Make the cupcakes according to the recipe or directions on the package. You can determine the taste yourself, but keep in mind that the buttercream has a chocolate taste
Let the butter come to room temperature and put it in a large and high bowl
Start mixing the butter on high.
Add about 1 tablespoon of milk to this and keep mixing
Now the powdered sugar can be added. Don't do this all at once, but little by little while you keep mixing.
Once all the icing sugar has been mixed, set about 1 tablespoon aside (this is necessary for the eyes)
Then gradually add half of the cocoa to the rest
Keep stirring until it is a smooth and creamy mass. If it becomes too hard, add a little more milk, if the cream is too runny, add some powdered sugar
Spread this buttercream on all the cupcakes with the knife (smooth and spread over the entire top). Make sure there is still 1/3 left
Mix the remaining buttercream with the rest of the cocoa powder (the color should darken, because this will be the snout)
Add a little milk if necessary
Transfer to a syringe and pipe a circle on the front of each cupcake and spread with a knife to form a nice circle. Keep about a teaspoon of the buttercream
Put a red round wine gum on this as the nose
Make eyes with the white buttercream and make pupils with the remaining brown chocolate cream
Set the bretzel on top like antlers. Whole bretzels have been used in the photo, but these can also be halved and put upright
The cupcakes can be put in the fridge to stiffen.
