Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 24 cupcake cups or line with paper liners.
- Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat; stir brown sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon into butter until brown sugar has dissolved and cinnamon syrup is hot, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Sift cake flour with baking powder and salt into a bowl. Whisk milk, egg whites, egg, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, and almond extract together in a separate bowl. Mix 1/2 cup butter at room temperature with white sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer until pale yellow and creamy, about 5 minutes. Gradually beat flour mixture into creamed butter mixture, alternating with milk mixture, until batter is well blended. Continue beating for 2 more minutes.
- Beat cold cream with an electric mixer and clean beaters in a chilled glass or metal bowl until the cream is fluffy and holds soft peaks, about 4 minutes; fold whipped cream into batter. Divide batter among the prepared cupcake cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Spoon 1 teaspoon of cinnamon syrup into batter in each cupcake cup. Set remaining cinnamon syrup aside.
- Bake cupcakes in the preheated oven until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out with moist crumbs, about 16 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans and let cool upside down on racks.
- Place saucepan with remaining cinnamon syrup over medium heat, stir in pecans, and bring mixture to a low boil. Immediately remove from heat and pour pecan mixture out onto a wooden cutting board. Let pecan mixture cool completely and chop the pecan candy finely.
- Beat 1/4 cup butter at room temperature with an electric mixer in a bowl until soft and creamy; beat in cream cheese until blended. Add confectioners' sugar and a drop of vanilla extract and continue to beat on high speed until frosting is fluffy, at least 5 minutes.
- Frost cooled cupcakes with frosting and decorate each with a pinch of chopped pecan candy and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cupcake.
- Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the batter is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cupcake.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will allow the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cupcakes.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Cinnabon cupcakes are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can create Cinnabon cupcakes that are light and fluffy, with a moist and tender crumb. The cinnamon sugar topping and cream cheese frosting are the perfect finishing touches to these delicious cupcakes.
