Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tray with cupcake liners.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, white chocolate, brown sugar, and golden syrup together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk the milk into the cooled mixture until combined.
Sift the plain flour and self-raising flour into a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir them into the batter until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
For the frosting, beat the unsalted butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the caramel sauce and milk, beating for an additional 2-3 minutes until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Pipe or spread the caramel frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
Decorate as desired (e.g., with a drizzle of caramel sauce or sprinkles) and serve.
