I LOVED this recipe! Used light cream cheese and it was a bit soft but so yummy. Frosted the A-1 Banana Cake on this site and it was delicious. My husband was even tempted to lick his plate.

Amazing! Put this in pumpkin whoopie pies and on gingerbread cake - it makes anything and everything delicious. Makes a ton, though - do a half batch unless you are frosting the inside/outside of a cake.

I tried this as a frosting for carrot cake muffins. Decided to add extra maple syrup, and a spoonful of almond butter, as well as a few teaspoons of vanilla. I only had whipped cream cheese on hand which worked fine, also did not need as much sugar, was plenty sweet for my taste.

Too sugary! The basics are good, but if you use the full 4 cups the sugar flavor is overpowering. I need a great maple cream cheese frosting on my pumpkin bread, but good grief this one takes some altering. I have revised to 8 ounces of cream cheese (much easier to buy/measure), 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup and salt to taste.

Excellent! This frosting is so good! I used it as a filling for Pumpkin Whoopie Pies from this site and it worked very well. I halved the recipe and only used about 1-1/2 cups or so of sugar and it was just sweet enough. Yum. Thanks!

This is wonderful. I love maple flavor, so I added a bit more. I also tried combining this recipe with the recipe for whipped cream cream cheese frosting. I LOVE it and so does everyone that I have made it for.

WOW! This is frosting is amazing!!!! I put it on the "Simple White Cake" that is on this site.... I also added a few teaspoons of milk because it was a little thick for my liking... I will be making this recipe again... Thanks for sharing Caitlin...

Wonderful icing. Easy to make and tastes great. I served it sandwiched between 2 cinnamon apple oatmeal cookies - outstanding!

Great recipe - I changed it to 6 servings and then used only about 2 cups powdered sugar, maybe less (all I had). And based on another commenter's suggestion, I added about 1/2 tsp. maple flavor. It turned out a little loose (due to not having enough sugar) but very tasty and perfect for my needs. I'm going to serve it with some zucchini banana bread and let people spread their own on the bread slices. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think the proportions call for too much sugar.
