How to Make Mini Edible Gingerbread Houses! | Cupcake Jemma

[@auntiedough2488]

I used this recipe to construct a gingerbread village. It’s perfect! It rolls out beautifully and the finished cookie is nice and strong for construction. The best part is the flavour of the cookie...DELICIOUS! Using golden syrup in place of molasses is a revelation. I also add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

I just love this channel and seeing that this is 6 years ago and look at where Jemma and here company is today. Love the book and definitely gonna make some gingerbread cookies, houses or -man and woman! Thanks you.

[@IceWing278]

This is the most delicious gingerbread recipe I've ever tried! Practised these this weekend, so yummy!!

[@FayeNair]

We’ve been making these in South Africa every year for 3 years now. We now live in the UK and will be enjoying a winter Christmas for the first time! Obviously, these are on the menu. Thank you for such a reliable and tasty recipe!

[@tedmezo]

Great recipe! I live in the States so I used Honey instead of Golden Syrup and it still turned out really well :)

[@ronniemiller1495]

You could do all the sides and ends, let them dry, then do all the roof pieces. You could also put names on the mini houses and use them at a dinner party or family Christmas dinner as the name plates.

[@irgendeinphangirl188]

Ronnie Miller That name plate idea is amazing!

[@patpat6636]

Or a Christmas village cake, tiny houses, little trees, snowmen distributed so everyone get a decoration in each slice.

[@marykelly9698]

You are absolutely a rare little gem jemma thank you so much for all your recepies

[@jasperdiscovers]

I'm a dude in my thirties, yet here I am watching Emma make gingerbread houses. Not even ashamed.

[@Allissoncruzromer]

I like

[@flowerhobi1673]

Is this supposed to be something revolutionary

[@lilyfisher4548]

It’s jemma

[@Samvamos-g5d]

This is best recipe, everyone loves it. Not only is it easy it also tastes really delicious and not too spicy for children !

[@KubraEryilmaz]

I made these yesterday and everything went so good with this recipe!!! It was my first time and only one house collapsed😅

[@Arishalix]

How long time i'll hot IT in fridge?

[@smileygurl85]

A little late to the party but we had a family activity night on New Years Eve and my 3.5year old son had an absolute blast! Thanks for the template and the cookies were DELICIOUS! (We actually made them with 100% whole barley flour, due to wheat allergy, and they came out absolutely amazing and perfect!)

[@Heghineh1]

This is what we'll be doing this year with kids, no more store bought gingerbread houses :))

[@bibzygreen5530]

I agree as well.

[@thomasjackwigglesworth]

So true

[@jennifercolon6141]

Heghineh Cooking Show how did your homemade gingerbread house turn out last year?

[@YouTubeExplore777]

Yes they have so many additives in store bought. 😷

[@waheguru134]

Jemma and all the colleagues at crumbs and doilies I have been watching u for about 5 months now I know that's not a lot but I love u and ur baking I think ur so creative and I wish all of u a verrrryyyyy merrryyyyy chhhrriiisssttttmmmaaasss and a happy newwwwwwww yearrrrrr xxxxxx

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

So pretty! I don't celebrate Christmas but I always get excited seeing all these wonderful and pretty decorations during this season!

[@rayrayssundays]

made these as gingerbread men and they were a hit. Flavour is more on the milder side so if you dont like a really strong ginger flavour this is you go to. Super simple to make.

[@Outlander1785]

Thank you cupcake jemma! You have helped inspire my six year old to run her own bakery one day, every week she and I look forward to your videos. She would like to know if you went to "baking school" or if you learnt from experimenting at home?

[@gloriadematos2764]

You are so passionate and brilliant at explaining it to us👏Thank you for sharing this🙏Definitely giving it a try with my 2 girls👭

[@meredithchildress8001]

Hello! I'm going to try your gingerbread recipe! It sounds good and I'm excited to see you on here. Thanks!

[@wendywu8030]

This is the best gingerbread recipe ever. It tastes delicious. I've tried others that turned out rock hard. Cant wait for xmas now so can make them for friends and family

[@miaschu8175]

You could make a little Christmas wreath on the door with icing and the mini holly decorations. I think that I'll have a go next Christmas and make different flavours, like lemon, for those who don't like ginger.

[@MrBluefish0815]

These gingerbread houses look really cute! Might try it this weekend.

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Ikr :) good luck :)

[@jpc1147]

Thank you Jemma, Christmas is wonderful but you always lift my spirits. HAPPY HOLIDAYS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@jacquelineflowers100]

I love your little houses. I did this one year and they were so cute. You do great work.😊

[@flaviandias8570]

Wooow! I alws wntd to mk ds Gongerbread houses. Thank u Jemma fr ds wonderful tutorial. Wil def try ds fr Christmas.

