We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies

[Vei]

VeiLiz, I'm cultured over your iced cake. neymoverny work. and drew directly on a vertical surface? I can imagine how difficult it is. skillful fingers.
girls who have not seen, take a look. That's great https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=424742.0

Lisa, tell us what you learned in the course

Well, a few months ago we discussed this extrusion technique - in English piping, where the effect of a bas-relief is obtained. And now I just lost my fear and self-doubt. I want to create! Now I am revising various bas-reliefs so that I can simply reproduce the technique without tying it to a gingerbread or cake. But the desire is just unbearable!

Vei, Elizabeth, the learning outcome is great! How can you do such miracles ?! And just recently I thought: where have you disappeared?

[Mona1]

And I promised to show my boxes

Mona1, boxes are beautiful, what did you do? And where did you get the windows of this size?

Made of glossy cardboard, I have a stock. I cut out the windows myself, I also have plastic, cut out a little more than the size of the cut openings and pasted them from the inside around the perimeter onto double-sided transparent tape.

Mona1, Tanya, the boxes are super! Your gingerbread cookies in such boxes will be even more beautiful!

Mona1, the boxes are cool !!! I can't force myself to do everything!

Larissa uLarisa, that I also looked askance at this cardboard and plastic for several months. It seems that everything is there, but some kind of fear, then she took herself by the scruff and did it. But it's a very long time in truth. But I came up with the idea of ​​making patterns for different sizes and shapes, so as not to calculate and draw every time. I took a pattern, circled it - that's all. But even with a pattern, it still turns out for a long time. I hope they won't order often.

here, this moment interests me, I have, but 10 * 10, and where to get a bigger size, I don't know. The horses are beautiful.

Kitty, I have plastic in a roll, the width is more than a meter. This has been lying around since Soviet times, she once bought it for her needs, and now she doesn't need the leftovers. When I was looking for all sorts of MK in boxes on an Internet, people made from this:
Cellophane for flowers is the simplest and most affordable. Not plastic, of course, but it will go to the extreme.
Transparent folders - see stationery
And in places where students sew their theses, there are some sheets of thin plastic (for covers or something)

I overcoat it too, ugly. Alas. not even ugly, but not solid, cheap, in short.

Mona1Does the box just have a lid and a window in it?

Yes

TanyaThe boxes are very beautiful, but you can immediately see that this is very troublesome business. I always feel sorry for the time

[Mona1]

Mona1, Tanya, the boxes are super! Your gingerbread cookies in such boxes will be even more beautiful!

Yes, two hearts for one good person will go tomorrow in these boxes. Gingerbread hearts, size 20 * 20 cm. The first - did not work out very well, and the second is not so good.

Mona1, Tanya, yes, on the first, the drawing turned out to be indistinct. I didn't even understand at first glance what was there. And the second is wonderful. Everything is so horse

The second super-duper turned out! Agree!

Mona1, Tanya, I like both hearts with horses! It seems to me that the first one is even more beautiful, it is somehow mysterious and unusual ,,,, personally to my heart such a simple abstract

[harmful78]

Take my marble letters. Height 8 cm



They also had hearts attached

harmful78, Liz, cute letters! Sooo liked the colors, nothing brightly poisonous, pastel colors, very expensive, lovely roses!
It seemed to me, or spots ??!

Yes, Larissa, YES!!! These are spots! I immediately remembered yours: it never happened and all of a sudden ... It's the same here: it never happened: due to inexperience, and in cold weather, and in the rain ... And then suddenly we got out. It’s good that people are inexperienced, I gave it away and didn’t say anything. Such marble for a beryl wedding. By the way, that is why the letters have such a color - I tried to get closer to beryl

[Mona1]

Horses in apples. Size 10 * 12cm

Oh, Toko noticed right now that she forgot to stick the dots between the apples.

Mona1, such awesome horses !!

thanks girls!

[Burunduk]

And I have no beasts! I have a nerd as usual

Burunduk, Tatyana, very beautiful gingerbread! stylish and nothing more!

Yeah, everything talented is simple. Violets are lovely! True, until I clicked to enlarge, then this round gingerbread - I thought it was a shell, these yellow stripes confused me. Well, then I already considered it.

Thank you, girls. The idea is not mine, I don’t remember where I looked.
This is what I like about these flowers - you can screw them up in advance, dry them and then simply attach them to the gingerbread at the right time, it turns out quickly. And they are stored for a long time!

Tan, and the petals of the violets are the Apple blossom nozzle?

yes, Tanya, she is

I recently bought it. Her and a rose. I haven't tried it yet. I also have a carnation.

So you have everything. Only I cut the parchment into small squares, and I plant each flower and dry it on a square. They are perfectly removable when dry, and the squares can be reused

Are you sculpting these squares on a carnation or sticking on a toothpick?

Good evening, craftswomen.
If anyone needs it. I found an apple blossom nozzle at a fair of craftsmen for only 160 rubles. The gingerbread cookies with violets are very cute.

And these squares - you sculpt on a carnation or prick on a toothpick

On a carnation - I run a wet finger over it, and the square is attached without getting wet.

If anyone needs it. I found an apple blossom nozzle at the fair of craftsmen for only 160 rubles

Of course you do! Lena, throw a reference at us, please

Good afternoon, Tatiana.

