Last spring I bought this pretty pegasus cutter and I had wanted to make a gingerbread pegasus carousel. Finally I had enough time to think about this project, but the whole carousel is definitely massive work, so I decided to make something like one carousel horse music box.

For the wings, I applied flooding icing with a paint brush, then piped shells using a PME 42 tip and pulled them with a damp paint brush. (I think I saw this type of brush embroidery technique somewhere online but I don’t remember whose it is...)

For the stick to hold the pegasus, I applied flooding grey icing on a lollipop stick with a paint brush and then applied pearl lustre powder.

For the pedestal, I filed each piece with microplane to 45 degree before icing and also after icing, so that the gaps of the joints are small enough to cover with teardrop borders.

This is just exquisite. I am fascinated by that wing.  Do you mind is I ask you how you did it?

Thank you! The wing is cover with something like brush embroidery. I piped shells with a small rope tip (PME 42) then pulled each shells with a damp paint brush. I found this technique on youtube or someone's blog, but I can't remember...

Absolutely beautiful, I love it!  I'm going to put your name in my calendar so I know who to credit when I try this technique.  Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you! This kind of brush embroidery is not my original, but I don't remember where I found it online...

Oh I just love this design SO much!!! Such perfection with every detail, as always . I, too, am totally fascinated by the brush embroidery technique you used on the wing. It's gorgeous!! The little details at the top of the peg and the little pedestal are wonderful ♥. The colors couldn't be more perfect. How did you achieve that beautiful dark blue color? What an ingenius idea to shape the pedestal in this way. I love it ❤️❤️❤️
