- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the butter and continue to beat for 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Slowly add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time and beat until smooth and no lumps of sugar are visible.
- Add the vanilla and cinnamon and beat until combined.
- Frost your cupcakes and enjoy!
