• To make the icing, melt the butter. Add the maple syrup and milk, and combine well. Then add the sifted powdered sugar, and stir to combine.
• ICING TIP: If the icing is too runny, let it sit for awhile or add additional powdered sugar. If it's too stiff, add a few more drops of milk (very slowly). When the pumpkin cakes are cool, drizzle the icing over the top and let them ooze down the sides of the cake.
