Daniel

Dan is an energetic, outgoing creative scientist-turned-baker who blends bold flavours, innovation and a sense of fun in the kitchen. After years in cancer research, Dan decided to channel his passion into the world of baking, becoming a recipe developer and content creator. Originally from Italy, he draws on his Italian roots to infuse every bake with love and authenticity. No stranger to reality TV, Dan was a runner-up on The Great Australian Bake Off and featured talent on Dessert Masters. Known for his colourful, glittery creations, Dan specialises in crafting unique desserts that turn ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. Whether he's hosting pop-up events or sharing his latest recipes from Dan's Bake Lab, his goal is to make baking an unforgettable experience. When he's not whipping up sweet treats, Dan enjoys sipping coffee, traveling, and exploring the vibrant food scene in Melbourne. In the kitchen, there’s always a celebration – whether he's busting out a dance move while frosting a cake, tossing glitter like confetti, or putting on an impromptu kitchen concert. For Dan, baking is more than just a craft – it’s a full-on, glitter-filled party!
