I might do the ginger too. I love gingerbread cake. I really want to try a recipe that works with these wonderful small cake molds. I found on sale today a big bad of tiny sugared ginger at Cost Plus. Found a lot of stuff there, actually.
I love cost-plus. I miss many California stores, like Trader Joes. although I hear there is one about two hours from me. I do like candied ginger. or crystallized ginger. And fresh ginger in Chinese. Its just something about the dried stuff. But I love all the other ingredients in ginger bread so I might try leaving out the ginger.
I should go in there and look for those gingerbread houses...So cute!
