I have not been posting and making cookies for a while, almost none in 2016. I just have my ups and downs with everything that I do. But I had to get started and do the Hungarian Christmas Fair this year. This is the season for gingerbread, I cannot miss it, right?
Great news!
I will be teaching two cookie decorating classes at Assabet in Marlboro.
The first class is on 11/03/15 to learn the basics of decorating beautiful cookies and at the end we will decorate some Thanksgiving cookies. The class called Thanksgiving Cookie Decorating.
The second class will teach students of how to decorate gingerbread ornaments which are great as gifts, or ornaments, but also taste really good.
This class will be on 12/01/15, called Christmas Cookie Ornaments
There is still place available!
I finished the holiday gingerbread baking, but did not get the chance to write about the red color on gingerbread cookies. With this technique there is no flood icing/base icing before the decoration gets on the gingerbread cookie.
A nice red or other color can be reached with a simple technique used in a couple of different ways.
The color is brushed on the gingerbread cookie itself without royal icing.
I prepared two different gingerbread recipes for those who use metric/ American measurement. I have started with this gingerbread recipe about 10 years ago, decorating gingerbread cookies with friends.
Over the years I tried several gingerbread recipe variations but this is still the best for me. It is great to work with; it is semi soft after baking, and doesn’t dries out quickly. Try it, and let me know how it turns out!

I love when someone comes to me with idea, I had never done before. This lady asked me if I can make cookies for her baby boy Christening. I had never than that before, but I did some cookies with names before, so I said yes too the order.
