Years ago I made two Ginger Bread Houses for my niece and nephew. They were very excited and according to their mother, after they snacked off the candy, nuts, and chocolates I used for decoration, they put the remainings of the house into a plastic container and had all of it, to the last crumb.

Since then, every year I am getting hints about how delicious that Ginger Bread was…This year they are going to get Ginger Bread Buses.

This German Ginger Bread recipe contains “Potassium carbonate” as an ingredient, a leavening agent that gives the Ginger Bread its characteristic flavour and allows for longer storage of the cookies.
