I'm not a big fan of maple, but I still enjoyed these twists. The dough was really good and the glaze was nice and sweet.

These twists were amazing! The dough was so soft and fluffy, and the maple glaze was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again.

I had trouble getting the dough to rise, but I still managed to make the twists. They weren't as fluffy as I would have liked, but they still tasted good.
