Maple Syrup Frosting

We’ve all had a few catastrophes 😲 in the kitchen. One of mine was with frosting…
 
I was in my early 20s’ and I just finished baking my first homemade chocolate cake – it was my mother’s recipe. As a frosting, I wanted to have a nice coffee flavor. I grabbed a cook book 📗 and attentively followed the instructions… well, perhaps too closely.
 
The recipe was calling for 1 cup of coffee ☕. Nothing was mentioned that it was a cup of “brewed” coffee. Yep, that’s right! I literally took a full cup of instant coffee and added it to the mixture. After adding ½ pound of sugar to it, I realized that I couldn’t rescue it and went to my supermarket to buy a premade one.
 
For years to come, I never made any icing from scratch until a friend 👩‍🦰 of mine took me under her wing and showed me how easy it was. From there, my fear of screwing up was gone and I never went back to the premade ones after that!
 
There are so many flavors to choose from depending on the cake/cupcakes 🧁 you bake. It can be the classic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting, Coca Cola Frosting, Raspberry Frosting, Coconut Buttercream, Orange Icing, Cream Cheese Frosting, Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting, and many more…
 
One that I enjoy using because of its taste is Maple Syrup Frosting! It’s another delicious and outstanding recipe to have. The mix of sweet and tangy flavor alone gives a nice taste to your baked goods 🍰. With its lovely, creamy and smooth texture, this is perfect for decorating your baking!
 
The Maple Syrup Frosting is quick and easy to make. It takes about 10 minutes ⏳ to whip up this delicious icing! The most important thing to keep in mind is to use “real” maple syrup… not table syrup. That’s not the real stuff!
 
After all the ingredients are nicely mixed, prep the piping bag with your chosen piping tip, fill the bag up with the frosting and chill it for 25 to 30 minutes 🕞 before decorating. For some reason, it works better that way.
 
With sugar shacks opening their doors for the season and Easter 🐰 around the corner, this scrumptious Maple Syrup Frosting is an amazing recipe to make! It’s a delightful change for your cakes and cupcakes. Here’s a fabulous recipe for you to try… Maple Walnut Cake!
