Craving a maple bar?

My husband wants me to make a cake!

I used to do it quite frequently when we were first married...but haven't in quite awhile now :)

Anyway, he just has to have that scrumptious maple flavor you get at the doughnut stores...and I found the most perfect recipe in an unusual place:

But what's a husband besides a big baby anyway?

MAPLE FROSTING

This frosting makes a great topping to maple cupcakes or any cake. Use it to add a fall touch to your desserts.

INGREDIENTS:
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened

PREPARATION:
Blend all ingredients except powdered sugar until well blended.
Blend in powdered sugar until mixture reaches the consistency of frosting.
If mix is too dry or thick, add a small amount of softened butter until consistency is correct.

If mix is too wet or runny, add more powdered sugar.
