The course recommends restrained editing of brightness, contrast, shadows and saturation so the food still looks natural. It does not prescribe one warm, cool or vibrant preset for every bake.

Start with consistent light and compare the edited image with the actual product. For the particular phone making colours look grey, the model-specific settings still need checking.
