa, Alyonka, I didn't have time to take a picture of the boxes, and the hearts are the lids from them

Sahara, Lerochka, what sunflowers, wow !!! And who is that complaining about the lack of accuracy? I just got used to the screen, looking at the edging at the hearts. the left is cool, but the right one is finally like something airy and transparent. Straight superbly! Is that on the right you brushed the line? I haven’t tried this technique yet. But your lace breathes straight.

Lera, super-duper gingerbread, I have a dough question according to my recipe, where can I see that recipe? Thank you!

Tanyusha, yes, she shaded the arcs with a flat cut brush along the perimeter, only the icing was thick, it was necessary to make it thinner, then the lace would have turned out to be more airy, but this is my first experience.

Kitty, on the first page, our Alyonka threw links to all the recipes and interesting things in this topic.

Sahara, Lera, little basket - lovely sight! And what is weaving from? And how did you shape the basket? What's inside? Well interesting!
And at such gingerbread as your hearts, while I just look and sigh. We must force ourselves to try. How is it that such symmetrical patterns are obtained - is it an "eye-diamond" or are you copying pictures?

Burunduk, Tanya, thanks! The basket is baked on a salad bowl, inside under the lid are the same sunflowers, weaving with a nozzle according to the MK Lyudochka Husky.
I draw hearts by hand, patterns are arbitrary, what comes to mind, it's not difficult at all, after your embroidery,
you can easily master.

How did it happen? When did you have time? You don’t feel sorry for yourself! It's good if your relatives appreciate such a gift, just many take it for granted and don't see anything special in it. Good gifts turned out!

Now, Lera, fear has big eyes. I have such patterns and especially meshes with a magic wand to do! I will try, but after the weekend. I have a fair again + an order for a wedding cake, so for now I will use the proven effective techniques.
And don't be upset about your relatives, they don't even understand how much work, soul and time is invested in such a gift. They themselves have not tried, they cannot evaluate. And we are delighted with your baskets! I forgot to ask - what is the cover made of?

Sahara, Lerochka, you haven't shown us hearts for a long time! They are just super gentle! Very beautiful!
The sunflowers are wonderful!
Tell me, please, how did you do the middle?

Lera, I want to say: well, they are in the swamp! Don't give them more gingerbread, let them buy bagels in the store

this is still lucky for you, they can twist my face on the cake, expecting another monetary gift, because the cake is so, an application, and the gingerbread is just garbage. do not be upset, just draw conclusions.

Girls, thanks for the support! And really, well, them in the swamp ...
My husband recently received a call from relatives again, they said that they would know that these gingerbread cookies were so delicious - they would order more I say it was like a gift, not an order, but I made a conclusion for myself: that you will understand, I am sure that everyone had a similar incident either with clients or with loved ones. And you are all right, there are people who do not appreciate our work according to their worth, because they do not cook in our kitchen.,
So we run to our gingerbread Temka (like a cozy gingerbread house) and look forward to the ratings, looking for support, asking for advice. For all this huge thank you to everyone, everyone and deep bow, I love you all very much and value you
(including those who sit in the bushes)

Katyusha, Liza - she poured the sunflowers in the middle with brown icing and sprinkled with brown colored sugar, which she herself painted with Amerikolor gel paint. So I would like to try the next time the fill is made with dark brown ice, and sprinkle with cane sugar on top, it should look interesting. I tried to draw a mesh, I didn't really like it.

Burunduk, Tanya, the lid in the basket is a round convex gingerbread, with a diameter of a basket, I stick the flower heads on toothpicks into it, then I close it with leaves and at the same time glue the "flower bed" to the basket.

I looked like from space! It's a shame! They will also eat it in 5 minutes. Maybe I'm wrong, suddenly they will admire, but I thought badly about people

[How much icing is spent on gingerbread]

How much icing is spent on gingerbread

I read on Instagram that one kilogram is enough for 170 medium gingerbread. I tried all this on my inexperience and thought that at least a hundred kilograms would be enough for me. As a result, I poured 20 pieces with a pound and a diameter of 9 cm. Accordingly, a kilogram is enough for 40 gingerbread. Here is such a gloomy math

listen, and I measured it for 1 time, and how much icing does it take and found out that one protein is enough for 12 gingerbread cookies, about 11-14 cm in size. What do you think is good mathematics? How did anyone find out? it just became interesting to me ...