[@ha6464]

thank you! easy to follow, easy to execute even for a newbie like myself. and the gingerbread tasted delicious, even to my small children. mine weren't perfect, but it still worked well.

[@SarahSmilesSC]

These are gorgeous. I can only hope that next year I might have the time and patience to actually make them myself...! So cute!

[@maddieloo412]

That is so cute! This is the video you should watch if you want to make a homemade gingerbread house!

[@justinafehr5756]

O my goodness those are so cool, I've got to make these. And please don't stop with these awsome videos.

[@madhutheblessed4845]

That's so beautiful and ........so lovely.Thanks for the lovely recepie !!!I shall try this today for sure!!!

[@garydaniels5662]

They look fantastic, Thank You Jemma.

[@sketchios5158]

why am I watching this 5 year late for the first time?! These are so cool for xmas decoration, ya best believe I'm making these asap this year

[@o0ChicaVerde0o]

Can´t wait to try them!! I always wanted to make gingerbread-houses by myself instead of buying the finish parts and only put them together but always thought it´d be way too difficult! This looks easy and very pretty. Thank you!!

[@luciaallo2521]

Espectacular!!! A very original and festive present. Always love your videos Jemma 😊👍

[@emmawestsoundhealing]

Loved this recipe thanks a mill!...ive tried so many of them...The Ultimate chocolate brownies are a winner too!

[@jordanl2317]

Do you recommend the Tate and Lyle's royal icing sugar? You used plain icing sugar with additional egg whites.

[@CupcakeJemma]

+Jordan Lawe Yes that stuff is pretty good too

[@jordanl2317]

CupcakeJemma Thanks! ;)

[@andreajirehsantos3657]

+CupcakeJemma hi i love your works

[@HelenaSantos-bg9fm]

Omg, they are the cutest little things, love it, love it, love it. Jemma, you're the best, I love your recipes, keep it up, giiiirl!! Also I loved your outfit in this video, you looked super pretty ^^

[@karikari6543]

This is perfect. I'm going to make them with my niece and nephews. Thank you CupcakeJemma!

[@wendyd9256]

Hi just want to say you inspire me to bake. Have just made these and turned out great. So impressed as this is the first time I've ever attempted anything like this - taste fab too:)

[@journeytothinify]

I believe I like the mini's better than a larger one. So cute!!

[@orangge386]

These are just too cute! Thank you for sharing ❆

[@caart6317]

Hi Jemma, what the syrup does to the dough and can we skip adding it?

[@AnnikaPanikker]

I have two family members allergic to any sort of ginger. Could I just leave out the spices and add vanilla to make the cookie dough? Also if I use castor sugar would it alter the texture of the cookie?

[@crabbyplo939]

What can I use in place of the powdered egg whites? Could I just use egg whites? Someone please answer. 😊

[@vikkitaylor6427]

Crabby Plo yes you can just use egg whites

[@JJSChannnel]

This was a great recipe! Our houses turned out great 😊 One thing I will say is that it was a tad sweet for my liking so I would recommend dropping a bit of the sugar off and kicking up the ground ginger if you don’t have a super sweet tooth 🦷

[@tw_cccc]

this is amazing! jemma, you are so creative!

[@Asaewen]

hi! I've never heard of golden syrup, can I just use some very fluid honey? And how many houses did you made with this recipe? :) thanks

[@juliajuliax]

Asaewen you can use honey ;) this recipe is enough for 3 houses

[@angiewong7637]

use molasses instead since ur making gingerbread honey kinda takes over the flavour and itll taste weird

[@lynnbongard5938]

Use molasses instead

[@mariajoannou9936]

awwww you're so clever Jemma, its gorgeous x

[@isabelbark1618]

Hi Jemma, love your videos but why do you use the mixer for this gingerbread but a food processor for the skeletons?

[@alveena_12]

Hey jemma! Cud you please tell me how many inches the whole gingerbread house is? Like from the bottom to the roof? PLS ANS PS: LOVE UR VIDS

[@FilbieTron]

These look so fun! Might just try one this year!

[@mysticarts8787]

Its soooo adorable Jemma

[@aadila1158]

"a wonky shack" hahaha....much love from South Africa

[@chaesteva7042]

I always check your channel for new uploads. I love what you make, seriously! I love them! Thank you! 💕☺️😍

[@josephineadam1051]

Thank youuuuuu! I’ve been looking for mini gingerbread houses idea!!!

