Tips:

Make sure the doughnuts are completely cooled before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off.
Use a small spoon or brush to apply the glaze to the doughnuts. This will help you control the amount of glaze used and prevent the doughnuts from getting too soggy.
If the glaze is too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of water or milk. If the glaze is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a little bit of powdered sugar.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors of glaze. You can use different types of maple syrup, such as dark amber or golden amber, to create different flavor profiles.
You can also add other ingredients to the glaze, such as nuts, spices, or extracts, to create unique and delicious flavor combinations.
