  4. For the buttercream melt 50g of the butter in a pan with the muscovado sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of the milk and stir to form a thick toffee sauce.
  5. Beat the remaining butter until smooth. Then sift in the icing sugar and add the toffee sauce (save 2-3 tablespoons for later) stirring thoroughly.
  6. Finally, pipe the buttercream on to the cupcakes, drizzle with the remaining toffee sauce and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