[@viscabarca4504]

Thank you very much Jemma, I feel complete now because of you.

[@SmittenKitten.]

Loving the Peter Pan collar with that sweater! So pretty!

[@Spongesyellow]

I have to make 30 of these. What is the best way to store them? Sealed box? Cardboard box? or open?

[@wbflowersvt]

Lovely! What could I substitute for the golden syrup?

[@bethstones9957]

Black treacle

[@RazDazThemArt]

Ohhh so cute ✨🧚🏻‍♀️ and love 💕

[@annekevangorkum]

Best video, good , clear, quick but not to quick, no blabla-nonsens. And......lovely shirt you wear, Jemma. And also.... good normal, well educated use of the language, thank you, I'm fed up with al those:"Super, SUPER, MEGA etc. language-killers. "

[@kaylaaallen903]

am i the only one who watched these videos with zero intention of re-creating ?!!? (x

[@sharonbrannen5562]

+Kaylaa Williams No! I watched it because I LOVE watching anything she does :) I don't plan on making any gingerbread houses

[@kaylaaallen903]

Sharon Brannen neither do i !:) i hardly ever make anything more than a simple cupcake with a simple frosting but i love watching these videos

[@nazarethnunez6914]

totally! even though i am also a baker... i watch her videos because she transmits so much happiness through them

[@анниелниф]

+Kaylaa Williams yeah why not just to watch it for relaxation sort of thing ))) Me personally done quite allot from Jemas cupcakes and cakes but sometimes I like to do my ironing and watch her making things ))) like today i dislike gingerbread cookies and def will nevr make them ( never ?....)))) but i i enjoy watching Jemma do it LOL

[@анниелниф]

+Petra Robinson i agree with and I dont particularly like piping royal icing on things which is requires tons of patience .....may be I'll do it with my gran children in the future )))

[@user-fe6qf1ht6f]

i love how they're so detailed!!

[@xLeilanixAllenx]

could you add some kind of extract to the royal icing? like vanilla, lemon, almond...ect. or will that ruin it?

[@olivia6614]

I love gingerbread houses cause I love to bake like you

[@santhoshiniweerasinghe2942]

Wow really awesome. So cute & Stunning so simple too. Thank U so much darling 👌👍🤩🙏🤗😘

[@jack-iz4ek]

I love you soo much, you are the best youtuber baker by far, please never stop what you are doing because you make my week with your amazing recipes #welovecupcakes

[@astridb118]

You can use burnt sugar as glue as well. It is much more stable and dries faster, but doesn't taste as good

[@trilby9032]

thank you for sharing! your chrismas gingerbread town looks amazing! I'm gonna save the video for the next christmas!

[@sunitam92]

Hey Gemma can i use honey instead of golden syrup and what will be the ratio?

[@OneDayyRobotsWillCry]

Would this taste nice without adding the spices? Or is there a similarly sturdy recipe for a non gingery biscuit that I could use? Hate gingerbread but I'd love to make these!

[@Lolasparklezz]

OneDayyRobotsWillCry maybe a sugar cookie or a chocolate sugar cookie? I've seen some on Pinterest made out of pretzel sticks to look like a log cabin or graham crackers :)

[@OneDayyRobotsWillCry]

Christy Vasquez yeah I'm thinking a sugar cookie but can't find any sturdy recipes sadly. Also I'm not a pretzel fan and I'm in the UK so don't have graham crackers haha, but that's for the reply :)

[@Lolasparklezz]

OneDayyRobotsWillCry check hanielas here on KZbin , her sugar cookie is the best I've tried so far . Sturdy and holds shapes perfectly . She also has a chocolate version . Another I've heard of but haven't tried is by sweetopia 😬

[@veradeslegte3548]

Is there an alternative for the golden syrup? As I live in the Netherlands and they don’t sell that here...

[@gloriadematos2764]

Perhaps maple syrup or molasses🤔

[@ioanamoldovan9093]

Do i need the powdered egg white? I can't find it at the store.

[@natalierodriguez8562]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@natalierodriguez8562]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@emmamitchell370]

try a proper baking shop like lakeland. I'm sure there will be more recipes that suit normal egg whites

[@ioanamoldovan9093]

+Emma Mitchell thanks! But i'm from Romania..

[@ioanamoldovan9093]

+Sara Schagerström thanks! 💋💋

[@Tillysnow1]

Hey Jemma! Do you have any other recipes that would work as gingerbread houses but without the gingerbread? My family are not really fans of gingerbread.

