04 Step
Recipe View
Transfer the frosting to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly before using. This will make it easier to spread or pipe.
For a richer maple flavor, use Grade B (now labeled as Grade A Dark Color Robust Taste) maple syrup.
Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth frosting.
Avoid overmixing the frosting, as this can cause it to become too soft.
If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
This recipe yields enough frosting to generously frost a 9x13 inch sheet cake or a 2-layer 8-inch cake.

Mar 1, 2024Try chilling your mixing bowl and beaters before making the frosting. This helps keep everything cold and prevents the frosting from becoming too soft."
