desserts for the modern wedding
Kate Smith Soirée specializes in alternative wedding desserts that steps outside the norm of traditional wedding cakes. We love everything that makes our couples unique and using the creative process to showcase that through a perfectly curated dessert display. After serving hundreds of couples, it still never gets old getting to work with each couple's unique vision and bringing it to life! It's our goal to show couples (and your guests) that you don't have to serve cake if you don't want to and there is a whole world of desserts out there!

“My husband and I were look for a unique/modern way to offer desserts at our wedding, and Kate Smith Soiree delivered! Her team of talented bakers created the most fabulous (and delicious!) dessert bar for my guests. Not to mention the most beautiful burnt orange ombre French macaron tower with a cake topper that we had as our wedding cake. Kate is a creative, well-established, and well-respected vendor in the greater Kansas City area. I promise you will not be disappointed! She will work with you to deliver your vision for your big day. I am also so grateful to have chosen her as a vendor because I was a COVID bride and not only did I have to reschedule my wedding, but she was so accommodating as my guest count constantly fluctuated due to restrictions. I look forward to working with Kate again on many future events!

“Kate was fantastic throughout the entire process! We were pretty positive that we were going to go with her before our tasting based on the reviews and photos of her work that we had seen, but we were definitely sold after the tasting. The flavors and bake on all of her sweets were amazing! We went with the macaron tower, brownies and cake pops and Kate made the most gorgeous display, it was everything I had imagined! My photographer even mentioned that it was the most beautiful dessert table spread that she had ever seen, and I couldn't agree more! If you're looking for something a little less traditional than a big tiered cake, but still incredibly classic and gorgeous, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend that you consider Kate Smith Soiree for your wedding or any event. I will definitely be recommending her personally to all of my engaged friends as well as searching for an excuse for another macaron tower ASAP!”