Here is an apple blossom nozzle for 160 rubles.

🔗

Thank you!

[Burunduk]

I'll bring more kids. She was a repeat girl, but she made babies for the first time.

Burunduk, Tanya !!!!
this is amazing! I'm amazed!!!

Tanya, violets, of course, are good, but little ones are just a name day of the heart! Bravo!

Vei, Kitty, thanks Only for a kid who dabbles in foam, his eyes played)))

Burunduk, Tatyana, I couldn't eat such splendor. Class !!!

Musenovna, Katya, I need to eat, I'll do it again!

Burunduk, oh what little liachki, pusi musichki! Thank you, Tanyushik, set me the mood for the whole day!
And by the way, how to eat this? I try not to make people, for two reasons - the first, this one, what well how to eat this - first I'll bite off a leg, then something else. My mother even eats my animals with a creak. And the second is the eyes. A stumbling block for me.

Burunduk, Tan, incredible charm !!! The baby wants to kiss the ass (and bite), so sweet !!

Burunduk, Tanya, the gingerbread cookies are the most wonderful and sweetest !!! Such cute !!!

Burunduk, Tatyana, just great gingerbread! The kid is generally cool! I have long wanted to make a similar lyalechka, but my hands never reached it. And now I don’t know if they’ll make it or not, I’ll go to work in a couple of weeks. And I don't even know how to proceed. I really don't want to throw the gingerbread

Mona1, Larissa u,
Tan, and if you make such gingerbread in a set, then baby carriages-bottles-toys can be eaten, and this one can be left as a keepsake

thanks girls! so nice to read such reviews!

And I don't even know how to proceed. I really don't want to throw the gingerbread

Liza, you won't be able to quit your favorite business. Well, at dark nights, when else ...

Tatyana, so it probably will. I'll work until the new year, I'll take a couple of weeks off there, and then we'll see.

And today in my classmates they asked me: do I give master classes? I wanted to answer that I myself am still learning

Here is an apple blossom nozzle for 160 rubles.

Linen, the size is not indicated there, but it looks like this is not a nozzle for icing (pretty little), but for cream flowers.
And here's another - does it seem to me, or does white icing have some transparency on pink hearts?

And today in my classmates they asked me: do I give master classes? I wanted to answer that I myself am still learning

You will study all your life, so if there is a demand, do not refuse! Well, that's my opinion ...
And we have a double case! A coordinator from Rostov wrote to me ... and we are gathering a group with her on October 17-18, God forbid, we will collect, and then we will roll back this program:

Burunduk, Tatyana, just delicious gingerbread! I have no more words, looking at your work, only fainting

DaNiSa, Alenochka, thank you tremendous! If my teaching career goes uphill - who knows? Maybe I will appear in your land
The program was supplemented with gingerbread in a simple technique, since my online classes show that it is so difficult to draw flowers like this.

Yes, I might not have refused, but I could not answer, as is often the case in classmates, the reply message "can only be written by friends" and they forgot to add me to friends. And of course you will collect your group! There are so many people interested! Yes, and Rostov is a city of a million, not our 200 thousand population

Burunduk, Tanyush, can you make so many gingerbread in two days?

harmful78, Lisa, and who says that they should be thrown ?? Just what do you earn from them ??
Another thing is the forced fuck at home and at the same time earnings. You have a specialty, a permanent job, do not lose it. And gingerbread they are always with us!

Burunduk, Tanya! To die does not get up, but what is it. And it's good that I'm sitting. I faint right in the chair. Well sooo cool! I'm really proud of it, we're practically countrywomen. )))

Taaaax, where do you get these swoon mice? I need to portray such a mulberry, I definitely can't find a few words to express delight
Burunduk, Tanya! Conquered completely and completely !!!

Larissa, I share your doubts. Therefore, these gingerbread cookies are the maximum program, and I will prepare more options using the same technique, but with fewer details. The fact is that the group will presumably be a motley one - some have experience with icing, others do not. So so that some people are not boring, and others have a hard time, you will have to do 2 in 1.
Tanya, Tanya, I will go to you for the mood! So you praise nicely

Sahara, Lera, Thank you! And the gingerbreads according to your recipe

Burunduk, Tanya, I do not advise you to break up a group, it will be a mess.
By the way, cornflowers are something !!

Do you advise? .. Okay, I'll think about optimizing the process ...
And cornflowers - yeah, I like them the most I recently overcame my horror before Photoshop, learned to adjust the background, and now - feel the difference, like gritsa ... Plus, my husband bought a new camera for the upcoming European trip, now I'm playing with manual focusing
In Germany, by the way, we will also

Burunduk, Tanya, and I saw an announcement on the upcoming courses in OK, and the gingerbread, well, just yours. Now everything is clear, congratulations))

Burunduk, Tanya, do you want to bake?
No no! We draw on ready-made gingerbread, moreover, I will pour them myself under the program of the first day. And on the first day, the participants themselves will fill in the gingerbreads that they will decorate on the second day. They will just have time to dry well. That is, the emphasis is on decoration, not on baking.

Vei, Liza, thank you! Really recognized?

Burunduk, Tanyusha, congratulations on the start of your teaching career!

