    Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1 hour. Halve the dough, roll out in portions on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 3 mm. Use a template to cut angels (approx. 11 x 8 cm) from the dough. Place on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 8-10 minutes, let cool off. Mix icing sugar and egg white with the whisk of the hand mixer to a smooth glaze. If the icing is too firm, stir in some water. Divide the icing into 1 larger and 3 smaller portions. Colour the smaller portions pink, yellow and brown with food colouring and cocoa. Pour the icing into 1 disposable piping bag each.
