About Us
My name is Sunita.
Le Sud Patisserie began with a simple passion — a love for the timeless art of French patisserie and a desire to bring it to Auckland.
Our Founder Story
Trained at Le Cordon Bleu.
The bakery was founded by Sunita, a pastry chef trained at the esteemed Le Cordon Bleu. What started as a dream to craft delicate, refined desserts soon evolved into a boutique cake studio built on artistry, care, and attention to detail.
Sunita's vision: to create cakes and pastries that don't just taste exceptional — but also feel like little celebrations in themselves.
Baking Philosophy
A cake should be an experience.
Every dessert is baked to order, handcrafted with precision and love. Our philosophy revolves around balance: balanced flavours, balanced sweetness, and balanced textures.
Instead of relying on sugar overload to hide mediocre ingredients, we use real, high-quality ingredients so that every bite stands on its own. Moist sponges, subtle sweetness, fresh fruit purées — that's the Le Sud promise.
Our Craft
A limited number of cakes, each made fresh.
Le Sud began with a simple conviction — that a cake should be beautiful and balanced, never overly sweet. We take only a handful of orders each day so that every creation receives the attention of the atelier.
The Ingredients
Real fruit purées. Premium chocolate. Nothing rushed.
We reduce added sugar by building flavour from real fruit purées, keeping every cake moist and flavourful without being cloying. Our range includes light egg-free, rich vegan, moist gluten-free and luscious dairy-free options — indulgent treats for every taste and need.
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, our cakes stay fresh for five to seven days — so you can savour every bite.
Ingredients & Quality
Quality begins at the ingredient level.
By sourcing the best ingredients and avoiding artificial flavourings or fillers, we ensure our cakes are not only delicious — but authentically so. This commitment is what gives our cakes depth, richness, and a natural, balanced sweetness.
- Premium couverture chocolate
- Fresh New Zealand butter
- Pure fruit purées & seasonal fruits