Burunduk, Well, thank God!!! I'm really scared!

Katerina79, Katya, thanks! But the group still needs to be assembled

[Lada2014]

Here I am sharing my gingerbread ...

Lada2014, Lada, good gingerbread! The hearts are not big, probably the size? These empty openwork in the fill is a rather painstaking business, given the size of the gingerbread. And BMWshki, just like, but for men a good idea, carried away in the tabs.

Lada2014, Flax, pretty hearts! And on the logo a little icing is not enough. It is not clear what size this whole thing is, it seems that small, on small ones it is difficult to do this whole thing neatly
Yes, and you have to do something with the photos. I myself do not have a camera. Nothing, you can take more or less decent photos both from the phone and from the tablet, read in the topics with us

Lena, you have got cute hearts, what size is it? but it seems to me that in the end, the thickness of the glaze is the same as that of a gingerbread. Maybe it's better to do not a double fill, but a white and a color side by side?

And BMVshki is a very good idea, only it seems to me that the icing was thin, so the letters blurred in places.

Lisa, hello.

On WWII, the letters were cast on the file.

And hearts measuring 10 cm. I just saw these on the sample. And in the same place are the windows in which the icing is visible, therefore the double fill.
I think, and you can do it without internal filling.

Lada2014, Lena, the gingerbread is good, only the double fill looks too voluminous. Or maybe it's just in the photo :)

Hi Katerina.

Maybe it doesn't look like that in the photo.


but it seemed to me so beautiful, and if you look from the other side .... such a jumble of icing .... so thank you all for a fresh look.

[Burunduk]

I'm all in shabby

Aaaaa! Really like! Only I will not grasp the laws of style - what makes a "shabby" gingerbread?

Burunduk, Tanyusha, I will explain: you look, it seems to be tattered, but chic !!
But seriously, these are details and colors.

Soooo, you need to study the question! Work with prototypes, as my friend says

Larissa u, Larissa, very stylish gingerbread!
Did you fill in each piece separately?

Katerina79, but did not fill in at all! Plaster!

[ledi]

Hello everyone)
I could not find a separate section where you can put a lesson on gingerbread painting, so I'll add it here
If anything - correct me.
I hope this lesson will be useful for you and I did my best)))

Today I will show you how to paint a gingerbread in the shape of a helicopter.
To complete this lesson, we need:

1. Gingerbread in the form of a helicopter.

2. White thick glaze, green and yellow liquid glaze.

3. Zip bags or disposable plastic bags with Ateko circle nozzle 00 (for thick glaze) and 2 (for liquid).

4. Toothpick.

To prepare liquid glaze, you will need 1 protein, about 180-200 grams of powdered sugar and lemon juice, about 0.5 tsp. For thick icing, simply add the required amount of caster sugar to the liquid white icing until it is the consistency you want.

Use whatever gingerbread cookie recipe (sugar, vanilla, etc.) you like to make the gingerbread. Please do not ask for the dough recipe, I don’t give it. Hope for understanding.

Well, let's get down to painting

Enjoy your viewing!

If you have any questions - ask, I will be happy to answer.

I hope that this lesson will be useful to you, especially for those who want to master and learn how to paint gingerbread.

Tanya, thanks! The only question. What attachment (number) do the drawing of the helicopter itself? Before pouring. I hope I asked clearly

Ateko circle 00

Oh, and I even shimmer through No. 1. But my gingerbread is more convex

ledi, Ver, even more prominent !! ???
It's so hard to fill! It didn't seem flat to me in the video.

[Gift set]

this is my Gift set total size 70x44 cm.




ps do not pay attention to my appearance, since I am after two sleepless nights.

very beautiful, just no words.

Vei, Elizabeth, you can just go crazy !!!! Pretty woman! And on such a scale yet
And the temple is what is called piping?

Vei, Lisa, AWESOME !!!
Such a refined and painstaking work !!!
Well, this size does not fit in my head at all!
It’s probably on him that you had to stand with your back bent all the time, you can’t write this while sitting ...
WELL DONE!!!

I'm in shock ... Great job !!!
Py. Sy. So this is what you are, Lisa!

Vei, Lizochka! I am absolutely delighted and out !!! Insanely beautiful and neat! The mesh is so even! How could you make such a complex painting in such a size! The temple is indescribably beautiful!

And the temple is what is called piping?

yes, I consolidated the passed material with MK Calvin Chua)))

Well, this size does not fit in my head at all!
It’s probably on him that you had to stand with your back bent all the time, you can’t write this while sitting ...

it's you, Katya, to the point. Back and eyes after this ejection order))

So this is what you are, Lisa!

I am so only after 2 nights without sleep or food. And at normal times I am different - beautiful
Lerochka, thanks! I myself did not expect that there would be problems because of the size, but I couldn’t reach it while sitting, and while standing on the weight my hands trembled, so I knocked about this way and that. But I got such great pleasure !!!

Oh, this is the main thing! Beauty - by itself And what a clever girl! The work is so good that my hands itch. But I don't even know which edge to approach

here is another larger photo, to be honest, it was even difficult to shoot, it did not fit into the frame without deformation:

Vei, here it is YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It is everyone's dream, of course, to have at least one such job!
Liza, a rare smart girl and golden hands!
What?!!! Standing ?? Oh no !!!!??? This is work !!!
I'm in complete shock, in short !!

