Hi! I bought these macarons from a specialty bakery as a gift for my French teacher. They are indeed very pretty, but when I looked closely they seemed a bit cracked (the orange one from the bottom and the green one). I bought a few for myself too, and when I bit into them, the shell felt a bit hollow and it crumbled in big pieces.
Is this how artisanal macarons are supposed to be? I don't want to be ungrateful for the effort the bakers but into them, but for 2,20$€ a piece I would've liked the texture and look to be a bit different. Am I being too pretentious?😅

Youre gonna have to show them without plastic i think! And also show the inside, hard to give any opinion based on this photo.
Edit btw 2,2$ per piece sounds sort of cheap? 🧐 how much are they normally in the us?
Si j’etais votre prof de francais, I would *love* to receive these (but I’m not going to increase your exam grade, lol.)
I’ve eaten alot of purchased macarons from French bakeries in my country and let me tell you, at LEAST 50% have been hollow. And they still dare to charge $4nzd each👹
