Süsse-mahlzeit: Vielen Dank! Sie haben auch wunderschöne Bilder auf Ihrer Website. Sandii & Christina: Simply pipe the batter in a heart shape instead of a round one. Draw the heart shapes on the back of the parchment paper as a guide if you feel the need to do so. You might also want to pipe them smaller than you'd like the final size to be since the batter might spread after piping.

You might like to try transporting them in a cooler and putting the macarons into the fridge immediately when you get to your destination. As for the colour, you can either try lowering the temperature at which you're baking the macarons and bake them for a longer time or protect the macarons from direct heat while they are baking.