Liza, eyes have run up. Either looking at you, or gingerbread. You are cute even after sleepless nights! Well, I have nothing to say about the carrot! Everybody said everything! No words! Generally struck! There are only a bunch of questions! How did you decide on this? how did you draw the lines, in parts? Why didn't you sleep, urgent order?

Lizonka, it's great that you added a bigger photo! Pleased! I already increased and put on 2 glasses, and so beauty and grace to look at and admire!
Standing on weight ?? I'm shocked, it's so stressful! I don’t imagine ... I’m hunched over here sitting, so my back falls off and nothing helps to relieve the pain, but bending over while standing, and even drawing without emphasis ??? M-yeah ...
You are my hero

P. S.
And the photo you are still beautiful! And by the way, there is a portrait resemblance to your avatar

Liz - Gingerbread
PySy - you look so much like your avatar! As they wrote from you (well, or from your great-great-great -... grandmother)

Great job ... awesome! I would like to consider more and more ... Is there a chance photos of the temple from which this work was done?
And the avatar, yes, it was not in vain that it was chosen by the Eyes in general, super similar - the same large, the same bend of the eyebrows, even the expression is similar. A little below the type of face is different, but the similarity cannot be dismissed! Wasn't that you, for an hour, posed for the artist?

Lisa, gingerbread is a miracle!

Here is a photo of the temple:

and this is a working moment)))

Vei, Liza, BRAVO. You are a bee! A hard worker in the sense

Vei, Lisa, this is something incredible! this is Mastery! and what a beauty you are! and also clever, golden hands!

Vei, Lisa, this is just amazing !!!!!!

Liza!!!!!! This is incredible! It's simple - no words just! Super! Incredible beauty!
Such a scale of work! And most importantly, carefully! Handsomely! Super! Super! Super!!!!

And you are pretty! Not to say in a fairy tale, nor to describe with a pen! And I am very glad that I met you!

Vei, Liza! How did you bake ??? This 35x45 was almost the size ??? And your dough? And this openwork ?! What attachment did you draw with? Probably five zeros?)))

the size is exactly that, everything is correct! dough from Lera Sahara, I was ordered in 3 days, I did not have time for anything else, and I like this recipe very much. Just all the dough is gone, well, there are still a few small gingerbread cookies left.
Painted with PME nozzles No. 1 and 1.5.

[How to dry gingerbread pouring in the oven]

How to dry gingerbread pouring in the oven

Girls, recently someone wrote that the gingerbread pouring can be dried in the oven, but I did not remember what temperature and how long, tell me, who knows, huh?

dry at 50C for about an hour, if only shine is important, then 30-40 minutes is enough, if it is to dry, then about 2 hours.

Lisa, and I tried to dry it like that. I did it on convection at 50 degrees.
After about 40 minutes, cracks began to appear in the glaze.
As I understand it, the glaze on top quickly began to dry out, but inside it was still soft, and the top layer began to crack.
Do you know what could be the reason?

Vei, Lisa, thanks !!! Tomorrow I will try this way

so in fact the temperature was above 50C.

Thank you, Lisa. I will try to do it with a lower temperature next time.

Could it be that convection is to blame?

no, it's just a heated fan. I have a "Drying" mode in my oven, in which the temperature starts from 50C, so I dry on it (in fact, this is low-temperature convection. There is no such mode in the bakery, they simply set 50C and the Convection mode.

But, Natasha, it may take more than 2 hours, you never know how it depends on the humidity in the house. I do this to a greater extent for the appearance of a pearlescent shine, especially for colored and dark gingerbread, which will be matte without such drying or without a lamp. If there is only one gingerbread, then it can be dried under a lamp, and if there are several trays of them, then only an oven and convection.

and if there are several baking sheets, then only the oven and convection

Liz, can you dry 2 baking sheets at once? I just have a dofig ...

it's probably too late, but I'll answer anyway. Yes, you can at least put all the baking trays with convection, everything will be fine. Set only the lowest temperature 45-50C.

Lisa, thanks! Yesterday I dried on 2 levels at 50 C, normal flight Below 50, my temperature is not set

lower and not necessary, otherwise there will be no shine, it is just that sometimes the ovens overheat, that is, you set 50C, but in fact it is hotter there.

I also got cracks, but I have a gas oven, you can't put out a temper. After that I began to dry with the door ajar, it became normal

Liza, Thank you:)
Probably the sensor is lying. I'll put it on 30 with convection next time.

Girls and in the dryer, no one tried to dry the gingerbread ?? there are five levels))

[Wholesale buy gingerbread bags]

[Larissa]

Girls, these are my artistic inclinations

these are not inclinations, but a real postcard! very good!

Larissa, amazingly beautiful!
Please tell me, how did you do the background?

Katerina79, background-icing, shaded with dry paints

Ah, now I see
Shading with dry paints looks very nice! Just like a real painting!

Larisa, a very beautiful picture-postcard turned out! I really like it! and what is the size of the cookie?
I have only one thing that does not fit together - in the foreground it looks like Christmas leaves (I don't remember what this plant is called, but it is Christmas wreaths from it and all that), and in the background there are not snow-white snowy hills, but green grass and trees, although very beautiful!
But everything is done impeccably neat, stylish and beautiful! I love this style very much

Larissa, your gingerbread can be viewed and viewed!

