Jaffa Mac's and gingerbread Mac's

So, i have attempted to make jaffa cakes in the past and now it was time for jaffa macarons!
I got the idea from Yauatcha in Soho who has the most amazing pastries and macarons - and they do a jaffa mac which inspired me to try and replicate it.

I made the shells in an orange/yellow colour and made some orange jelly and a dark chocolate ganache which i piped onto the jelly discs and sandwiched them together. I also made some candied orange peel for decoration (not worth the hard work by the way) and then i dipped half the macaron in melted 70% dark chocolate and added some orange peel.

The gingerbread macs got a fetching purple colour with some bronze sprinkles on top. The filling was a simple white chocolate ganache with some gingerbread spices.
