@Metazoxan Eggshells are mostly calcium, and if you run a dairy-free diet that is also one-sided in other ways (like, you basically live on whatever you can scrounge up in public parks or whatever) then they might actually be needed for you to get healthy bones. (And the membrane that either sticks to the egg or the shell has collagen that can help your joints.)
So for a person that has been living on a true starvation diet - yea, eggshells can be a valid and useful supplement.
As for Amelias lack of skill - yea, she shouldn't have been a failure everywhere. Just in the "whisking and heating" department, and perhaps the classic "oh, let's put in a bit of this because it is also yummy". So the "insane amount of sugar is valid I guess. Hmm.. come to think of it, I suspect they just never considered that there might be actual recipes. So they just went with what they saw in the manga - sugar, eggs, butter, flour, and then guessed at everything else.
