The Great Australian Bake Off Claudia Anton Wiki
One of the three finalists, Claudia Anton, has a relation with baking since childhood. She is a psychiatrist and a mother of two children.
She expressed,
“I’ve been baking since I can remember and I used to bake with my Mum who’s German,”
she added;
“Mum and Dad used to own a restaurant in Mt Macedon, and we have always been a food-orientated family. I used to bake scones for Devonshire tea in the adjoining tearoom when I was growing up; I baked after school and borrowed cookbooks from the library.”
She described that she experiments on baking while her family is asleep. Anton also said about her daughter,
“The kids like my baking and my daughter says her friend wants to always come to our house for parties because of the food! ”
Not only her daughter but her son also asked for a snow cake for his birthday.
The Great Australian Bake Off Barb Dunn Wiki
Dunn’s first baking experience started with a chicken. She expressed,
“I was exhibiting chickens at my local show as I used to breed them, and my friend said why don’t you put cakes into the competition,”
Laughing off, she continued,
“So I did, and I won prizes! And that was my first baking experience.”
Barb Dunn is also a mother of two daughters for whom she baked birthday cakes. Barb, who is from the field of Applied Science, enjoys baking. However, she is intimidated by the feedback from the judges.
She says,
“I’m not nervous, just more worried about receiving criticism and I’m still pinching myself that I’m actually here!”
The Great Australian Bake Off Dave Yan
As a way of expressing himself, Yan uses baking as a way. He opened up, “As I’m not professionally trained, I have no boundaries and can let my imagination go wild – and I use my cakes to express myself,”
Some people named him as a cake wizard for making weird stuff. He once made an upside-down elephant cake.
Ten years ago Dan moved to Australia to study and works in banking and Capital Markets. Apart from his banking field, Dan is a champion in baking who received multiple prizes.
Dave won the 1st prize three times at the Royal Arts Show, and he came in 2nd position in the Australian Cake Decoration Championships.
