Gareth Whitton was the head pastry chef at Dinner By Heston Blumenthal before launching Tarts Anon as an online side hustle during Covid lockdowns. It soon snowballed into a hit retail store in inner-city Melbourne, Australia and an appearance on MasterChef Australia. Gareth does the baking, while his partner Cat – a speech pathologist with a knack for dessert logistics – oversees everything else.
