My failed macaron batch at a neighbor's potluck split the whole group in two
Half the people said the cracked, hollow shells still tasted fine and the other half swore texture is everything, so who's really right when it comes to judging a bake, the flavor or the structure?

The neighbor who brought those macarons probably started a civil war over a cookie that costs like $3 at a bakery anyway lol. Honestly, cracked shells just mean you get to taste the filling faster, which is a win in my book. But I get it, if you're gonna spend hours making fancy French cookies, you want them to look like the Pinterest photo, not a tiny pie crust disaster. My vote goes to flavor though, because I once ate a perfect looking cupcake that tasted like a sponge soaked in sadness, and I still remember that betrayal. Structure is just the outfit, taste is the personality, and nobody stays friends with someone just because they dress well.
