Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes. Knead the dough on a floured work surface again, then divide into 12 pieces. Press an Easter egg in the middle of each piece, then form into balls. Line the hollows of a muffin tray (12 hollows) with paper baking cups and place the dough balls inside. Cover and let rise for about 20 minutes. Spread 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of butter on the 12 balls. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 25-30 minutes. Take out, remove from the pan and let cool down. Knead marzipan and icing sugar. Quarter the marzipan. Colour 1/4 yellow, 1/4 orange, 1/4 red and 1/4 green. Cut out or shape leaves from the green marzipan.
