The evolution of a Gingerbread Man

Ginger People are my Christmas favorites! I love them as cookies, as cartoon characters and absolutely adore them as Christmas adornments including jewelry :) Look at these adorable little fellows, how sweet and jolly they are! 

I make them since always and now I want to show you the progress of my work so you can see the evolution of my Ginger People :)

This was the first attempt of making the jolly good fellows, back then in 2011. I've tried the best I could :D but at the time I loved them!

Then in 2012 there were some improvements, Gingies get more details and became cuter..

In 2013 they were a real hit and everybody loved them!

 

And my gingerbread babies even became celebrities:  Tihana aka Just Cake Girl and Nikolina aka The slice of Life wore them on tv. 

And even a famous pastry chef from Tortolandija Vanja couldn't resist them!

Then in 2014 gingerbread people got their own gingerbread village

  And yes, I love them too :)

But this year I think I've raised the bar up of my own limits. I'm really pleased with the quality of my work, the amount of details and the excellence of my skills!

So if you like what you see, feel free to stop by at my Etsy store, treat yourself or your loved one with a special sweet gift, because you can't be wrong, everyone loves gingerbread people :) And I have plenty of them!

Love,

Milushka

... iliti istinita priča o materijalnosti želja :)
Jednog ranog jutra prije par godina, dok sam nakon neprospavane noći pokušavala uspavati svoje nemirno djetešce, bezumno sam buljila u ekran potpuno stišanog tv prijamnika, upaljen isključivo u svrhu osvjetljavanja prostora. Inače ne gledam televiziju uopće, ali to jutro baš jesam. Vjerojatno sam to baš zato i zapamtila.
Na programu je bila ranojutarnja emisija Dobro jutro, Hrvatska!, baš je u tijeku bio informativni blok. I voditeljica, nečujno otvarajući usta, pričala mi je o strahotama što se svakodnevno događaju oko nas i u svijetu. Nisam marila baš. Ali zapele su mi za oko njene naušnice - neke neobične, velike i pomalo šašave. Mislim da su bile od filca. Baš smiješno, pomislih, žena vodi informativnu emisiju, a baš je tako simpatično neozbiljna :D
I u tom trenutku na pamet mi padne luda ideja: jednog dana će tako na Dobro jutro, Hrvatska! voditeljica nositi moje naušnice. Sigurno hoće, uopće ne sumnjam u to.
I danas je taj dan došao. Nije bila niti jedna druga emisija, nulti sat, plodovi zemlje ili duhovni magazin - ili kajaznam koje još postoje emisije na nacionalnoj dalekovidnici. Bila je upravo na Dobro jutro, Hrvatska!
Samo nije bila neka tam bezlika te bezimena voditeljica informativnog programa koji nitko ne gleda, već bilo je to nešto posve posebno! Bila je to omiljena od strane svekolikog blogerskog pučanstva Just Cake Girl, moja vječna muza, inspiracija i sada već draga prijateljica (čemu se iskreno radujem) - Tihana.

Kuhala je prefine muffine sa šunkom. Bila je preslatka. Sigurna. Rođena da bude pred kamerom. Zvijezda.
I nosila je moje naušnice. Da da.
Dakle, kao zaključak: želje jesu materijalne. Samo treba zanati točno što želiš. I ostvarit će se. Sigurno.
Kad tad.
:)
Maštajte i želite,
Ljubi vas vaša Milushka.
