Great Frosting Recipe To Go With Spice Cake?

I have not yet made the spice cake, but this week I made the ginger maple cakes from the Williams Sonoma acorn cake pans and it had a maple flavored buttercream frosting. Everyone loved it. You just make a regular all butter buttercream and add a tablespoon or two of maple syrup in place of the water/milk (liquid to make the right consistency)
I made spice cupcakes this week with white chocolate smbc. I used Melysa's recipe from CC. Yummmm!
I recently did a wedding cake that was buttermilk spice and I covered it in white chocolate cream cheese buttercream and it was wonderful. Nice flavor combo
white chocolate cream cheese buttercream .......yummm, would you share that recipe??? oh my gosh, my mouth is watering 
My family's all-time favorite.......orange! I just use orange extract in place of the vanilla, and as soon as the cake is gone they're begging me to make it again!
Oh, and if you wanted to try a different spice cake recipe, I just made the Tomato Sauce Spice Cake (I think that's what it was called) in the recipe section, and it was AWESOME!!! You can't taste the sauce, even in the batter, I think it just helps to keep the cake moist as it's a dense cake in itself. The batter (yes, I had to taste test it!) tasted very strongly of cloves and I was certain I wouldn't be happy with it once cooked, but all the spices blended so well together and it was delicious. And I don't even like cake!
Sure I'll share the recipe
White Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream
9 ounces white chocolate
1 1/2 pkgs cream cheese (room temp)
5 tblsp butter (room temp)
1 lb confectioners sugar
Melt white chocolate either over a double boiler or in the microwave (30 seconds at a time) While chocolate cools slightly cream butter and cream cheese until fluffly. Add melted chocolate to cream cheese and butter mix. Add, slowly, 1 lb confectioners sugar. If you beat this mixture on too high a level it will get air bubbles in it so beware. It is soooo yummy. Hope you enjoy
Thanks momma28, I'll print this out asap, can't wait to try it, my DH thanks you too!
...ooohhhh more great ideas! How can I choose???
Thanks everyone!
Maybe I should make a spice sheetcake. Divid it into four and choose four of those suggestions. Or make petit fours with four different frostings under the glaze! My mind is whirling! 
I'd have to time the making of it since I'm on the Fat Loss For Idiots, diet. Every 11 days you get three days off and can eat what you want. Just have to remember to never get full! Just wanted to lose that 15 lbs. that I've put on!
