1 teaspoon (4g) maple extract
2 Tablespoons (26g) maple syrup

2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, slightly softened

1 Tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
2 teaspoons (8g) maple extract

We used additional maple syrup to lightly brush the layers. We also sprinkled toffee bits between the layers and pressed additional toffee bits into the frosting for the bottom border.
We created impressions in the frosting with a small offset spatula and piped stars and dots around the top border with a 2D star tip and tip 3 round tip.
