  • If you don't have any baking soda, you can use baking powder instead. Just use twice as much baking powder as baking soda.
  • To make sure your gingerbread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the gingerbread is done.
  • Let the gingerbread cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
