Preparing gingerbread:

Sift the flour and cocoa, add sugar, melted butter, melted honey (do not let it boil!), cinnamon, baking powder and warm milk.

Mix the dough. Wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

We make paper blanks. There are small square notes.

1 sheet, like an airplane, fold the 2 ends inward (front - 2 pieces).

Fold 2 sheets of paper in half (this will be the side wall - 2 pieces).

3 – will remain intact (roof – 2 pcs.).

Roll out the dough, apply the blanks and cut out the required number of parts using a knife.

You can also cut out several Christmas trees, a snowman, a fence...

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the parts on it and bake at a temperature of ~180 degrees, about 10-12 minutes (do not overbake).

Preparing the glaze:

Whisk egg whites into a strong foam, gradually adding powdered sugar.

Add lemon juice at the end, mixing well.

Decorate:

Cool the house figures. Using a pastry bag (nozzle with a small hole), we trace the contours and patterns of your choice. Decorate the gingerbread cookies and let the cream harden.

Let's start assembling the house:

Install the front and side wall, applying glaze to the sides of the blanks, and also continue with the remaining parts. Leave to dry.

We install the roof one by one. We fix each one so that it does not fall (using stands, lids, toothpicks... of the required size). Fill the joint on the roof with a thick layer of glaze. It takes several hours for the cream to completely harden and hold the entire structure.

Preparing the biscuit:

Cool and beat with a mixer. The mass is ready if you run your finger over it and a streak remains.

Sift flour and cocoa onto the surface of the mass in 3 approaches. Pour melted warm butter around the edge of the bowl. Gently mix with a spatula from bottom to top.

Pour into a mold (26 cm) and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes.

Leave the finished biscuit in a cool place for 8 hours. We cut it lengthwise into 2 parts.

Prepare the biscuit cream:

We start whipping the cream at the lowest speed. We gradually increase the whipping speed by adding sifted powdered sugar and vanilla sugar. When stable peaks appear, stop whipping the cream.
Let's soak the biscuit:

When I made the cake Kindergarten“I came across the problem of a small house, collected everything I found in a heap and reworked it in my own way.
I collected the base, I have the cakes classic sponge cake, sour cream with thickener. I wanted to achieve as smooth walls as possible, so I also covered the cut uneven sides with cake layers.

I also covered the front and back of the house thin cakes. Added a couple of layers for the roof:

Unfortunately, I didn’t take a photo of the next stage, but I think it will be clear - I built up the roof with potatoes (I crushed the cuttings of the cakes in a blender with butter and condensed milk).
Next from waffle cakes cut out the details of the house - the roof, walls and glued it on boiled condensed milk. Before doing this, I cooled the cake well so that the potatoes froze and did not wrinkle. The waffles will prevent our house from deforming when it is covered. This is another way to make the cake as even as possible. Although, in my opinion, it was possible to make the roof in the same way as the walls from shortcakes (here it’s optional):

Now we coat the cake with mastic cream, I love ganache

For a long time I was tormented by the question of how to cover the house - with one piece of mastic, or all the walls separately. In this case, I cut out parts from gray mastic 2 days in advance so that they would dry thoroughly. In the same way, I made blanks for the roof from brown mastic (I didn’t photograph the roof separately):

Now we begin to assemble our house. I glued it on the same ganache. I miscalculated a little and the walls turned out to be a little shorter, it’s best to do it with a margin:

The pediment is in the form of triangles, the imprint was made using patchwork:

Easter 2017: dancing

Naturally, there were dances on holidays, where would we be without them?

I’ve already baked a cheesecake with peaches, it’s predictably delicious, and very simple to work with. Increased by curd filling all ingredients 1.2 times.

Step 1: prepare honey dough.

In a bowl, use a knife to chop the flour from butter(it’s better to take the butter out of the refrigerator first so that it melts a little at room temperature), add 1 egg, sugar, honey, cocoa powder, baking powder and the listed spices. Mix everything thoroughly, knead until smooth with your hands, and gradually add milk (it should also be at room temperature). The dough will turn out stiff, roll it into a ball and wrap it in cling film or put it in a plastic bag. Leave it to come for 3-4 hours without changing the thermal conditions in the room.

Step 2: Cut out the gingerbread house pieces.

To make the house smooth and neat, we will use thick cardboard. Take a blank sheet of paper, a pencil and a ruler. The photo will help you figure out what the blanks should look like. Cut out parts from cardboard with scissors gingerbread house. Its size will be approximately 20x20x20 cm. But, if you are an experienced cook, you can always vary the size of the building at your discretion. I don’t recommend making a house that is too small, as decorating it will become a chore for you. It’s also not a good idea to make it too bulky, as it will be more difficult to secure.

Step 3: Cut out the gingerbread house pieces from the honey dough. .

Before using the dough, you should knead it a little again. Then, using a rolling pin, roll it out to a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Place the blanks on the resulting plate and use a knife to see the details of the house. Also cut out a round or square platform on which the gingerbread house will stand. Make holes in the parts for the roof with a toothpick so that you can then thread a ribbon or regular thread through it. The holes should be made at a short distance from each other (2 cm) on one of the longest sides of each roof. If there is still dough left, try cutting out small Christmas trees.

Step 4: bake the gingerbread house parts.

Place the gingerbread house parts on a baking sheet lined with baking paper or greased with butter and bake in the oven at 200 degrees 15-20 minutes. After the time has passed, remove and cool at room temperature.

Separate the whites of 2 eggs from the yolks, this can be done by hand or using a separator, and beat the yolks into a stiff foam with a blender or mixer. Then gradually add powdered sugar, continuing to beat. The glaze should be very thick.

Step 6: Assemble the gingerbread house.

Cut the marmalade into thin slices (3-5 mm) with a knife. Glue it to the windows with icing. Also grease the platform and walls of the gingerbread house with icing. Glue the walls of the house together and glue it to the site. Wait for the glaze to harden. Using a ribbon, connect the parts of the house roof. Glue the pipe to the roof with icing. Put a roof on the house. Coat all parts as thoroughly as possible so that they are well fixed. Pay special attention to the “joints” at the main fastening points of the house, windows and doors.

Step 7: decorate the gingerbread house.

Place the remaining frosting into a piping bag. Draw wavy patterns on the gingerbread roof. Sprinkle the walls and roof of the house with powdered sugar. Also use icing to attach to the tree stand. Above the door using a felt-tip pen with food coloring you can draw a Christmas wreath. If you don't have it, you can use all the same icing, then simply decorate the wreath with colored food sprinkles. Place the resulting house in the refrigerator for 1 hour until it hardens completely.

Step 8: Serve the gingerbread house.

The gingerbread house can be made even more magical. To make a surprise, you can place a small lit candle inside the building. To do this, carefully push it through the door. Just remember to make sure that the roof of the house does not burn from the candle. This way, a gentle candle light will be provided from the windows. This dish can be served with the lights off.

Bon appetit! To decorate the gingerbread house, you can use colored marmalade, coconut flakes

, chocolate chips, cake sprinkles.

You can make gingerbread men or snowmen from the same dough. Basically final stage
