⅔ cup butter
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 cup packed brown sugar
5 cups powdered confectioners sugar
¼ cup milk or cream

Instructions

FOR THE CUPCAKES

Bake according the the recipe, or directions on the back of the box.

FOR THE CINNAMON MAPLE BROWN SUGAR FROSTING:

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter.
Add in the cinnamon, maple syrup and brown sugar. Mix until combined and the mix is lighter and fluffy.
Slowly add in the confectioners/powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing in between each addition.
Once everything is combined thoroughly, slowly add in the milk, mixing well. The frosting should come together after mixing. It is not soft, but not stiff either. If it is too soft, add a bit more confectioners sugar. If it is to stiff add in a little bit more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, mixing well after.
