Crumb the yeast in the milk and add sugar, salt, and oil.

Mix the dough in a mixer and pour in a bit of flour along with the food coloring.

Then add the flour until the dough is smooth but still a little moist.

Let the dough rise for 20 minutes.

Form into 16 buns and let rise for another hour.

Bake at 225 degrees Celsius (437 degrees Fahrenheit) in a regular oven for about 10-12 minutes.

Tie a silk ribbon around the bun and attach eyes.

My eyes were store-bought, but they can easily be homemade:

They can be made with first a white blob of icing and then a small black dot of icing—can also be made with fondant!
