Hydrate the yeast with warm whole Santa Clara milk. Let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate. In a mixer, add the flour, sugar, salt, egg, previously hydrated yeast, and mix for a few minutes. Add the orange blossom essence, zest, cream, and butter. Work the dough for about 15 minutes on high speed or until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Weigh 85-gram balls for the bread, 10-gram balls for the little rolls, and another 3-gram balls for the center. Shape the rolls and place them on a greased and floured baking sheet, brush with egg yolk, and let them rise for another 15 minutes. Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool. For the icing, mix the powdered sugar with the milk. Glaze the rolls with half of the mixture on a rack, covering completely. Let dry. Divide the remaining icing into bowls and color with vegetable dyes. Place each color in plastic bags, cut a tip, and decorate the rolls to your liking. Let them dry completely and serve.

Tips

Apply several layers of icing to ensure it is well covered. Work the dough enough to develop gluten, as the high fat content will make it heavier than normal. The fermentation of the dough will be slower due to its heaviness.