I have about 7-8 proteins per serving of gingerbread, depending on how much more painting is on the filling, on average, about 100-110 gingerbread 7-8 cm, or about 80 pieces 9-11 cm, and about 160-170 completely small on a stick, 5-6 cm.
:-)

[Vera]

ledi, Verun, this time the wreaths are much better! I noticed them at OK, I like that the middle is not in the center, they look very good. Where are your hearts? What are you not showing here?

As always, I am not happy (I am dissatisfied with everything, including myself, I do not have time to do anything, I am angry with myself, I can’t do what I love, everywhere and everything is distracting) and even less new, not invented by me. And now I thought, I will probably show you to hear the comments. Lera Sahara dough, size 14cm
13cm
9cm

Vera, a wonderful heart and a horseshoe! So what if the idea is not new. Not everyone can even repeat, how many times I was convinced of this. And I, girls, have a question. We ordered gingerbread cookies on an Italian theme and I don't know what color to paint on the peninsula. Which is in the form of a boot. Everywhere it is tricolor, like a flag. But the flag is in my set and so it will be ... What do you advise?

still doubts! of course, such beauty must be shown! very gentle and elegant! I just need to make a heart-shaped box for the wedding

ledi, Verun, you have completely deteriorated lately It's time to take up your upbringing
Well, what are you making up about hearts ?? Cool! Neat, interesting, rich! And the horseshoe is very, very cool! The mesh, though simple, is neat, even and looks very elegant!
When I saw them in OK, I even smiled; similar ones were already lying on the table, I even thought that Verunya was probably spying on me through space. I also decorated with beads, and our edging is a bit similar.
I won't say anything about gingerbread cookies with waffle pictures, you know that these are not to my heart.It warms my soul more :) You know, I was a little upset, they didn't even call to say that they received my present, honestly speaking, I plowed a lot, and It's hard with the child now, I have not slept for several days, and even this repair is dragging on ... I'm terribly tired, I practically didn't close my eyes since Wednesday ...
I thought I would please my husband's relatives, I made gifts for all, 2 aunts, 4 cousins ​​and their wives, 8 nephews ...
In the evening she called herself to ask how the gingerbread arrived, hoping for compliments to run into, but alas, everything they said to me was "beautiful, you are a craftswoman ..."

Hello, we arrived! What kind of mood is this ?! Is it possible to season food for people with such emotions? And why sharpen myself like rust, I don't understand - gingerbread are good, you find fault! You know, I like the anecdote so much: "A psychologist to a patient - how do you relax? And he answers - and I do not strain!" So I wish you the same - do not strain

Vera, you definitely have an attack of perfectionism!
It's handmade, it can't be completely perfect!
If you want a little criticism, then the mesh on the right of the horseshoe is almost even :) But in general, I have never done a mesh, for me it is very difficult! Well done, you are not afraid of difficult work!

ledi, Vera, and I already saw Sedna in OK and was stunned - how beautiful! And all day it was spinning in my head to write to you and make everyone show this beauty! I go here - and already there, well done! Very delicate, complex work!

[ledi]

planets are good!

ledi, Thank you! They also had stars, like that. Only without sticks



Size 7 cm, covered with golden kandurin on top. Although it is not visible By the way, there were a lot of opinions about the color of the stars: I wanted white, my friend said blue and pink, and the client wanted gold. As a result, I suggested yellow. I don't know if you liked it or not, my husband took it. And the peasants, in principle, do not care

And also my album was replenished with such a helicopter

[harmful78]

And I also have a children's set, a debut one, and dogs. I tried to draw the dogs like Lera's. Was worn out, to be honest



And I have already prepared samples for September 1. Everything is simple and without frills

harmful78, Liza, well, you are a quickie! Already done September! Pyaterochka is very cool, I'll take it to the piggy bank!
Dogs are funny!

Lera, so September is already in two weeks! I will join the question of the middle of a sunflower

harmful78, Liza, Sobatsyury are cool, I agree it's difficult to paint this and the helicopter turned out to be some kind of flirtatious, but on September 1, we agreed telepathically, I have a not so beautiful five in shape, there is no cutting, so I made the template easier to cut. What height do you have?
Everything else I have - also according to the patterns, as usual.

