Teeny Tiny Gingerbread Houses

Not Martha did this back in 2009.... not an original idea.

SO CUTE! I want some/ want to make some!

I learned how difficult it is when we had a German exchange student who wanted to cook -using a recipe in German!

We went shopping, and he (a 16-year-old boy) needed an ingredient I'd never heard of. He described it as well as a teenage boy who doesn't cook much would, and his translation widget called it "Anorexia." I wasn't about to ask the Kroger staff for anorexia, but figured that nonfat yogurt was as close as we'd get. It worked, but I later found it was a kind of soft cheese only sold in Europe and parts of Canada. Cottage cheese would have worked better.

And he was stunned that I didn't have a kitchen scale. We did a lot of math, and the cake turned out fine.

Difficult to convert since a cup measures volume while grams are units of mass. Would a cup of feathers really weigh the same as a cup of lead? And if you're using either to bake gingerbread you're probably not going to get great results :o)

Pretty simple. 120 grams is a little less than half a cup, I believe, by about 5 grams.
You could probably google that pretty quickly, too.
