L'amour en cage is the french nickname for the Physalis (cape gooseberry) and translates literally to mean 'love in a cage'. It's vibrant color and delicate silhouette inspired French patissier Rudy Chartier and when his wife and love Lisa Diamond presented him with a birthday cake decorated with physalis, the story of this delectable village patisserie was born.
Originally from Le Mans, home of the famous 24 hour endurance race and from a family passionate about cars, Rudy headed down a different road, instead learning the art of cooking and baking. After developing his skills in restaurants throughout France and Europe, Rudy met Lisa in London. After returning to New Zealand and producing a beautiful daughter, Mia, the Kapiti Coast called. Following a year at the Paraparaumu Beach market, Lisa and Rudy opened their Patisserie in Raumati Beach Village.
