/ 3 hours ago February 12, 2026

From Insider.

Chef and restaurateur Camari Mick breaks down dessert scenes from movies and TV based on realism.

Mick discusses the accuracy of fine-dining dessert ingredients in FX’s "The Bear," the baking techniques in "Chef" (2014), and the pitfalls of processed foods from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." She also gives recipe suggestions for the cookies from "Friends," dishes on the current and past culinary trends from "Bridesmaids," and breaks down the emulsions from "The Menu." She analyzes the accuracy of bread from "Kiki’s Delivery Service," marmalade from "Paddington 2," and beignets from "The Princess and the Frog."

Mick has been cooking for over 12 years, having worked at several fine dining restaurants in New York City. She most recently worked as the executive pastry chef at the Michelin-starred Musket Room. She is chef and owner of the forthcoming L’Atelier Ebene.