Vei, hahahhahahh, Liz, and I think who will be the first to notice ??
Quite right! Winter was conceived! And then the forest, and not a path and a house! And then suddenly kaaak went off, I realized, somehow it still does not pull for the winter, instead of blue-black
tones like that switched to summer! At first I wanted to redraw the leaves, but I felt sorry, left it as it is.
And there the hut was added, and so on! So there is a discrepancy in the seasons, although this bush is the same in winter and summer

Yeah, I also wanted to say. If people made these leaves a winter tradition, this does not mean that they do not grow anywhere in the summer.

Lara, this picture is amazing. I just insolently climbed into my heart and I have to carry a huge thank you with me.

olesya555, oh, Oles !!! I'm just melting !!

Yes? but we have just when the first snow falls, there may very well be such a landscape, with green withered grass, glades and snow, I saw a snowball near the trees, well, at least I thought it was him.

VeiLiz, sorry, overlooked the size question (13x9.5 cm)

Larissa u, Larissa, well. at. at. y .. your work is very difficult to comment on, you can only dream of repeating them!
In the picture, for me everything, everything is harmonious, in my understanding, the landscape of the warm season, with a subtle hint of the coming winter, as if you want to say "... enjoy the sun, green grass and warm days, until it comes, though full of cheerful celebrations , but a harsh, frosty time ... "

Larissa, this is not a mismatch of seasons, but probably a fairy tale of 12 months, where they had all the seasons at the same time. So what a fairy tale came out with you!

I'm shocked by such inclinations! in this
i just look and consider ... and consider ....

and in general I feel flawed and with crooked hands

DaNiSa, thanks, Alyon :-)

Girls, well, show already who has made what by September 1! I will be the first I had
set for a young fashionista

A gift for a girl who has a birthday on September 1 and she went to work at a language school that day

Magazine for the class teacher (I confess, the idea is licked)

For girl

And another set that I saw on Vicki's Instagram. I repeated it as best I could. But I didn't even have time to take a picture, only in a box

Not everything worked out perfectly, but as it is ... Ready for criticism
And today I finished the children's set. The girl decided to present the future dad with an opaque Box, but I did not dare to repeat Tatyana's feat and make the box myself, so I just decorated the window


P.S. And my previous children's set, made for a charity fair, went to your region, to Gelendzhik

harmful78, Liz, how I love for babies !! I like the color very much !!! Pretty ones! I think only the nipple ring needed to be narrowed to the base, right?
Oh! There are also rattles!

Larissa u, yes, the rings on the nipples should have been made wider. And, to be honest, I have problems with circles. Perfectly flat never comes out. But I'm fighting!

harmful78, you are smart, fight, and everything will be great! And here I’m almost like that, I throw it all away and get depressed! The most disgusting, but I can not do anything .... Thank God this does not last long!

slapsticks - what's this?

harmful78, hahahahah
Well legs, legs

Larisa, embarrassed me for a long time wanted to do with paws, but all the time was not enough. I saw them on Instagram, with Anya Guseva. And finally she repeated it. It's troublesome, I'll tell you

harmful78, Liza! cool gifts! I liked the magazine and the book very much.
The set for the future daddy evokes tenderness, especially hearts with legs!

Sahara, Lera, Thank you! Do you have anything in your stash too?

No, Liza, there is nothing, she gave everything without photographing :-)

And who will tell you how to make craquelure on a gingerbread.

lenkor, no, Len, this is not a conversation about such craquelure, and he knows how - it's only Vika. The question is, can she share this ... I did not dare ask

What about? Interesting.

Girls, is it?

Larissa u, did you mean these Vikin's gingerbread? I understand the craquelure is it cracks in the glaze? or I didn't understand anything at all ...

Alyona, yes, it was about these gingerbread. I'm not a fan of vintage jo cracks
Vika wrote on the insta that she was sending a video from MK for such a craquelure for a fee.

Fsyoyoyoyo, I do not advise anywhere else for free

Girls, let's guess together. How to get cracked? Who dries the gingerbread cookies in the oven, have they cracked with you? ... And then I think, after the cracks, you need to walk with dry paint

oh, but I did not see the video above!

DaNiSa, yes, yes, these wonderful cracks !!!!

Laris, maybe this is done by scuffing over half-dried glaze? : girl-th: oh, Lisa, don't scare us! to whom are we going to run for help?

in insta she is gingerbread_vika
absolutely definitely not, when tapping, you cannot avoid failures in those places where you knock. I did not ask this question, and I never had cracks, and I do not strive for them, so I have no experience in this matter.

Lada2014, Vika is aelita1702
I'm not too crazy about all these cracks either. And it will not be in demand here. They take what is cheaper, albeit simpler

And I can just look at him for hours! He amazed me even in scrapbooking, and even in gingerbread - he just finished off cookies!

Lar, so order a video from her then, it costs 650 rubles, in principle, not expensive, if you like it.

