For an extra touch, sprinkle the frosted cupcakes with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. If you don't have shortening, you can use all butter in the frosting, but the texture might be slightly different. Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
