Gareth Whitton was crowned the winner of Dessert Masters 2023 in an emotional grand finale episode on Tuesday night.
He walks away with the title of Australia’s first ever Dessert Master and $100,000 in prize money.
The pastry chef picked up the highest score from judges Melissa Leong and Amaury Guichon for his final dessert, beating out Jess Liemantara and Reynold Poernomo.
‘I never really expected myself to be here in the finale, of all places. I backed myself in the cook. I mean, full credit to the guys,’ he said after his win.
‘We gave it everything we had, and… ..You know, for me to come through at the end is unreal.’

Each time that I’ve been in here, it’s definitely steered me into a path and a career that I truly love and…..Enjoy to be in and be a part of, and I’m so grateful and so thankful.’
