Bespoke Trophies

Honouring culinary mastery at the Celebrity Masterchef Finals

Manufacturing a custom trophy for the UK’s most prestigious culinary competition is no easy feat. This year, Gaudio was thrilled to once again create the iconic Masterchef trophy for the celebrity finals, which saw Strictly’s Vito Coppola take home the glittering prize. We mixed all the right ingredients to cook up a stunning one-of-a-kind trophy, which was truly worthy of commemorating celebrity culinary success.

Discover how we brought the 2024 Celebrity Masterchef UK trophy to life below…

A tasty brief

Celebrity Masterchef is one of the UK’s biggest household culinary TV shows, which sees celebrity contestants battle it out over a period of 8 weeks to create the most delectable dishes that will impress the likes of its honorary panel. A trophy that is fit for the likes of former-England rugby union player Phil Vickery and gold-medal Paralympian Kadeena Cox must be visually appealing and recognisable in its design, with a carefully curated material selection that is guaranteed to stand the test of time. 

Celebrity Masterchef once again commissioned Gaudio to design and manufacture a 3D bespoke trophy that was fit to crown this year’s King of the Masterchef kitchen. We blended the original timeless logo with some fresh, tasty ideas, serving a showstopping trophy that is worthy of a chef’s kiss – more on that below…

Flavoursome designs

The Gaudio approach to crafting custom trophies begins with in-house design. The iconic Masterchef UK trophy design takes its star flavour from the quintessential logo, which holds centre stage throughout the show. This entire design of the Masterchef trophy is focused around the curvy “M” shaped logo, which stands tall on a tiered aluminium base for added height and dimension. 

Our team blended creativity with passion to design a digital 3D render of the trophy, which was then shared with the Celebrity Masterchef team for their approval. Thanks to the accuracy and detail provided within the 3D render, the producers were able to visualise exactly how the trophy would look in the arms of their celebrity champion.

Cooked to perfection

What is the Masterchef trophy made of, and how did our expert team cook it to perfection? The Celebrity Masterchef UK trophy started its life as a sheet of solid aluminium. Our engineers peeled and chopped this in-house using a specialist CNC machine to create the signature “M” shaped Masterchef logo; a manufacturing process which requires extreme precision and care, much like the delicate art of cookery. 

Next, we shifted our focus towards the presentation of the trophy. The cut metal was run over a series of high-speed brushes to create a high-shine finish, giving the trophy its premium shiny silver flavour. We slotted the trophy into the two-tiered aluminium base and gave it a final clean, ensuring it looked brand spanking new in time to present to the winner.

A recipe for success

Our team simmered and sauteed away for 4 weeks to create 2024’s signature Celebrity Masterchef trophy. The result? A truly tasteful trophy that was lovingly crafted from our tried and tested in-house recipe, blending the premium shine of classic aluminium trophies with its fun, contemporary shape. This custom trophy serves as a permanent reminder of Coppola’s culinary mastery, which can be marvelled upon for many years to come.
