Founded by Nina Melor in July 2024, MELORÉ is an artisan bakery dedicated to handcrafted macarons, custom cakes, and premium baked goods. Built on professional culinary training and years of international experience, the brand combines French baking techniques with creativity to deliver desserts that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
The bakery was previously known as Nina Melor Macarons before evolving into MELORÉ, a name inspired by Nina’s middle name, Melor, and the French word éclore, meaning “to bloom.” The rebranding reflects both her personal journey and the natural growth of the business into a broader artisan bakery.
A Passion for Baking Inspired by Global Experience
Nina holds a degree in International Culinary Arts from Switzerland and completed professional internships in Zurich, Albi in southern France, and Orlando, allowing her to develop a strong foundation in international pastry and baking techniques. After returning home in 2020, she worked as a macaron baker at a local bakery, where she refined her skills and gained the confidence to build her own business.
Today, MELORÉ is best known for its handcrafted macarons, available in elegant gift boxes, personalised event favours, and stunning macaron towers that serve as centrepieces for weddings, birthdays, corporate events, and special celebrations. The bakery also creates customised macarons in unique shapes and hand-painted designs, alongside bespoke celebration cakes, artisan focaccia, choux pastries, and freshly baked cookies.
Quality, Creativity, and Customer Connection
Every product at MELORÉ undergoes extensive research, recipe testing, and taste trials before reaching customers. Precise measurements, careful preparation, and specialised macaron templates ensure consistency in flavour, texture, and presentation. Producing macarons in small batches also allows the bakery to maintain exceptional quality while preserving the delicate texture that customers have come to love.
Customer feedback continues to play an important role in shaping the menu, with trending flavours such as Dubai Kunafa and Matcha Strawberry introduced in response to customer requests. While growing a home-based bakery through social media presents its own challenges, Nina has expanded brand awareness by participating in pop-up markets and community events, creating meaningful connections with customers through personal interactions.
Looking Ahead
As MELORÉ continues to grow, Nina hopes to collaborate with more brands while expanding the bakery’s reach through exciting partnerships. Her long-term vision is to open a dedicated physical bakery where customers can fully experience the brand’s handcrafted creations.
Beyond growing the business, she also dreams of introducing baking and cooking classes for children, encouraging creativity and inspiring the next generation of young bakers. With a commitment to quality, innovation, and personalised craftsmanship, MELORÉ continues to bloom into a destination for artisanal desserts made with passion and care.
