I have a passion for baking!

My cookies are custom-designed, baked in small batches and hand-decorated. Perfect for a dessert, given as a gift, or individually wrapped as party favors for a wide-range of events.

Kat Melchiorre, Owner + Artist

Hi, my name is Katherine, Kat for short. I was born and raised in Kansas City. I always knew I had a passion for baking and creating sugar art! In 2012, I graduated from the Art Institute International of Kansas City with an associate’s degree of applied science in baking and pastry. I started as a pastry prep/line cook and moved my way up to an Executive Pastry Chef for restaurants and country clubs. I now own and operate Kat’s Confections full-time!

Now for my cookie journey!

In 2012, I stumbled across the blog of Sweet Sugarbelle and spent hours reading and going down the rabbit hole. When I was ready to finally dive in and try my hand at cookies for the first time, I tried a cookie set with a simple color palette and I knew I was hooked! This began my hoarding of cookie cutters, sprinkles, and food coloring. Little did I know, this activity to pass time would turn into what it has today!

Fast forward to now and I cannot believe the progress I’ve made! The journey to get where I am today took inspiration from fellow cookiers, hundreds of google searches, several hundred YouTube videos, thousands of hours of practice, and millions of trial and errors. I can finally say that I am beyond proud of the work I am creating.

It is my deepest honor to be a part of so many memories in another person’s life. I put my heart and soul into every cookie I create. I cannot explain the feeling I get when I see someone’s face light up because of the art I have created.  It makes all the trials and tribulations worth it a hundred times over.  Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me live out my dream.
