  4. Shape the nose by pushing the fondant up slightly at the bottom.
  5. Create eye holes with the bottom end of a paintbrush.
  6. Shape small ears from brown fondant into teardrop shapes, indent the centers, and attach to the cupcake.
  7. Create antlers from white fondant, shaping into elongated teardrops, indent the centers, and attach above the ears.

  9. Add tiny white fondant dots to the eyes for whites, attaching with a small amount of water.
