Pastry Opening of the Year AWard

Impressive newcomers to the pastry scene that deserve recognition

Sponsored by

Originally a pandemic pop-up, Melbourne’s Tarts Anon from former Dinner by Heston head pastry chef Gareth Whitton and partner Catherine Way, has stood the test of time. Early fans had to collect their tarts, in flavors of lemon and rhubarb or sour cherry and almond financier. When the couple began taking orders online, these quickly sold out. The solution? To open not one but two Melbourne pastry shops in the past year, in the Cremorne and Collingwood neighborhoods. Queue for whole, half or single slices of tarts described by Whitton as “approachable but refined”. We’ll race you there for the smoked pecan & butterscotch or cherry & gingerbread.
