Would anyone be able to share with me any idea's for making windows that look like there's glass in them? I'm doing a cake for a college grand opening of a new campus 0and they want it to look just like their new building, and there's windows EVERYWHERE! Thanks so much in advance.
Rice/wafer paper comes to mind or gelatin sheets. If it is cake, it won't be see thru as a gingerbread house. So, don't necessarily think it has to be clear. I used sticks of white gum for some of my gingerbread house windows in the past. You might need to try a few things. Fondant or chocolate would work.
You might do some searches for gingerbread house windows and look at all the possibilities, then do what is easiest and/or looks best.
HTH
A while back I saw one of the chefs on the Gingerbread Mansion Challenge, on the Food Channel, make clear "glass" windows out of poured sugar, in a silicone mold. And another time, I saw someone use gelatin sheets for window glass.
Good Luck! 
You've probably already moved on since this question was last posted but I ran across it while browsing. But I did just see some instructions on the internet that said you can use crushed Life-Savers for stained glass. Neat idea and pretty inexpensive too.
Or you can melt Jolly Ranchers hard candy..there is a flavor that is clear white. But make sure it gets to the shape that you want.
