- Lay out the bacon strips on steel foil and sprinkle it on both sides of the bacon.

Doesn’t that look delicious…
Cupcakes

- Fill in the batter to about 2/3 of the cupcake liner and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check from about 18 minutes.
Maple buttercream frosting
- Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the icing sugar in small batches, add the first batch and beat the butter and icing sugar together.
- Add the vanilla essence and maple syrup.
- Add the next batch of icing sugar.
- To have an extra kick, add in a tablespoon of Jack Daniels
- Add the rest of the icing sugar and mix well until it reaches a smooth consistency.
Once the cupcakes are cooled. Frost them with the buttercream.
I garnished it with a piece of bacon, a star shaped cut out waffle and also a drizzle of the maple syrup.
