Grease muffin tin with 12 wells well and sprinkle with flour. Fill approx. 2/3 of the cavities with dough. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the tin and allow to cool on a cake rack. Sieve the icing sugar, add the egg white and stir until smooth with the whisk of the hand mixer. Remove 2 x 2 tablespoons from the mixture and colour orange or green with food colouring. Spread the muffins with white icing. Let them dry a little bit. Put the coloured icing into two small piping bags and squirt a carrot onto each muffin.
