Add the Whisky and mix.

Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Place liners into 2 cupcake pans. Fill liners 2/3-3/4 full.

Let cool in pans for 1-2 minutes. Then transfer to cooling racks.

 

Making the Frosting

Add the butter to a large mixing bowl. Mix until creamy, 2-3 minutes.

Add the shifted powdered sugar, maple extract, and milk.

Mix on low until almost completely incorporated. Turn the mixer on high and beat for another 1 – 2 minutes until the frosting becomes light and fluffy.

Add ½ cup bacon pieces to your frosting. Fold in gently.

Add the frosting into a piping bag and pipe whatever makes you happy! Sprinkle with the pieces of bacon and top with a I inch piece of bacon to be fancy!