Figures 10 cm, only such were. And I decided to buy the five back in May. After hand-cut more than 30 pieces. And there was such

Oh-ho-ho ..., with these repairs and insomnia, I was completely worn out, the first call is almost on my nose ... Most likely, I will not have time for anything, God forbid, at least the orders that I have already typed ...

And they turned out to be the coolest. Anything interesting is not easy!

[harmful78]

harmful78, Liza, well, you are a quickie! Already done September!

And I, too, I am also a nimble, and I also have a five!

Vera, you definitely have an attack of perfectionism!
It's handmade, it can't be completely perfect!
If you want a little criticism, then the mesh on the right of the horseshoe is almost even :) But in general, I have never done a mesh, for me it is very difficult! Well done, you are not afraid of difficult work!

Tanya, Liza, girls, when you have time for everything?
Already prepared for September 1. Well done!
Tanyusha, I have only a small comment to the five. She is not quite like
(didn't want to offend)

Mona1, Tanya, you made the form! Well done! I wanted to, but then I decided it was unnecessary. I still have a postcard in mind, so that's enough. Are you manually doing everything again?

Tanya, order or sample? Neat, bright gingerbread! You're doing fine! How do you manage everything?

ledi, Vera, she just made it for a photo, but today there is only one client, a constant one, you can say, ordered them, and also the word DONETSK, which he needs 2 copies in roses, and my whole series of Paris, and animals, and a bunch of everything, so that I cannot come to my senses. This has not happened yet, so that I just baked, and suddenly they immediately took away, and a lot like that. Tomorrow I will bake everything that I don’t have ready-made - Paris, the animals, and those that I did for the doctors, they also want a set. Thank God, clients wake up after a summer like.
And I have another opportunity. I baked and baked here, verified my recipe, and was convinced that my dough, in addition to premium wheat, also contains a part of whole grain. And her last package remained. And I am here in grief - sho to do, we don't have whole grain right now. And then, quite by chance, it is discovered that this package says: Wheat premium. I'm shocked. And I'm surprised that these are my gingerbread cookies so delicious lately. The fact is that this is the company Healthy Line and the bags for different flours, as it turned out, are the same, and what kind of flour there is is written in tiny letters. And when I was buying flour, I grabbed packages of the same dozen, and then there was what was discovered. And I accidentally found out, looked at the package carefully, otherwise I could finish it and sit and cry and suffer, where can I get this CH flour. But I don’t need her, since such things are. Here I am, scattered from Basseinaya Street.

Tanya, Congratulations! It is always so joyful, primarily because you understand that your work and talents have finally been appreciated

Tanya, did you use whole grain flour or not? Or did you have all the packages with the highest grade? You would have noticed the difference when you mixed the two.

Well, I noticed that the gingerbread cookies somehow became softer, more magnificent and tastier. And I could not understand what the reason is. But still, I baked, even with this in mind, not completely at the highest grade. My husband once brought me 5 kg of flour, he got it for free, but it is so unattractive, kind of grayish-dirty-yellowish. baked something on it, it didn't work out well. I decided to add a little to the gingerbread. It started two months ago. In general, it turns out 300g of wheat, 100 of the one that at first was CZ, and then instead of it went the package of the highest and another 130 g of this inferior one that my husband brought. So, as it turned out, I have been baking for two months on 400 g of premium wheat and 130 g of incomprehensible (either it is CH, or not even the 1st, but the second grade). But it turns out great.

[Liza]

My "Italian" gingerbread


The Colosseum, however, somehow did not go. The fill on it all cracked, so I took it off and filled it again. And she cracked again And since it was almost 2 am, I waved my hand and left it like that. It will be more realistic, the ruins are all the same And the inscription on the bag needed a different color, brighter so that it was

Liza, I like everything. Only around the country can the background be blue and light green, as on the map. Or is it too late?

