could do just a normal icing recipe, icing sugar, boiling water and butter with red food colouring, red sprinkles for elmos fuffly look and for orange nose kool fruits maybe or orange icing and the smile you could use sheets of black licorice and cut out smile or black icing and for eyes make a batch of white icing and a batch of black. do a big white dot and a smaller black dot on top

Just a tip... . . When it comes to the red food colouring. . don't buy the run of the mill hansell's or Queens colouring from the supermarket as it's only going to turn the icing a pink/hot pink colour. . although, you might want pink! ! But if you want a true red, buy a gel colourant or a powder from a cake shop.

my stepdaughter made some a while ago. it could have been her. she said it was red food colouring and coconut in the mixture. she said there was quite a bit of coconut so try that.
