Recipes are meant to be broken! No one will blame you if you stop right here and eat all the cupcakes. When I bake, a few cupcakes seem to disappear between the cooling and frosting stages.

Use a cupcake corer to remove the center and fill with a little extra frosting!

Or make a layer cake! Why make a recipe, when you can break a recipe?

After missing out on cupcakes for 7 years, I swear my whole body grinned in delight for days!

But cupcakes aren’t complete without frosting… my favorite thing about this frosting, other than the amazing maple flavor is how quickly it goes together. It’s no different than making a traditional frosting from scratch!

I shared these cupcakes with a group of stampers over the weekend and got rave reviews!

“They’re delicious!” “They taste like a homemade cupcake!” “I’m taking an extra for my daughter in-law!”

Everyone deserves safe food! Let’s frost some cupcakes!
