My cream wasn't as thick as I wanted it to be, but maybe it was because I had to substitute the vanilla bean for a dash of vanilla extract. Next time, I might add some sugar to the puffs (for those that I don't pump enough cream into hehe) and more sugar/vanilla/Nutella to the cream. Besides that, the recipe was great and I had a blast making them! Totally recommended :) On a little sidenote, I wonder . . . was the dough supposed to be really sticky? It was so sticky and thick that I could hardly squeeze any out the tube (but it might also be because I'm a total beginner at piping), so I ended up scooping balls with my cookie scoop (that works too! They hollowed out on their own, which I found amazing :D).

To answer your question, there is no secret to getting the shapes uniformed. As you can see in one of the photos where I'm using the piping bag to pipe, I just make a few circles to form the shape - kinda like a snail. (It was also my very first time making cream puffs!) But instead of having the top of the cream puff stick up like that, it's best to push it down so that the tip doesn't burn in the oven. I think it's fine if yours are slightly different shapes and sizes - that's the fun of making cream puffs! They will never be exactly the same. Maybe you need to just use the piping bag more often to get more practice and that way you can control it with your hands next time you pipe! Hope this helps and thanks for visiting our blog!
