The trick for me, is to cook the brown sugar with some butter and heavy cream, thus basically enough to dissolve the brown sugar. You could make this without doing this step, but your brown sugar would still be a little crunchy in the frosting… I'm not opposed to that, actually, but if you want ultra-creamy, you need to melt the sugar. Your brown sugar needs to be super fresh, moist, and free from lumps. The best brown sugar I have found is Target "Market Pantry" brand.

Scrape the beater, and the sides of the bowl periodically. The cupcakes themselves are simple to whip up. Brown sugar and butter are beaten until light and fluffy before infused with warm comforting spices.
