SWEET Tooth Marshmallows, a growing name in artisan confectionery, has received national recognition after its Raspberry Marshmallows won a Bronze Medal at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards.
The handcrafted treats are the creation of 14-year-old Patrick Dale, who has already made a mark in the gourmet food world with his modern take on the classic marshmallow.
Patrick, who was named Australian Tween Entrepreneur of the Year in 2023, said the award was a dream come true.
“We are so excited and honoured to be recognised by the Sydney Royal Fine Food Awards,” Patrick said.
“I started Sweet Tooth Marshmallows because I love creating fun, delicious treats that make people smile.”
Judges praised the Raspberry Marshmallows for their vibrant fruit flavour, light and fluffy texture, and all-natural ingredients.
The recognition places Sweet Tooth among Australia’s top producers of gourmet marshmallows, known for their quality ingredients and small-batch craftsmanship.
Patrick launched Sweet Tooth Marshmallows in 2022 at just 10 years old.
“My business started… when I asked my Mum in our local Woolworths at Lake Cathie: why are there no chocolate marshmallows and why shop-brought marshmallows lack flavour?”
Since then, the business has developed a loyal following at markets, festivals and online.
The brand has previously collected Gold, Silver and Bronze medals, further cementing its reputation for creativity and consistent quality.
The Sydney Royal Fine Food Show is regarded as one of the nation’s leading food industry competitions.
It is judged by experts who celebrate excellence in flavour, innovation and quality across a wide range of categories.
