Technique for decorating gingerbread wet on wet (master class)

Ingredients

gingerbread or cookies
jellied icing of different colors
needle

Cooking method

  • I want to share my knowledge as very simply, very quickly, but effectively, you can decorate gingerbread cookies. Of course, I did not come up with anything new, and there is even a video in the topic "We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies", but maybe this MK will be useful to someone, especially for beginners.
  • So, we need the gingerbread cookies that we want to decorate, the jellied icing of the flowers we need and a needle. Recipe for correct icing here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=2187.0
  • And also useful to read topics We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies, Icing jellied, well, in general the icing section https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&board=528.0.
  • I will show you 2 of the simplest drawings, and then come up with, imagine!
  • Yes, I want to warn you that you need to work quickly before the pouring surface starts to set!
  • 1. Chain
  • Fill the gingerbread (I have a part of the gingerbread) with icing of one color (I have light green), with jellied icing of a different color (I have dark green) put dots close to each other (they immediately start to blur into small circles). At this stage, you can already take a needle and draw it through the entire row of points through their center, we get a one-color chain. It's boring for me to make monochromatic ones, and in the center of each dot I put another dot smaller than some contrasting color (in this case, I put it with white icing), and then I draw it with a needle. In the photo we are looking at the central part of the gingerbread, because I only at that moment remembered that I needed to turn on the camera

  • 2. Abstract flower
  • Fill the gingerbread and draw a circle with jellied icing of a different color. Do not be alarmed if it turns out to be uneven, then it will not be noticeable. If, at this stage, draw a needle in different parts of the circle in the direction from the edge of the circle to the center, then we get the simplest flower. I draw several circles of different colors inside each other and only then draw with a needle. Here's what happens:

  • On this gingerbread in the central part, the drawing is made like this: I drew lines with different icing colors and drew a needle through the center:

  • And on these gingerbreads near the flowers, all the petals are drawn with a needle in the direction from the edge of the circle to the center, and in the lower part of the flower, on the contrary, from the center outward, it turned out like this:

  • Accordingly, swiping the needle in different directions, we get different patterns.
  • So fantasize and try! I would be glad if this MK is useful to someone!

ychilka
Natasha, thank you, everything is very accessible!
NataST
What beauty! Wow, I thought it was much more difficult to do, but here in the pictures it seems to be not difficult Well, this is probably until I take the gingerbread in my hands :-) Very useful MK, opened my eyes to me, thanks Natasha !!!
Nansy
Girls, but not at all! It takes longer to write than to do))) Try, create and show howling beauty!
elena i
It looks so easy and beautiful !!!
thanks for MK! : rose: I will try. Before 15, you need to bring igras to the competition. I usually make a gingerbread house, but now I don’t know, my eyes run up, my hands are afraid. Now I’ll drive through Dorogomilovsky, maybe I’ll get something from the molds there, I have very little ones.
lungwort
Natasha, for the stupid, tell me - the filling should dry out, and then a drawing is applied on it, or is it all over liquid?
Vei
Natalia, thanks for the MK! very beautiful gingerbread and wrote and explained everything intelligibly. But you would have already given here in MK a link to the icing recipe and its consistency, since you don't want to repeat yourself)) so that newbies are not lost.
PS super-duper heart! You still have to dig in and post other pictures with gingerbread using this technique for example and inspiration!
LarL
The beauty! Thank you. Just thinking about which recipe for gingerbread to choose and how to decorate

no, everything is liquid! I even wrote there that everything should be done quickly, until the fill dries up

Nansy
Olesya, great! These colors are beautiful!
Vei
olesya555, and this is icing? and what dyes? such a beautiful deep color, I can't imagine how much paint should go to get such a color.
ychilka
Girls, do you pour the gingerbread cookies on one side?
ledi
Julia, on the one hand.
Nansy
ychilka, Julia, why with two?
ZeZe

Thank you for such an affordable MK .. I would never have thought that I could do this on gingerbread ... korevastenko of course .. but I was proud of myself .. I made such beauty with your help !!! in general, take my gingerbread ... of course there is still something to work on .. but the basic principle is clear !!!

PySy: for some reason, my colored icing was dyed white ... maybe I had to dry it out, but I didn't have much time ... I did it as always at night ... and first I did the contour with icing ... while I make the contour for 6- 7 liveries - the first ones are already drying up and I immediately poured them with liquid icing ... and let them liquefy ... but the color turned white, and everything looked not very neat ...
Nansy
ZeZe, Lyaila, what a fine fellow you are! How many gingerbreads have decorated, everything is great, beauty! I won't tell you about coloring, in Temka We decorate gingerbread cookies, cookies were also asked such a question today, I don't know why this happens I didn't have this, I dry each fill color well before pouring another color next to it

Natasha, thank you very much ... yeah ... these are my first-borns ... how will I have time to decorate - there are still unadorned gingerbread cookies, and the dough is still in the refrigerator and waiting in the wings !!!
so I myself also think that most likely the point is that I was in a hurry and did not let each color dry out separately ... and spoiled the look ... next time I will try to dry it and then add another color! I'll come again! Thank you!
fomca
And I brought my gingerbread cookies decorated in this technique and THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Natasha!

Sveta, you have golden hands! Everything, for whatever you undertake, it turns out gorgeous! Your gingerbreads are beautiful, you can't take your eyes off!
Lapuska
The most important question in the "wet on wet" theme is that the bright color of the glaze, after complete drying, "penetrates" into the white and the contours of the picture become indistinct, blurred, not neat. That is, before you paint on white with a different color, you need to let the white fill dry? If yes, then it will no longer be a wet-on-wet technique ...
DaNiSa
Lapuska, on the contrary, do not let the icing dry out, then it will not break beautifully

No, do not let the white color dry out. This problem is solved by drying the gingerbread under a lamp or in a convection oven at a minimum temperature, then the bright color does not have time to penetrate into the white
Kokoschka
Natalia, thank you very much!!!
Please tell me, will dry dyes work?
Am I powdery or liquid?
