I Have To Admit,

when I first looked at these gingerbread biscuits,

I at first thought that the decorations had somehow been printed,

 but I was so wrong, photographs Mézesmanna/Instagram,

 Judit Czinkné Poór runs a cake-decorating shop of the same name in the Hungarian city of Ajka, is famous for her ability to turn simple gingerbread cookies into edible masterpieces,

 Mézesmanna (~Honeyed manna) drew international attention back in 2016, Her incredibly detailed embroidered-like treats received the most attention, 

 the Mézesmanna brand was founded in 2012, when project manager Zsanett Odett Papp asked her good friend Judit Czinkné Poór to bake some of her delicious gingerbread cookies for some foreign business partners,

 the treats were such a huge hit that Zsanett decided to ask her friend to start a business together, 

 Judit is now a famous pastry chef, but her original profession was porcelain painter, which somewhat explains where she gets the patience to hand-paint all those tiny details on her gingerbread cookies, She uses a powder-based or gel-based paint, similar to porcelain and tints them with food coloring, so that they are edible,

 creating these little edible wonders requires a bit of time, primarily because the work is done in stages. First, the gingerbread cookies have to be baked and left to cool. Then the base glaze is added and left to harden, and only then does the decorating begin. Judit Czinkné Poór reportedly needs about an hour to work her magic on a batch of cookies,

ever since gaining international attention online, back in 2016, Mézesmanna has become an international brand. Unfortunately, while people all over the world love the shop’s “lace-covered” cookies, the company doesn’t have enough capacity to meet demand, so it focuses on training instead, Judit Czinkné Poór has been traveling the world, including to China and Russia, teaching the secret to her intricately-decorated cookies to other food artists, “Hispanic countries are the most amazed by our patterns, they are very creative people and love design objects like these. Even foreign confectioners and gingerbread-masters want to learn from Judit. However, most of her ‘students’ are not professionals, they just join the courses to relax,” Zsanett Odett Papp said,

and for anyone wanting to be inspired, here is the video, they all just look way too good to eat!
