For best results, ensure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting. Use a high-quality vanilla buttercream for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have red candy-coated chocolates, you can use red sprinkles or small pieces of red gummy candy for the nose. Get creative! Feel free to add edible glitter to the coconut flakes for a sparkly beard, or use different colors of sprinkles for a unique hat design. These cupcakes are best enjoyed within 1-2 days of making them.
