Got a potato for a PC, try this model for free on the Stable Horde

Welcome to the Fustercluck! My new favourite model, and I hope you enjoy it too :)

The new version has been tweaked to give great results with Euler A sampler, 50 steps at 832x1216 resolution without any post-processing.

If it's not cartoony enough, you may need to add "anime, cartoon" to the front of the positive prompt to push the image in the right direction. You can push this model towards anime or more realistic by heavily weighting the prompt and putting the alternative style keywords in the negative.

And if you've come this far, why not come a little further. Here's a recipe for you all to enjoy!!

Gingerbread

150g unsalted butter

• 70g Brown Sugar

• 70g White Sugar

• 200g treacle

• 2 tsp ground ginger

• 2 tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ground cloves

• ¾ tsp baking soda

• 1 large egg, size 7, lightly beaten

• 4 cups High Grade Flour
  

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160˚C (320 F). Line two baking trays with baking paper.

2. Cut the butter into small lumps and place in a large mixing bowl. Place the sugars, treacle and spices in a heavy-based saucepan and stir with a wooden spoon until melted together and the mixture comes to the boil.

3. Add the baking soda and stir again until the mixture froths up and turns a pale gold.

4. Remove from the heat and pour the treacle mixture onto the butter. Stir well until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth.

5. Mix in the egg, then sift the flour and stir in, one cup at a time.

6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead lightly until smooth.

7. Divide in half and shape each portion into a rectangle. Wrap in greaseproof paper and chill for a few minutes if the dough seems too soft to roll easily.

8. Roll out one piece of the dough at a time to 5mm thickness. Cut out shapes and place on the prepared trays. The dough will be quite soft to begin with and you may need to use a spatula to lift the biscuits. You can re-roll the scraps several times – the dough does not get tough.

9. Bake for 15–20 minutes until firm to the touch and just beginning to brown. Leave on the trays for a 1–2 minutes then place on a wire rack to cool.