Or can you roll it lightly with a rolling pin? : lol: Here's a rebus

Vei, Liz, I've already contacted Vika

There it seems that on top of the dried dark glaze it was applied simply with white paint - not icing. The question is that either something was added to the paint, or something was applied to the dark glaze before painting .... As in the usual decoupage. And then immediately dried ...

I don’t know how with glaze and icing, but when baking, the dough very often cracks in insufficient moisture, if the baking temperature is also exceeded.
that is, if you make the glaze drier than according to the recipe, or just first dry it in the air, and then in the oven, and dry it at a temperature of 20-30 degrees higher, then it will definitely crack, but how artistic? You can, of course, pre-scratch the "guides" for these cracks with a needle.
If anyone has time for such an experiment, try it.

Dora tomato, Hi! wonderful gingerbread! I liked the box and the last hearts with roses. at first, the lines are a little thick, you need a smaller nozzle. but in general it looks very gentle, colors are beautifully selected

Dora tomato,
Bravo What are beautiful

Girls, I hold on with all my might ... I haven't made gingerbread yet ... Another drop and I will yell: "Teach me to do this"

What a beauty I'm not an artist at all, but something would work

Dora tomato, and I also noted the quality of the photos, the photos themselves are wonderful, especially the first, super photo! Well, of course the gingerbread cookies are pretty!

Nansy, Natasha, and the third still liked the photo! see how the window lights up in the background
Dora tomato, you're an artist!

yes, I also noticed, the backlight there probably looks very advantageous, I'll take note

No, well, why rape yourself? Since the soul asks, then we must create!

[Nansy]

Girls, I haven't exhibited for a long time, everything was not up to this, then orders, then changes in my personal life ... But I looked at all your works regularly and admired! I've had a few gingerbread cookies all this time, can I show you? Nothing special, but suddenly someone will need some idea.
2 times participated in charity fairs, these were the gingerbreads there.
This is from the first:




This is from the second:

Replenishment?
And what is it under the spoiler then? Profile topic. A hard worker!

Nansy, Natasha, just a sight for sore eyes!
Such lines are clear, everything is so smooth, so beautiful!
Although I understand that some of the other jobs are more difficult, the owls won me over!
Oh, what golden hands you have!

Vary, if only ... Divorce ... But it's for the best
Yes, there are a lot of photos so that the page loads faster and hides
Olga VB, Olenka, thank you very much!

Nansy, Natasha, beautiful gingerbread, and I really like the fairgrounds, they are all sleek and stylish.

Nansy, well, if for the best, then congratulations. All to you and more!

Nansy, Natasha, it's good that I dropped in and didn't just look in, but brought such beauty! ready to admire your openwork gingerbread for hours

I didn't seem to expose these either:


I will hide the rest of the photos under the spoiler

Well, the last ones, on the day of the oilman ordered:

All gingerbread cookies are double, inside each congratulation is written

From, the oilmen were lucky ... Everyone is just gingerbread, and they are double ...

Well, they are oilmen On the radio today they said that they have corporate parties in Dubai ...

[Vei]

Vei, the gift Temple is simply magnificent, how much work, clever girl!
harmful78, September sets are great! A great idea for a children's guessing set.
Larissa u, the gingerbread picture is mesmerizing, like a magic forest.
Dora tomato, but my pictures do not open, so interesting to look
Nansy, healthy gingerbread, bright, juicy, you just want to bite! Postcards for oil workers are generally a bomb!

[Elya_lug]

I'll show you some of my own. The sea is flawed, since I did it at night and there was not enough time. I also decided to take part in the fair and was in a hurry. Many ideas are gleaned from the Crafts Fair. I will bring gingerbread to the masses, many do not know what it is. Almost everyone asked "can they be eaten."
Mezashkalach dough from Elizabeth and Gingerbread from Lera Sahara, these are the most delicious gingerbread. Lera, I'm delighted with your test, I regret not having tried it before. There are no problems with it at all, there are no bumps and bubbles, and the taste is divine.
Used in parallel and Hungarian varnish glaze, and icing. I made several identical gingerbread cookies, or with minor changes, there was no time to take a picture. Daisies and butterflies cut out with plungers for mastic, Lerino dough. They cut out perfectly, even an imprint remained on the daisies, I will use others, I bought a couple more new ones, it's a pity that they are not as large as I would like, but nothing.

Elya_lug, what pretty daisies. I have such daisy plungers, but they are not deep. Once she twisted them in her hands and put them aside. You probably rolled out thin dough for them and butterflies to cut? Or did you just outline the outlines with them, and then cut them out with a knife?

Elya, but owls sunk into my soul, I probably breathe unevenly towards them

Mona1, Tanya, no, she rolled out the dough of millimeter 3, like for everything else. I pressed it with a plunger and pushed it well over the table sprinkled with flour, the excess is cut off, you do not need to cut it out with a knife. Try it. It only seems that they are shallow.
Nansy, Natasha, thank you. The owlet took a long time to choose how good it is that there is the Internet for these purposes.

