They sound delicious don't they? And they are too!! I made these cupcakes for my families Thanksgiving dinner. Pumpkin, cream cheese and maple syrup go very good together. We all enjoyed them :)

Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

( Adapted from Ina Garten)

6 ounces cream cheese, softened and at room temperature

3 tbsps unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 tsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups confectioner's sugar

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese and butter on low speed wuntil smooth. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. With the mixer still on low, slowly ass the confectioner's sugar and mix until smooth.

I piped the cream cheese frosting with a Wilton tip 1M and drizzled some more maple syrup on top. Delicious!!
