Christy Tania Biography – Christy Tania Wiki

Christy Tania is a pastry chef and contestant on Dessert Masters 2024. She is the owner and head pastry chef at Glacé Dessert Artisanal, a dessert business with shops in Windsor and Emporium Melbourne.

Born in Indonesia, Christy graduated from Nanyang Business School in Singapore with a BA – Bachelor of Business Administration – and began her career at International Business Machines (IBM). She became IBM’s youngest-ever female Project Manager in Southeast Asia at age 23.

While at IBM, Christy also ran her own cake baking business on the side to express her creativity. When she began earning more from her baking than her day job, she went all-in to pursue her culinary dreams, moving to France to train at the École Nationale Supérieure de Pâtisserie.

Whilst in France, Christy worked with three Michelin star chef Alain Ducasse and at the Ritz Hotel in Paris, before moving to Melbourne to be with her partner. Christy became head chef at Om Nom in 2013. The dessert-only fine diner at the Adelphi Hotel was awarded a Chef’s Hat and Christy visited MasterChef Australia several times with incredible sweet sensations posing as tough pressure test challenges, always leaving contestants awestruck.

After three years at Om Nom, Christy became Executive Pastry Chef at the Langham Hotel before opening her very own Glacé Dessert Artisanal in Melbourne’s Windsor in 2017, where she is the owner and Head Pastry Chef.

Glacé’s philosophy combines classical French techniques with the latest culinary trends to offer a range of handcrafted cakes, petit fours, petit gateaux, macarons and ice cream. With Glacé now in two locations, Christy’s husband and fellow chef Luke Johnson works alongside her as they balance retail spaces with a healthy wholesale division, according to his Dessert Masters bio.