Elya_lug, such gingerbread cuties. I also want to note owls you have such ... a professorial look .... cool!
on daisies, the fill seems a little thick. but for night doing it is generally something! I don't see anything at night

No, El, I can't do that, I roll mine thicker, 6-7 mm each

DaNiSa, thank you, learned owls, maybe they do not pull up to professors, but docents for sure. With the filling it was thick, then liquid, and there was no practice for a long time. And I did the owls last, so it turned out better.
Here's a specialist photographed gingerbread plunger cut. On the right is Liza's mezeshkalach, more convex, it was not very convenient to fill in. On the left is the dough from Lera, the relief can be seen well, although it sucked in under the stick, but then I made an additional circle, put a skewer, and then a flower. Holds up well. In hot ones, too, if you stick a skewer, then it keeps well. Daisies with filling were taken apart first.
Mona1, Tanya, well, you can roll it out thinner under the plungers, and make it thicker for other molds.

Elya, Wow! gingerbread! Also smooth gingerbread! Or maybe my ones are not smooth because I put cocoa. Write about the fair in more detail. Have pictures from the fair?

Elya_lug, Elichka, congratulations on going public! The gingerbread cookies are bright, festive and the table looks very elegant!
The most important thing is that you enjoyed this event.

[ledi]

ledi, my dough Mezeshkalach is also not smooth, convex gingerbread cookies are obtained with bubbles, and if you press them down, it somehow comes out ugly. But Lerino dough was cool, they were even. The fair was dedicated to the Day of Miners, and local craftsmen came from different cities. A lot of things: kanzash, stone jewelry, beading, clay toys, icon painting, embroidery, wood carving and much more. I was alone with the gingerbread cookies, but since I got in without registration, I didn't have a table, I didn't think to make a sign, the gingerbread cookies with hair clips were adjacent. There were also problems with the packaging, I was able to buy only small bags with a zip fastener, and many gingerbread cookies did not fit in there, I had to invest in ordinary ones, the view was immediately lost. We stood for about four hours, there was a concert nearby, a playground, people walked and went to the fair-exhibition.

Nansy, be sure to try, forget about the bubbles.

And I ate another pasta today. After Easter I hid the rest of the unsold and now I eat one every month, I see how long they can hold out. While the flight is normal. The paste is soft, tasty, the glaze is not cracked or sprinkled. The dough recipe is mine (a cross between Lerin and Lenkor), only for Easter I replaced a bit of wheat flour with rye, now without rye. Maybe because of the presence of rye flour, they are still soft, I don't know.

firstly, what will they, in principle, be? they should remain good, soft or not depends on the humidity in the house, But rye flour makes the dough whiter, viscous and soft, more gingerbread or something.

[Dora tomato]

Dora tomato, pour, otherwise many have not seen the gingerbread. And reload the avatar, you can't see it either.

I will show my
The letters were based on Vicki, or rather not even based on motives, but there were only one repeat in the set. All 8cm high

From the set I will show a couple of gingerbread cookies, an idea from a branch about the use of molds

With the letters, everything turned out to be more complicated than I thought. not only do a bunch of flowers need to be bred and used, but also the location of each drawing must be calculated. In general, the time is spent - the mass. And some I made as a gift, so in my opinion they were not particularly appreciated ...

harmful78, Liza, charming letters! and a bow and a carriage! that there are not even any emotions from the gift? hmm ... do not appreciate ...

There were, but weak ones) Considering that I gave letters with cherries and before that I sat until 3 in the morning to finish drawing them ... Now I will do something simpler as a gift. At least to those who have already given
Girls, but I have a question: did anyone cast the Russian coat of arms on the file? They want a gingerbread in the form of a passport. I saw it on the internet, but it seemed to me that I wouldn't do it so carefully. Or maybe it's better to draw it right away on a gingerbread?

harmful78, Lisa, cool letters! I don’t know if I’ll move on to them, they seem difficult to me. The gift set is super!
With regard to diversity, it is also not so difficult. at first I did several pieces of one type, then the next, somehow it turned out not very tensely.Girls, and I put Lerino dough in the refrigerator, and then I had it in my room for half a day and then only baked, I liked it.Liza, I will not tell you about the coat of arms, I have not tried this yet.
Girls help with advice. I need to make some kind of plate on the table for gingerbread to mark them, and not tell everyone that these are gingerbread and they are edible. There should be no advertising. Thinking to write "Painted gingerbread" and add some photos. What do you advise?

Elya, Ale, you can also write "Handmade gingerbread", "Gingerbread and honey cakes". And you can also "Exclusive gingerbread" I was once told: I heard that you make exclusive gingerbread

Likewise!
Ale, write "Homemade, delicious honey cakes."
So that everyone immediately wants to try :)

Katerina79, good idea Only I would remove the word honey. I just don't like honey myself, and there are still many such people. And to prove that honey is not felt by everyone in gingerbread

No, honey must be indicated, because honey allergy is a fairly common thing. And to smash a person can not be childish. When I write advertisements on message boards, and on business cards, I write honey. And every second and besides this I ask if there is any allergy to honey. Many kids take it. By the way, my daughter-in-law, my tiny gingerbread without pouring (or rather a quarter of the gingerbread), only fed it to my granddaughter a week ago (she is one year and 10 months old). Like she deducted that children under 3 years old should not be given honey-containing products. And her mother, my matchmaker, she is a therapist, she also said so. Like a very allergic product, babies cannot. But still, my persuasions that a tiny piece will not hurt, but on the contrary, just check it out, won. Well, in general, the child liked it. At first, the eyes were frightened - like - what is it ??? Then they fought back from her - "there are those pies inside the dish." )))) There was no allergy, mmm.