[@lyndsayparmenter5627]

Most people don't eat the gingerbread houses as they sit out for at least a few days. Not to mention, cookies made specifically for houses are very hard because they are essentially walls lol. I wouldn't worry about your family eating your house. As for eating cookies, you could just do any cut out cookie and decorate it.

[@robynsmith2309]

Can you put the dough in the fridge or freezer if you don't want to use it all at once?

[@nikkamomb]

Me encantan tus recetas y como lo explicas

[@lunavandevelde2232]

Can I replace the golden syrup by honey en the powderd egg whites by fresh egg whites?

[@ccavforeva]

when you leave them to dry for a few hours, do you put them in the fridge or just leave them in the open?

[@aprilkim1929]

how long can you keep these for? just wondering if you plan on making them in advance before handing them out :)

[@aprilkim1929]

+Aron Whelan thanks! :)

[@xanora24]

What is golden syrup? I live in Spain. Can I switch with honey?

[@gloriadematos2764]

You probably could use maple syrup, molasses or honey🍯🤔

[@lynleverett-harbott1528]

Hi where can you buy powdered egg whites also no icon for template came up love your videos

[@hilafefer8770]

I can not get where I live pouderd egg whites... Can I use something else?

[@suhadnimri4675]

You can use meringue powder, or egg whites with cream of tartar

[@lannguy7545]

So cute! 😍 gonna make this with my little cousins!

[@nehalhosny9973]

Can i use fresh egg whites for the royal icing ?! And these 15 gms is equivalent to how many egg whites ?! Thank you 😍😍

[@fiorefer379]

I use one egg white and it makes la lot of icing. The consistency is great, it hardeness so good.

[@fiorefer379]

+Fiore Fer and no water

[@wmunza]

But if we're not baking the egg whites.. Will it be safe to consume?

[@gabtherianifica]

If I don’t like gingerbread, can I just skip the ginger? Or add cocoa powder instead?

[@hopecox]

Thank you for this how-to, from scratch! I always wanted to know this recipe with an accurate template and now I can! Merry Christmas, Jemma! :)

[@josykeully637]

Thank you for this lovely and very helpful video 😗💐

[@Istarbel]

I don't like gingerbread can I remove the ginger part and substitute in for something else or is there another recipe which doesn't spread so much which I could use to make houses with?

[@martharx6649]

I love you Jemma!! I love you shop as well u inspired me to bake and now I don't stop😂😂💞

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Same :)

[@meTubeInter]

they look good. What is the minimum time that you should leave the dough in the fridge to chill?

[@juliajuliax]

maria serghiou about 30 mins

[@estherpark5145]

these are so cute and seem really easy... at least easier than an actual gingerbread house... gonna do these :)

[@mybakingaddiction]

Hi Gemma! I made mini gingerbread houses using your recipe and template today and it was delicious. However I noticed that in the video you say to use 2 rounded teaspoons of ginger but in the description box, it says 1 rounded teaspoon of ginger. I decided to use 2 teaspoons of ginger. Anyways, this gingerbread recipe was really good but I just wanted to point out the mistake so other people know.

[@itsshwetas]

I'm so happy i saw this. I'm making the recipe but always go by the written quantities vs the video!

[@charlottesteele7471]

What royal icing sugar the easiest way to make royal icing? And how do you make it with royal icing icing sugar?

[@annievanders2870]

Is this one or two tspns of ginger ? video says two but recipe says one

[@SoniaJbrt]

This is a great idea! I have never made gingerbread houses cause who is gonna eat all that sweets? But this is genius!

[@fiorefer379]

Just in time for my project, thank you, thank you!! Can I use light syrup instead of the dark one?

[@fiorefer379]

Actually is light corn syrup instead of the golden syrup of yours...

[@taylormeg13]

Substitute with Honey instead.

[@fiorefer379]

+Beyond Twilight just made it, they are so good and simple. Made them with molassaes.

[@taylormeg13]

+Fiore Fer Good to hear!

[@caitlynyee8838]

How long do you put the dough in the fridge before rolling it out?

[@enzatoce8819]

Hi Jemma just found you on you tube, question You mentioned about a pdf print out on the mini gingerbread house and I cannot find it anywhere on your page. Are you able to post here please thanking you Enza

[@zsrefi8815]

In Hungary we use honey instead of golden syrup. It gives it a very good taste. :)

[@karliittha8]

soo cuteee!! love u Jemma! Merry xmas

[@MacBBakesTheCakes]

Same, merry christmas to you too :)

[@shannondean159]

hi just wondering how do you package them for friends? super cute. cant wait to try
