Welcome to the Gingerbread Academy:
Your Exclusive Free Preview Lesson!
In this free lesson, we'll dive into the secrets of the elegant spiral.
This highly decorative shape is one of the basic decorating elements you'll enjoy creating, leading to beautiful gingerbread cookies. In the video, we'll show you how easily you can master this element. I've included additional inspiration in the pictures so you can see all that such a simple element, combined with other techniques I teach in the Gingerbread Academy, can achieve.
3 Tips for a Perfect Spiral
1. The foundation is a well-baked gingerbread cookie that you've allowed to cool. Achieve the correct dough structure and prepare your dough according to the instructions in the Gingerbread Academy – in the "How to Make Dough" section.
2. The gingerbread surface must be smooth, which is why I recommend coating the gingerbread immediately after baking with a mixture suitable for the given recipe. Want to know my secret recipe for this miraculous mixture and learn all the tricks for a perfect surface? You'll discover everything in the "Surface Treatment of Gingerbread" module in the full Gingerbread Academy!
3. Hold the gingerbread in one hand and decorate with the other. Do you find it difficult to create a beautiful, steady line without it trembling? This is due to incorrect hand position. Discover how to properly hold the gingerbread, and your creations will be works of art.
