I paired this with the recipe Cream Cheese Cookie Cups from this site. I used sugar cookie dough instead of chocolate chip and used almond extract instead of maple. Very versatile recipe that would be good with any type of flavoring added. Thanks!!!

Delicious and so easy. I substituted carmel flavoring for the maple extract and that was very good too.

The taste was good, but the texture wasn't what I expected. Maybe I didn't cream the butter and cream cheese well enough. I did as others did and put in 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 1/2 tsp maple.

I didn't want to buy maple extract just for one cake, so I substituted syrup for the extract and about half the sugar...it made it a bit runnier, of course, but it's a very intense maple flavor and goes really well with the maple nut cake on this site. I also used neufchatel cream chese and light butter, and it tastes delicious!

This should be called "Maple Cream Cheese Icing" as the cream cheese taste is stronger than the maple, which as written is not very noticeable. It is still good though, a nice light icing. Next time I will follow the advice of other reviewers and add more maple flavoring. Thanks for the recipe!

This is awesome!! I added more maple and put less vanilla per other's suggestions. The consistency was perfect and the flavor was just was I was looking for. I used it on some carrot cupcakes. mmmm

Very good, with some minor changes. Only used 3 cups of confectioners sugar. Also used 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 and 1/4 tsp maple. Everyone at work raved when I served it on spice cake.

This is a great recipe! Just what I was looking for. I used this on "Best Brownies" from this site and it was great! I cut the recipe in half, but kept the whole amount of maple flavoring, plus I drizzled in a bit of pure maple syrup. I used Neufchatel cream cheese for this recipe. It's a keeper!

I couldn't really taste the maple. Tasted to me more just like cream cheese icing but I thought it was excellent. It was really yummy on my white cake and everyone loved it.
