Strawberry Macarons with White Chocolate Ganache

Yesterday baked this strawberry flavor macaron shells as I've kept the whites in fridge for 5 days already! Since the weather was quite good in the morning and afraid that the whites will turn bad after so many days, quickly get down in my work :D .....so so happy with this batch, all with feets and no burst, cracking or sticking!!! I've added some strawberry paste to the batter thinking that the colour will be pink after baking, but alas it is so pale and far away being pastel pink @-@ but luckily I managed to salvage it by brushing on some 'blusher' on them' !!! looks so different after touching them up with some pink dust powder!! the powder really works wonder!
