If Paul Bunyan had a signature scent, it would be the fragrance of this freshly torched maple frosting.
It filled my home with a warm toasted marshmallow scent and satisfied the desire for a pop color on top I was craving as well. Oh and it also takes less than 5 minutes to whip up (pun intended) and add to any cake, cupcake or pastry.
CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there. You can visit numerous producers, taste their wares, and grab some syrup or other goodies on your way out. In 2007 while visiting the various producers I picked up a bunch of recipe pages on all sorts of categories that were put out by Eat Smart New York which is part of the Cornell Cooperative Extension. These pages were funded by them and the USDA Food Stamp Program.