I also write about honey for the same reasons as Tanya. But I also feel honey very much, my gingerbread cookies smell like honey and spices, otherwise how are they better than the store ones ???

harmful78, Liza, The set are lovely! I don’t even know what I liked better!
And about the fact that they did not appreciate your gift at its true worth - do not be upset, the girls have somehow already noticed that these people do not understand that something muchoooooo valuable is invested in such gifts than work and time
Elya_lug, Elichka, I would write "Handmade honey cakes".

My gingerbreads are also very fragrant and honey feels good, it's not for nothing that I strive to always put one of the best varieties of honey.
Almost all customers speak about the scent first of all, although it is even strange that some people feel this scent even through the packaging.

harmful78, Liza, thanks, now I will mark all the options and I will decide. I don't like exclusive ones, then they should definitely be masterpieces. Even on cakes, this word has become boring to me - they call any crooked exclusive name. I avoid it.
Mona1, I also said that honey and asked about allergies. They also said that they were ginger, but I stood my ground, although there is ginger in the dough, but not so much, and the dough in ginger is different. And at the exhibition wasps swarmed around the gingerbread, they also smelled honey.
My little one is a year and a month, licks a spoon of honey, gingerbreads from ordinary dough for a honey cake eats well. The painted mezeshkalach took it away, sat in a chair chewing, said "Nyamu -nyamu", but ate some.
Sahara, Thank you!!! I take what I have, yesterday I bought "sweet clover-linden", but have not tried it yet.

Liza, Pretty ones !. Did you cut out the letters by hand?

Yes,Vera, manually. I really want to order the alphabet, but so far not so many letters are ordered so that they can spend money on these molds. And for unsold gingerbread ... I donate everything that I have not sold to a charity fair. They will sell them there and the children will receive money for treatment. And I am pleased that my work did not disappear, but brought benefits.
And I also built such a set.Also not her own idea The woman asked for an athlete for her son. She said any gingerbread on a sports theme. The guy is a skier, but what should a skier draw? A hat, mittens - somehow not for sports. I just came up with skis stuck in the snow

harmful78, Liza, very beautiful gingerbread cookies, and a very good idea. Did you draw directly on icing or outlined the contours somehow?

Mona1, Tanya, I transferred all the drawings to icing, even skis There was little time and I was afraid that I would ruin something. Therefore, I translated.

How to transfer a picture to a gingerbread

Winter postcard
Stencil painting, fill and brush stitch to create a snow effect. At the last stage, staining the image with silver kandurin.

[Tanya]

Here I trained the size 8 cm

Oh, roses, beautiful! And I will not risk it, I bought nozzles and still will not try it. I like the first photo very much and the second. Verun, how did you do the boards on the first one? Scratched on dried up something or what? And they look like they are covered in frost from above, what's that?

Tanya, Just scratched. If you mean the dark frost color on the gingerbread, then this is a dry dye

Vera, very cool gingerbread!
It's very cool with orange roses!
Cameos are nice and little roses!

Vera, with small roses it turned out very cool, straight flower bed.

[Liza]

Girls, my question is: are there stencil molds on sale, can they be used for gingerbread or are they just for cookies? Do the stencil lines disappear when baking?

LizaWe now have a very large assortment just for gingerbread at Dasha Rokitskaya. True, I myself did not use :)

She saw it. The girls here instilled doubts in me about monkeys, now I think that at least one is needed. I wanted to order a stamp from Dasha, so that later on with drawing less to mess around. In short, I think

about such speech?

yes, just about such

Liza, in the evening I will bake gingerbread and I will make a couple of these and later throw off the pictures

harmful78, about stamps Vitaly Rokitsky himself says "NEW molds-stamps !!! And they cut and leave an imprint of the drawing. BUT !!!! This is suitable for those who are confident in their test - should not be deformed during baking !!! whoever has an airbrush - I advise those to stay on the stencil + mold (sets) option. " He wrote this. Apparently this is only suitable for shortcrust pastry.

then I'm telling. keeps its shape, but .. you need a good thickness of the dough. the photo shows where it is thinner, where the drawing is poorly expressed. and second. such shapes should be chosen with a minimum of small details. it is very difficult to leave the dough / even well sprinkled with flour /. Ben has an ear problem, a hedgehog and a lamb with paws.

Natkamor, Thank you! The information is valuable. At least, the desire to buy such a mold disappeared without a trace. Such gingerbread will definitely not go for filling.

Liza, not only for filling, but also for painting, they are practically useless, the contour lines that are obtained after the print are blurred and, similar to uneven grooves, it is difficult to circle these places, because the lines fall into these grooves.
Unless the dough is rolled very thinly, so that only a little bit of the print is visible, and even then there is no guarantee that this print will show where and how to circle.

I bought plungers of bears and flowers, there were so many hopes, the Lerino dough, but I practically did not fill up the flour, the bears and the contours also blurred, and I was going not to pour, but only to circle.

Hello everyone! I decided to get out of the bushes and show my gingerbread cookies. I got carried away with decorating gingerbread not very long ago, but there is a desire and desire to develop and master new techniques
