Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) while you prepare the batter.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla sugar, and gingerbread spice mix.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the oil, milk, and honey. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Divide the batter among muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and heavy cream until light and fluffy.
Frost the cupcakes with the cream cheese frosting using a spoon or piping bag.
Garnish with gingerbread cookie pieces or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
