Vanilla Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

For this cupcake I used the same vanilla cupcake recipe I had used before, but from http://mingmakescupcakes.yolasite.com/ I found the maple cream cheese frosting.  It is super yummy.  Then I just added a maple sugar candy on top.  Simple!  The cupcake recipe is from my December 30th blog post and the frosting recipe is below.  The recipe frosts 9 cupcakes.

Maple Cream Cheese Frosting:

Ingredients:

4oz cream cheese

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 stick butter, room temperature

Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.  Frost cooled cupcakes!  Phew!
