Sugar writing gold

No other pastry screams sugar writing louder than the gingerbread! The pastry is often seen at the Christmas market. Most often, the gingerbread is decorated with a sweet message. How to make a homemade gingerbread with a message for your loved ones, you will learn now:

For a delicious gingerbread dough you need:

130 g butter

200 g honey

50 g Agave syrup

100 g cane sugar

500 g flour (550)

1 tsp baking powder

1 TBSP. Cocoa powder

1 TBSP. Gingerbread spice

60 g whole egg (1 egg size M)

Here's how:

Take butter, honey, agave syrup and cane sugar in a pot and heat everything on medium heat. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool. Meanwhile, mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and gingerbread spice. Whisk the egg and add it to the cooled honey mixture. Now fold the dry ingredients into the liquid mixture. Knead all the ingredients together and form a firm dough. Knead the gingerbread dough into a flat dough and wrap some plastic wrap around the dough. Now the dough for gingerbread can be put in the refrigerator and chill for two hours. 

Chilling in the refrigerator makes the dough easier to handle. Now you can mix the dough with the help of the Rolling pin roll out to 1 cm. Today the oven to 180 degrees top / bottom heat and line your baking sheet with baking paper. The most famous shape for gingerbread is the heart. So you can take a heart cutter to hand and cut out of the dough. We recommend that you start cutting at the edge of the dough and cut out as close as possible. This way you can cut out many hearts. Place your hearts on the baking tray with the baking paper. Once the tray is full, you can bake everything in the oven for 15-20 minutes. After baking, pull the baking paper with the gingerbread hearts onto a wire rack. Before you decorate your gingerbread, the cake should be completely cooled. 

Now comes the best part: decorating the delicious gingerbread hearts

The decor sugar writing is particularly suitable for leaving sugary messages. To do this, twist off the cap of the tube and place the tip of the tube where you want it. We recommend that you first practice on a plate before you try your hand at the pastry. This way you can be sure that you get the perfect result on your pastry. The pen can be held in the same way as a normal pen. To write with the sugar, press your index finger and thumb together and the decocino sugar writing will come out the front. When you have applied the desired message, you should let the sugar writing dry. Otherwise, your sugar writing may smear. You can also use the sugar script to create thin patterns, such as floral elements. The decor sugar writing is also suitable for gluing sugar beads or other decorations to the pastry. 

The sugar writing is best suited for gingerbread. But there are so many more ways to use the sugar writing. Use the decocino sugar writing on cookies, cupcakes, Guetzli, cakes or cupcakes. It is important that this sugar writing should not be used on a wet surface. If you do, then the sugar writing would gradually dissolve and no longer look beautiful. If you want to use the sugar writing on cakes or cupcakes, you should cover the cake with fondant or marzipan. You sugar writing on fondant remains nice and firm and does not soften the fondant. The sugar sticks are available in different colors, so you have no limitation in creativity.