Vera, it's already late already All is given. But the country didn't bother me for some reason ... I didn't even think about making a background ... This is what I always say: photography draws out all the flaws. In reality, it looks good even without a background. Well, or is it I already got used to it

Lisa, I didn't say he looks bad. It just seemed to me that it would be better

Listening, then the bag could be made blue. And it would be great! And then I somehow got hung up on these three Italian colors, and then when I put it in a box, my eyes already rippled with red

[Tatyana]

Girls, I brought more gingerbreads, I'm doing here for the fair. You need to compose business cards, share your experience, please, is it worth it or not to add photos of work to the business card? And in general, what is the best way to do it?

Tatyana,: girl-swoon: No words! What are you doing with us ?!
Go to business card topic https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/forum/index.php@topic=418547.60 maybe you will find something useful for yourself

Burunduk, I think SUCH works must be on a business card! These gingerbread cookies are your calling card (sorry for the tufts)

ledi-Vera, harmful78-Lisa, thanks
Yesterday I tried drawing on a gingerbread, without applying a relief. After Icing, I made a fence, flowers, and painted trees, a house and a meadow. Then I realized that those who covered the roofs with thatch were putting up fences, not fences, such a joint ... But on the whole I am satisfied with the experiment.

Burunduk, Tanya, what a positive job. It is interesting to look at everything down to the smallest detail, just like a 3D image, a panorama. And what size is the gingerbread itself?

Tanya, this one is 14 * 18 cm. I also wanted to make a border for him, but the family rebelled, no need to say. Do you think you can leave it that way?

Burunduk, Tatyana, well, wow, you're getting ready for the fair! So it is necessary to prepare for the exhibition!

Katerina, thank you, there are such plans. I understand that we need to make cute gingerbreads simpler (and cheaper, respectively), but I can’t force myself, I’m postponing everything for tomorrow. The flow is bad for me, I cannot organize production

Burunduk, Tan, no edging is needed, otherwise it will distract attention to itself, especially since the rural motive, everything should be without unnecessary pretentiousness, and everything is very laconic and organic.

well, great, less trouble

Burunduk, Tatyana, well, I am always delighted with your flowers, poppies have conquered forever, now I think what to repeat - en. tina eyes or poppies?
A gingerbread with a country house is above all praise, I had to copy and enlarge to admire my fill!

Sahara, Lera, Thank you! Repeat both

[Mona1]

Girls, what do you think: what to put inside the pot if you make a gingerbread bouquet? Like this
🔗
At first I wanted foam, but now I think it's too light (I have plastic). And the pot will turn over

Liza, like a girl, they put a round gingerbread in there and stick into it

Mona1, Tanya, in a gingerbread basket - yes. And here is a gingerbread ... I don't even know

harmful78, Liza, well, who's stopping you from sticking a gingerbread in such? Of course, it is wide-shaded, a large-diameter gingerbread will work. I also thought a lot about such bouquets, looked after the container. It is also necessary that the gingerbread should not be made too huge, and at the same time, that the bottom area is normal, so that it does not tip over, and therefore that it is heavy. And I came to the conclusion that the optimal capacity is a ceramic mug. Of course, the bouquet rises in price, but you can offer it. The clients agree to pay - well, that's great, and besides, the person to whom the bouquet is intended will have a souvenir as a keepsake. He will drink tea, and his relatives, and us, gingerbread makers, with a kind word to remember.

[Katerina]

I will show my first gingerbread for a year.

It's very nice that little kids watch our old cartoons :)

Girls, I sit "in the bushes" only because I have to "AHHHH !!!" write, but you do not want to clog the topic.
But here it is impossible to keep silent - Katerina, Winnie the Pooh

My grandson also loves this cartoon - but he is almost two.

Katerina79, Oh what Winnie the Pooh, and Piglet is finally a cutie! I took it to the bookmarks, so wait for plagiarism! ))) Katya, did you trace the figures on the gingerbread or scratch, or the eye-diamond, and the hand itself leads exactly like that?

Tanya, thank you :) I pierced with an awl, the eye was a diamond, this is not about me :)
And about plagiarism, I'm the first! I make gingerbread cookies according to the pattern from your baptismal ones :) Wait with a report and thanks !!!
vedmacck, Thank you:)

Katerina79Katyusha, I already wanted to scold you for not showing anything, but here is such a beauty !!!!
I love Winnie and Piglet! It turned out very, very cool! It immediately became warm and light in my soul!
What a pity they don't order this
Katyusha, what is the size of the gingerbread?

