Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 25-35 minutes. Leave to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Remove the muffins from the tin and let them cool down on a cake rack. Knead marzipan and 50 g icing sugar. Colour approx. 2/3 of the marzipan pink with food colouring, the rest green. Set aside some of the pink marzipan for the pig's ears. Form the rest into 12 pig's heads. Pierce "nostrils" with a toothpick. Form small ears from the marzipan set aside and glue them to the head with a little water. Paint eyes with white and brown sugar writing. Paint "hair" on some pigs with white sugar writing. Roll out green marzipan thinly on a work surface dusted with icing sugar.
