Frosting
- While the cupcakes are baking and cooling get out the cream cheese and butter and let them come to room temperature. The frosting will be smoother if they are not chilled.

- Add in the powdered sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon and mix until the frosting is spreadable. If it is too thick add a few tablespoons of milk or cream.
- Pipe onto the cupcakes for a swirly look.
Caramel Sauce
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring the sauce to a rolling boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes.
