Hi there! I've been lurking on this sub for the last couple days and getting helpful tips from older posts because I just got a stand mixer and decided to give macarons (French method) a try; I've been wanting to make them for years. I've made two batches so far (red ones are caramel apple, blue ones are cotton candy) and I have had so much fun making them!
I imagine it's just a lot of practice, but if anyone has tips on size consistency when piping the shells, I would be quite grateful! I start off piping really small and they get bigger as I go 😅 I do have a guide mat but I'm still having trouble making them all consistent.

Beautiful!
Amazing 👏
It could be the batter getting worked in the bag by your handling it as you go. The batter would be thinner and even though you follow a guide they could spread out more on the paper/mat.
These are fantastic! Great job!
