Pipe frosting using a piping bag fitted with jumbo round piping tip in a swirl on top of cupcakes. Insert two &quot;antlers&quot; in the top of each, with the smooth sides facing out. Gently press eyes into the top front of the frosting. Press a red candy nose slightly below the eyes in the center.
