Although smoking ground mixed spice is not recommended, there have been no documented cases of any harmful effects from the inhalation of its smoke upon combustion. While other substitutes may provide a safer alternative for the use of ground mixed spice in pumpkin pie spice, often, people are left with little alternative (when faced with dire circumstances). To evaluate whether its use is appropriate in your household, you should first consult a physician. Side effects include sleep walking, paralysis, among other neurological dysfunctions, and vague and irrelevant dreams.

How important is ground ginger in spice cake?
Ground ginger is probably the most important ingredient in spice cake. The ginger comes through more than any other spice in the cake. However, it is generally very tolerable at the same time. Spice cake without ginger is not spice cake.

What is the difference between ginger and ginger root?
If your recipe asks for Ginger root, it is the actual root you find in the produce section, that is is asking you to use. in some recipes it is for the flavor, but often ginger has a medicinal characteristic. If you have powder, that is the dried and ground form of the root, and it will not be the same measurement. It also depends on what you are making- if you can substitute the powder for the root.
Can ground ginger be used in a recipe that calls for minced ginger?
Ground ginger can NOT be substituted for crystallized ginger--that is something quite different. Otherwise, you are fairly safe to use ground, minced, and grated ginger interchangeably unless the ginger is being used for garnish purposes (sushi, for instance). The thing to remember is that ground ginger is exponentially more potent than fresh ginger. Ultimately it comes down to a matter of personal taste, but I rarely use more than a few pinches of the ground stuff.
What is a substitute for ginger paste?
Common substitutions are allspice, mace, cinnamon and nutmeg. It should be noted that contrary to popular belief, allspice is not a blend of spices, but rather a single, individual spice. So, allspice is safe for those with a known allergy to a specific other spice. The best choice will, of course, depend upon the recipe and the desired flavor. You can't match one spice's taste perfectly by using another. You won't be able to make "gingerbread" or "ginger cookies" without using ginger. You can, however, make a suitable alternative. For other recipes, the goal is to choose a spice that will add the particular type of flavor you are looking for from the desired spice. If it's a nutty flavor you want, choose nutmeg. If you are looking for a pungent flavor, choose allspice or mace. You may find a blend of the others gives more of the taste you desire. If the recipe in questions calls for candied ginger or pickled ginger, you will obviously want to choose other substitutes. Because this is related to an allergy, the nurse in me feels I must remind you that pumpkin pie spice may contain ginger. Some blends are cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, while others add ginger to that combination. Be sure to check labels carefully.