Sahara, Lera, thanks :)
To be honest, I really like Winnie and Piglet myself
I don't remember the exact size, about 10 cm Winnie.

[How to set gingerbread on sticks in a flower pot]

How to set gingerbread on sticks in a flower pot
Girls, I bought a plastic flower pot, alas, the gingerbread bouquet does not want to stand. Styrofoam didn't help. What to do? The gingerbread did not help either, the bottom may be curly because of this. Everything falls, I already ripped off the gingerbread while trying to build everything. I wanted to give my friend a birthday present. Try to bake a vase or something.
Lera, how many flowers did you put in the vase? They are still not small 9cm, they probably won't stand in a vase

Vera, I saw at the fair girls in the apple stuck gingerbread on a stick.

Vera, I saw in the rollers that granulated sugar is poured into pots for weighting.
I didn't make vases with flowers. There are usually 7 flowers in baskets.
I still put crumpled paper in tall wicker baskets, tamped small lumps of corrugated paper or thick napkins tightly.

Lera,; -D What is this?
Katerina, I don't even know what to do

Vera, use rice))

I'm going to try now
No, it won't work. The pot is extended towards the top. Gingerbread is not easy, everything is crumbling. Yes, and inconvenient to carry, everything will fall apart during transportation. Probably you need to make a bouquet like Tanya Mona did, or bake a vase from two halves and fix the sticks with icing between the halves. and whether it will stand is also a question. I have very large flowers. One weighs 50 grams

Exactly! I wonder if you can sprinkle it with something so that it does not crumble later?

Put boiled (joke)

Vera, there are such round glass balls, children play with them ... we have them green and blue usually. They can be poured into a vase, heavy. I hope I wrote it clearly

Ah-ah-ah .... so this is a flat vase, there are only 3 sticks, it didn’t fit anymore, so I strung several flowers on one skewer, but they were small.
I thought you weren't asking about gingerbread vases. Ver, to tell you the truth, red tape with these vases, after baking it is difficult to fit all the details so that they match perfectly and so that the vase stands steadily, I would not bother with it in your place.
Try to fill it with something, I would try to pour sugar and stick a plump, high-diameter gingerbread pot so that it was right next to it, you can even bake a little more, and then just adjust it on a grater and stick it 1.5-2 cm lower the edges of the pot, and then stick the gingerbread.
Maybe your sticks are too long?

I have such glass balls, they are too smooth and spin all the time, sticking skewers do not hold normally.

Natasha, I doubt that there is such a thing in our village. And if I don’t find anything, there’s no time for that
Lera, Lera, here and in rice sticks with flowers spin under their own weight. They are spinning in my hands when I tried to make them a bouquet. Sticks with flower 30 cm

Ver, to tell you the truth, red tape with these vases, after baking it is difficult to fit all the details so that they match perfectly and so that the vase stands steadily, I would not fiddle with it in your place.

Oh, how did you come in time! I also strained over time. And they need to be baked and decorated.
I wanted to bunch a bunch of flowers, purely symbolically, and it wasn’t there .. So there was Tannin's option

Vera, taste sugar, then gingerbread and stick it in like that, sugar is denser and heavier than polished rice, in the end glue the gingerbread with icing to the pot and sticks, when you stick, drop and fix with icing in the gingerbread.

Something has already disappeared. And 30 cm is a lot of sticks with a flower? Can be shortened. Pot 13 cm height. It was necessary to take a more direct and narrower one. Would have held up better

Vera, well, of course, they spin under the weight, if the gingerbread is large, you have a task: to make the pot heavier, to fill the void so that the sticks can fit for the bouquet, and not bunch together in one bunch, make the sticks static.

I look toward sugar and apple, or sugar and gingerbread.

30 cm, and pot 13 ??? And you still want them not to spin?
Crop of course! Just do not chop hot, cut off 5-6 cm first and see what happens.

