Maple Bacon Cupcakes

I made mini maple bacon cupcakes (thanks to Vanilla Garlic's blog) to bring to Nibbe's afternoon cupcake party. I think they were a hit... definitely a surprise to all as they ate the salty and sweet cupcake. (I'm sure it goes without saying that Mike liked them... they are made with bacon after all.)

I think I would have liked a little more maple flavor... or maybe I'll add a dash of cinnamon next time! I have run out of icing but have a couple of cupcakes left that I think I'll dip into maple syrup... just to make sure they don't go to waste ;)
