  Pretty good. Frosting tastes like a Maple donut bar.

  I made this item for my daughter's girl scout troop and it was a hit.

  Made this dessert but instead of cupcakes, I made a 9x13 cake. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. The cake itself had a wonderful texture but I could not taste the maple. I am going to try maple extract next time rather than maple syrup so the maple flavor comes through! Same with the icing - it was delicious but I couldn't taste the maple. So, I will try maple extract rather than the syrup next time!
