Each Macaron is larger than the christmas macarons by Antoinette and the ganache filling is really thick and sweet.
My favourite is this Gingerbread version because it has simply the richest festive taste of spice in its fillings.
The flavors in others were overwhelmed by the white chocolate ganache and thus were not distinct enough.
Texture wise, this nougatine filled center gave the additional crunch and a pleasant turn from jam or compote filled centers.
This "Dawn" mascarpone rum mousse with the expectedly sweet chestnut cream, bitter orange marmalade and vanilla sponge. The crunchy meringue is fortunately just a thin wall layered in the middle so this is very suited for those who are usually chased away by the sugar-high mont Blanc.
The " Dusk" is an ultimate chocolate decadence of made with good quality Amedei chocolate. Love that silky chocolate glaze which is a sweet contrast to the more intense bitter chocolate mousse though I did not quite agree that the chocolate sponge really fluffy. But crispy praline will always work for me and has come to be one of the deciding component when I choose a cake. Now the problem comes when this dark logcake seems to suffer under the heat more easily than the rest. (the base of my takeaway box was soaked in chocolate juice)
