  <long_description>Our number one contender for the official frosting of fall.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>This intensely flavored maple-syrup frosting is a natural pairing with <a href="/recipes/27757">apple cupcakes</a> but would add a hint of fall to almost any sweet.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> To revive the chilled frosting, let it come to room temperature, place it in the bowl of a stand mixer, and whip with a whisk attachment until light in color, fluffy, and fully incorporated.</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitter with a whisk attachment and beat on low speed until syrup and sugar are incorporated, about 1 minute.</li>
		<li>Increase speed to high and beat until mixture is light and whipped, about 5 minutes. Use immediately to frost cupcakes, cakes, or cookies. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container.</li>
