- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper liners. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, butter, 1 tbsp cold water and a pinch of salt. Process until smooth then wrap in plastic and chill for 45 mins.
- Mix together milk, yogurt, 1 egg, vanilla extract and oil. Sift in remaining sugar, remaining flour and baking powder. Distribute between paper liners and bake for 20-25 mins. Let cool for 10 mins in pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut out a 5 x 1 1/2 inch rectangle out of parchment paper then shape into a shoe sole (tongue shape). Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick then cut out 12 shoe soles using template. Transfer to prepared tray and bake for 7-9 mins. Let cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, for the royal icing, mix egg white, 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar and 2-3 tbsp lemon juice until thick and smooth. Set aside 1/3 then spread remainder over pastry 'soles'. Set aside to dry.
- Beat cream cheese, remaining sugar and 2-3 tbsp lemon juice until smooth. Divide between 3 bowls. Color 1 bowl red and 1 bowl green. Leave remaining bowl white. Cut a small section from edge of each muffin at an angle. Spread cream cheese frosting over cupcakes (4 red, 4 green, 4 white), reserving 1/5 of each color of frosting to decorate.
- Secure cigarettes russes cookies onto underside of shoe soles with reserved royal icing as "heels." Position other end on cupcakes. Use remaining cream cheese frosting and decorations to decorate shoes. Let dry for 3 hours before serving.
