I’ve been baking macarons for quite a while but one thing I’ve still been struggling with is bubbles. I know I’m supposed to pop them as soon as I am done piping, but when I do, it leaves a dent or crater. I feel like I have to choose between a little bump or a dip and I never have totally smooth shells.

I usually stick the toothpick in and give a little jiggle/swirl to even out the dent. Just make sure you do it while it’s still fresh/wet or it won’t set right
Are you whacking the tray on the counter after piping? I do it 4 times, hard enough to scare family & pets. This does wonders to eliminate bubbles.
