Dessert Masters 1-5

Tonight the Dessert Masters kitchen has been transformed into a scene from a quintessential Aussie country town. A table is laden with country classics: lamingtons, vanilla slices and custard tarts.

There's no room to crack under pressure in the first Dessert Masters elimination, as our pastry powerhouses are challenged to Smash It by creating a dish that smashes or cracks.

In a double elimination contestants are cooking a Christmas dish that means something to them. Curtis Stone brings presents fruit for each contestant that they need to hero in their dish.
