Maple Cream Cheese Frosting/Icing

makes enough for 20 cupcakes

Ingredients:
8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 C. Unsalted Butter, softened
2 tsp. Maple Extract
4 C. Powdered/Confectioners Sugar

Method:
1) In either a Stand Mixer or using a large bowl with a Hand Mixer, beat the Cream Cheese til it's nice and soft
2) Add in the Butter and cream together with the Cream Cheese until fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed
3) Beat in the Maple Extract
4) Slowly, add in the Powdered/Confectioners Sugar a little at a time, with the mixer on slow speed
5) Combine until well incorporated

Keep refrigerated
If there's anything leftover, store in a zip-top bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days or in the freezer for about 3 months.

With this recipe, I like to make Pumpkin Cupcakes, from a box!

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost/ice as desired (I used a piping bag with a large open star tip to generously top each cupcake).

I love adding toppings. Here I used Heath Toffee Bits.

These cupcakes come out fantastic!
 
karadekoolaid yes, 4 dry cup measures of powdered sugar, that sounds like a lot, but given that it's so "fluffy", unlike Brown Sugar being dense and packed in the cup.
I tried my new Russian Piping Tips with this recipe of Icing, NO BUENO!!! Far to soft.
