When cooking or baking, how much do you prioritize aesthetics?

Made some pumpkin muffins and realized how in a lot of my cooking, I don't care too much about uniformity or presentation.

I'm pretty functional about it - like the meal and my previous creations speak for themselves. If I'm making something for a party or whatever, I try to make things look a little better, but I 100% prioritize flavor and texture more than anything else.

Other people who cook/bake, what are your thoughts on visual presentation?
