Channel 10’s brand new cooking show Dessert Masters has two superstar judges up its sleeve; Amaury Guichon and Melissa Leong.
And, the hosts aren’t the only familiar faces on the show. Unlike MasterChef, Dessert Master’s doesn’t have home cooks battling it out, instead, some of the most well-known personalities of the Australian cooking scene are competing.
Amongst the contestants are celebrated pâtissier Adriano Zumbo and legendary pastry chef, Kay-Lene Tan.
