Orange Macarons

I have been making ice-cream hence lots of egg-white sitting in my fridge..so i figured, why not make more french macarons (so i can practise too..hahaha..). I decided to make orange macarons with chocolate ganache with orange flavor & coffee macarons with coffee cream.

For orange flavor in the macarons, i added orange paste to give the macarons shell a tinge of orange flavor. For chocolate ganache (i used David Lebovitz's chocolate ganache) but to add that orange flavor, i added orange zest to the chocolate ganache and a bit of rum. I wanted to use orange liquor..but was too lazy to take it down from the high shelf so i added a bit of rum instead.
