The Icing
- Cream together the Butter, Cream Cheese, Vanilla, and Maple Extract.
- Add in the powdered sugar and mix.
- When done, the icing should be creamy as shown. If it is too stiff, add in a tbsp of water at a time until it is creamy.
- Once the icing is done and the cupcakes are cool, pipe icing onto the cupcake.
The Bacon
- Take Rizer’s Bacon and cut strips in half. Place strips of Rizer’s Bacon on a baking pan- preferably one with sides to keep the oven clean!
- Cover strips of Rizer’s Bacon with a generous amount of brown sugar. Bake at 350°F for approxmiately 15 minutes or until done. Using tongs, remove bacon from pan and place on plate to cool.
- Once the candied bacon has cooled, it is time to place your bacon strips on your cupcakes.
- Once you have built your cupcakes, dig in and enjoy! To add more maple flavor, drizzle the top of the completed cupcakes with pure maple syrup!