So when I measured it, it came to light that something was wrong. Sugar can be moistened to harden, right? Will dry just before Saturday

Vera, maybe put a fat piece of mastic? And the skewers from the flowers with glue from SMS grease and stick into the mastic, it dries up and nothing should fall out anywhere. And you can dispose of unnecessary mastic residues Take some piece of old mastic, if you can't knead it, warm it up in a micron for 5 seconds

Natasha, it's also not a bad idea, there is no need for mastic in the freezer. Thank you! The idea comes to life

And nevertheless, shorten the skewers, they are long, shorter will be more reliable

Well, now calm down and do not panic, everything will work out for you, you need to see the flowers from the pot, and you don’t need that the flower is half full, as usual, the flowers look out of the flowerpot.
In short, go try it.
Oh, while I was writing, Natasha gave practical advice

We need to revive the flowers, restore them: girl_haha: the stamens-pistils were crumbling. And there are no leaves yet. Girls, thanks!

Girls, about the cookies in vases or pots. You can use foam balls, they come in different sizes, are sold in the "Artist's shops" and other shops for creativity. True, they are not cheap, the larger the diameter, the more expensive. They are used to create cupcake bouquets. One cupcake weighs at least 100 grams, the cookies are smaller, which means they are also suitable for cookies. This is how they look.

Another idea appeared, prompted a photo in graders - to use a mini pumpkin in a vase. Just try to find it first.

[Lada2014]

Girls.

The photo is not mine and I took it on the Internet. Tell me these beautiful droplets are made with a nozzle. Have you done such drawings. For a long time now I have dreamed of doing this and Something does not work out.

Lada2014, in short, you squeeze out a fat droplet, then weaken the pressure on the bag and pull the tail, at the same time completely stop pressing on the bag / cornet. Somewhere here, girls wrote in the subject, but now I can't find where

Nansy, Natasha, and what is the consistency of icing? Soft peak? Or a little thinner?

I did the main icing, a soft peak which

How to do without dyes-dust?
Easy, here is MK, in short, powdered sugar and dyes.

Mona1, Tanya, read diagonally

but I didn’t figure it out! there is no translation?

ledi, Vera, you can translate the page through a translator. I didn’t, so I ran my eyes. There are many words of lyrics, only a paragraph is sensible: take powdered sugar, drop a dye and scroll in a coffee grinder. Store in a box. Use for toning gingerbread.

Ale! I didn't guess about it myself, Semyon Semyonitch

[Vera]

Girls! Here are my bouquets! First and last probably! I decorated the gingerbreads faster than I made these bouquets. I will describe the process after work

Vera very beautiful bouquet! Are the pieces of wood skewers? How to fix them correctly so that the gingerbread does not break?
Sorry for so many questions, I have never baked gingerbread, but I really want to

How beautiful it is. Well done.

ledi, Vera, your bouquet is delicious !!

Vera, the flowers are super !!!
The bouquet turned out to be very cool!

ledi, Faith, beauty! How did you end up fixing the bouquet in a pot?

Vera is a very beautiful bouquet! Are the pieces of wood skewers? How to fix them correctly so that the gingerbread does not break?

Thanks for the praise! Yes, these are skewers. Fastened in hot gingerbread and hold well

Natasha, thank you! Strengthened as you advised! I tamped mastic into the pot, poured icing near the skewers, and sprinkled it with coconut on top. It seems to be holding up well! Thanks for the advice!
But the bouquet in the film was collected with difficulty. And she glued it onto cardboard, but the scotch tape came off, the gingerbread cookies are peeled off from friction. As a result, I packed it separately, rolled it with tape and then wrapped it again.This is not an easy matter!
I have already presented a bouquet in a film! At the neighbor's DR. Was touched and I think pleased!

Girls, thank you all for your help and praise! Nothing would have happened without you!

ledi, Vera, what a bouquet! It just looks gorgeous!

ledi, Verun! I am delighted with your lilies! It turned out incredible! They turned out to be real!
How did you draw the petals themselves? Did you fill it with pink on wet or did you paint stripes and dots on dry icing?

And how did I overlook? Excellent lilies, the best jellied lilies I have ever seen.

My friend was happy! Said she won't eat

Vera, I really liked your lilies, smart girl!
and that we only have gingerbread icing decorating everything, no one cakes? Such a muffin in the cake theme (((and I, after another study ...

Thank you Liz! : friends: On September 5, I have to embroider the cake with icing, I'm already sausage

[ledi]

ledi, Verawhere are you lost? Tell us about your battle with the flower pot and the victory over it

In the meantime, I'll show my first wedding. We got lost between Italy and the vegetable garden. There were also the same ones on sticks. And more stars in blue with white polka dots, I forgot to take them

Hi Liza. Such beautiful weddings. Well done.

