1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F.
2. Grease a 6-hole mini loaf pan and sprinkle with flour. In a bowl, mix the flour, almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and yogurt. In a third bowl, beat the butter and sugar for 2 mins, until creamy. Beat the egg mixture and the butter mixture alternately into the flour mixture.
3. Spoon half the batter into 3 holes of the pan. Stir the cocoa powder and milk into the remaining batter and spoon into the remaining 3 holes. Bake for 35 mins, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 mins, then turn out on to a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
4. Mix the powdered sugar, egg white and lemon juice until smooth. Divide equally into 4 bowls and color 1 bowl green, 1 yellow and 1 pink. Leave the final bowl white. Spoon into 4 piping bags fitted with small, plain nozzles and decorate the cakes to look like wrapped gifts. Sprinkle with candy hearts and sprinkles and allow to dry. Dust with icing sugar.
