Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Line a 12 cup muffin tin with baking cups.
3
Put all the ingredients except for the milk into a food processor and blend until smooth. Pulse while adding the milk down the funnel to make for a soft consistency.
4
It doesn't seem like enough, but you can get enough into each baking cup, just scrape it all out and try to fill each one equally.
5
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden on top.
6
Cool on a wire rack, but remove from the tin as soon as possible.

Before you decorate, slice off any mounded tops so you have a flat surface to decorate. Icing: Mix the sugar, egg white and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, it should have the consistency of heavy cream I always break the batch into smaller batches so I can have different colors When my girlfriend made these for my shower, she frosted them with a bright pink icing, sprinkled them with iridescent edible glitter and topped it with an edible (gum paste) rosebud.

Very very cute!