Liza, weddings are good! Very neat!

Liza, Well, you have something new every day! You won't be in time!

why is the tailcoat blue?) look great !! and how is the sequence on the tailcoat? white and then blue? and white is only a triangle?
I did it in black, so I have a little from black to white / how to say it correctly), I tried to creep a bluish-black shade /. can paint. nevertheless black aggressive and put it quite a bit. interesting your experience

I answer all in order. Due to the time difference, the dialogue does not work

Natkamor, the tailcoat is blue, because the wedding was in blue and white. I also made blue stars with white polka dots, I forgot to click them completely. Nothing leaked anywhere, not even on the stars. Although I have had this before and more than once. And God forbid, I drank the dye, almost suffocated. I immediately thought that I asked for a cheap price
Katerina79, I already bought the molds. So far, there was a sale on my favorite site. I took myself a mitten, a sock, a Christmas tree, a snowman, I will also make a bell. Maybe I'll mature for a monkey, I will order, but it is so difficult to paint that it will have to be expensive to evaluate. Time is the most precious thing in such a situation. And people need something simpler. In general, it was difficult to stop when choosing. I wanted the 2016 shape, the house (which is flat, not voluminous), and the polar bear ... And I really want voluminous balls, like here Kitty showed them, but I can't even imagine what to bake them on and where to get these forms

[How and what is better to bake a gingerbread basket]

How and what is better to bake a gingerbread basket

And I quickly made several such baskets and boxes-hearts as a gift to my husband's relatives in extreme conditions (at home repairs) to take advantage of the opportunity and pass on a present to relatives, though it turned out a little immodest, a full box from under the vacuum cleaner

The dough according to my recipe, a basket with a diameter of 17 cm, sunflowers 6 cm each, there are still sunflowers inside the basket (surprise,
caskets, or rather lids from caskets 15 cm.

Good afternoon, Lera.

How do you bake a basket. Looked at all your posts. And you write that you are baking on a glass cup.
Today I tried it and all the dough just stuck to the bowl. What to do.

I baked on a ceramic bowl and sprinkled generously with flour - nothing stuck. try not on a glass dish

I also baked on ceramic. Wrapped it in foil, and sprinkled the foil with flour. Everything was fine then filmed

Lada2014, the girls have already answered your question in principle, but I will add that when baking on a glass salad bowl, I grease it with butter and sprinkle it with flour.

Well, craftswomen, - golden hands! when do you have time? the gingerbread cookies are all wonderful! We especially conquered the lids-hearts on the boxes, and the sunflowers are wonderful, and the school gingerbreads, and the Italian ones and a bouquet of lilies, and the wedding ones - well, everything is beautiful, they put everything in their hearts, and the landscape and flowers-embroidered shirts are aerobatics! what are you all clever!

I also had Vinnie, but American, but the Wolf and the Hare are ours)

and here is such a bear)

KittyAt first I thought you were sharing pictures with us! And then she checked that it was a gingerbread. So it's not fair: girl_haha: for artists, you need to make a separate temka: girl_cleanglasses: I'll go and see

you are not objective to me, I am not an artist, I am just learning, thanks anyway!

Kitty, you have amazing gingerbread !!!
You draw so well! There are simply no words, everything is very beautiful!

Katerina79, thanks, but this is just a fill, for me personally it's amazing - these are complex techniques for girls, that's where the talents are!

Aaaaa! How great! Both drawn and cast - super!

[harmful78]

Take my patience for the gardener


I painted everything in the evening. And what, girls, did I see in the morning? Spots on icing. Where, why - it is generally unclear. The gingerbread cookies lay for a day before decoration, there was no rain. The humidity is high, but I decorated it in the rain and everything was fine, but here the main thing is not at all. It did not depend on the density of the filling: there was also where it was thinner - on a cucumber, and where it was thicker - on a carrot. In short, I don't understand anything at all in this life.

harmful78, a pretty vegetable garden. Cabbage is only indistinct. Did you dry the gingerbread under the lamp? Try it, maybe there won't be stains.

