From biscuits to sugared almonds, personalised with the child's name.
Lollipops, sweet containers and party favours: Mélanie carries one theme through the whole celebration.
Lollipops that make your eyes shine
A ring of daisies surrounds the name and age on a five-centimetre isomalt lollipop flavoured with natural aromas.
A little pot for the sweets
Topped with Liberty floral fabric printed in France and a biscuit-shaped label engraved by Mélanie with the name and date.
A keepsake party favour
A cloth bag decorated with a cold porcelain medallion: here, a fox that extends its bouquet of dried flowers.
Shortbread biscuits to match the party theme
Capybara, unicorn or dinosaur: a decorated shortbread biscuit with the child's name and age, individually wrapped.
An announcement to keep
To announce a birth or christening: a baby photo and a decorative rainbow biscuit matching the card.
A knight for his 4 years
The themes follow the passions of the children: here, a knight on his horse, around the first name and age.
Mélanie’s workshop
A factory born in her kitchen.
In 2013, Mélanie made shortbread biscuits with her daughters and shared her creations on her blog. The first orders arrived, and La Fabrique de Méline was born.
"I don't have any stock: every creation is made on demand, just for you."
Mélanie, La Fabrique de Méline
Since then, in Châlons-en-Champagne, she has designed personalised biscuits, lollipops and decorations for christenings, birthdays and corporate gifts. She draws her designs, makes her own biscuit cutters and decorates each creation by hand.
Some call her the biscuit fairy. A self-confessed food lover with a passion for colours and Christmas, she has kept her childlike imagination, visible in every creation.
Mom of two girls, she baptized her youngest when the eldest was 18 months old, and she knows what a family party is to be prepared with a baby in her arms.
Good as well as beautiful: selected ingredients.
A food lover with high standards, Mélanie selects every shortbread ingredient for its flavour and origin.
-
Churned butter
For its nutty flavour, with no added preservatives.
-
Jura flour
Ground by a family-run flour mill founded in 1848.
-
Organic eggs
Laid by free-range hens.
-
Vanilla sugar
A Bourbon vanilla pod from Madagascar infuses at least three weeks.
Her shortbread biscuits measure 7–8 cm depending on the shape and are individually wrapped. The lollipops keep for eight weeks in their bags, away from heat and moisture.
Biscuits to keep as mementos.
The medallions decorating her sweet containers and party favours are made of cold porcelain. They are not edible and can be kept for years.
Hand-shaped decorations also feature on some announcement cards. An optional magnet on the back turns the party favour into a displayable keepsake. Mélanie also makes edible announcements for those who prefer a treat.
Free printable party kits.
On her blog, Mélanie shares free kits for decorating a birthday or christening without buying everything.
- Bear
- Dolce Vita
- Fairies
- Dinosaurs
- K-pop

- Bridgerton

- Vintage goose
- Capybara

Depending on the theme, kits include cake toppers, photo booth props, colouring pages, games or posters. She also offers downloadable christening guides, from placemats to checklists.
Order calmly for D-Day.
Handmade takes a little bit of time, ahead: Mélanie advises you to order three weeks before the party.
- Step 1
Customize
Specify the name, date, colours and other wishes when ordering. For an announcement card, she sends a proof within 48 working hours and revises it until you are happy.
- Step 2
Let her create it
The manufacturing takes 10 to 15 working days. Biscuits and lollipops are prepared about ten days before the party, to arrive fresh.
- Step 3
Receive
Tracked delivery with La Poste or Mondial Relay, or free collection in Châlons-en-Champagne by appointment.