Lizok, these are the right spots. In my grandmother's garden, I also saw such spots on cucumbers and tree leaves. In general, some kind of garden pest, or maybe acid rain, fig knows it, but your spots are very similar. And I like garlic the most. And a tomato with a carrot, and a pumpkin.
By the way, icing is probably not according to my recipe, right?

Tanya, no, this is generally an icing from a bag, already ready. About stains - I appreciated now, too, I will say so to everyone. And I liked the eggplant and pumpkin the most. Just understand: pumpkin and carrot from one icing. The pumpkin is fine, the carrot is spotted. That, today I was still finishing the set (the word LOVE and hearts), it is in white and green tones. So, everything that is green - everything with spots. I flooded everything yesterday. you can see the stars formed like this yesterday Nothing, I'll say that it should be so - it turned out like marble

Elya_lug, I saw cabbage on YAM. I really liked her, I mixed the color for her for so long, but it turned out that horrible as a result. My friend, when she looked, also first of all said that cabbage is garbage

It's a shame for icing, especially the purchased one. But not very noticeable, as it should be!

[ledi]

And to be honest, I am already living the New Year with might and main. I sit to myself, dreaming about him ... I think what kind of gingerbread I will bake, how I will pack, what and how many boxes I need to write out. In short, in my dreams, I Only decided not to make a monkey. I do not like them, vile animals

Lisa, what are you planning to do? I can't get my thoughts together. It would be necessary to buy molds, but I still won't decide which ones
You're done with the gardener's kit! The jar is cool :) Spots do not spoil the cucumber :)
But something needs to be decided ... When you dry them already flooded, maybe you put them on the windowsill, and there is humidity from the street.

And I will make my mittens and boots, I really like it, especially since I haven’t sold them yet, because I’ve only started selling since Easter.
By the way, I glued the boxes myself for half a day. They turn out pretty pretty. But it takes a long time to glue. I decided to make patterns for different sizes, so that if necessary, then cut and glued them according to the template. True, you have to tinker with the window. And then often clients ask if there is a gift box. If you are ready to pay for it, then I will. Although, I think that rarely will anyone take. I looked in the internet - gift boxes. The horror of the price. I don’t know how much to ask, Schaub doesn’t scare everyone away.

I also dream, but I don't know what I will do. and I will make a monkey. You can't tell people, I hope for orders. Year after all monkeys, sheep went well! Others may not be taken, but a symbol, sacred! So think about it. I've already made a sketch for my husband

ledi, Vera, I'll take a picture tomorrow. True, I recently took pictures, somehow the photo is not at all the same. Gingerbread cookies come out better in the photo than boxes for some reason

I looked in the internet - gift boxes. The horror of the price.

Is it problematic to write out with the Russian Federation? Or expensive? I just write out with YAM. There is a box on average 50 rubles, plus filler. Delivery to me is also expensive - 400 rubles somewhere - so I order more, then I just scatter the delivery and it turns out one box of about 100 rubles. Now a package is on its way, it turned out to be 1,200, there are 15 boxes and a filler. Count it, maybe you will succeed fine. The most important thing here is to find money right away and invest it. And then the boxes still diverge. How many times has it been: make an order, ask for a package. And in a day or two I'll post a photo of some kind of gingerbread in a box and people immediately ask for a box. Now here's another reason why I'm thinking: I found out that discounts in the box store start at 5,000. I'm sitting now, calculating the benefits.

P.S. And this time I even ordered plastic cubes so that I could beautifully pack a basket or a gingerbread house.

Lisa, this is expensive! We have gingerbreads cheaper

ledi, Vera, I understand that is cheaper. Not 20 rubles each. Even if it's 20! Sometimes there are times when a box is needed. For a wedding, for example. But this is for sets. But for one gingerbread, this of course will not work. By September 1, I really wanted boxes for fives, but there are no cheap ones on YAM. Found in our city for 12 rubles, but they are sold as much as 1,000 pieces

And I have wedding babies 7cm

Faith, beautiful hearts, and how many! In the photo, they seem to be much larger than 7 cm. But on the red ones, what number of the nozzle did you use, the leaves are so large. Or it just seems that way, because the gingerbread cookies seem to be more than 7 cm.

I tried 0, and then switched to 000, but these droplets are not very visible. You still had to squeeze out a larger droplet to stretch it. That is why they look thick
