A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component for gas turbine engines (10), the component having fine features such as thin edges with thicknesses of less than about 0.030 inches and small radii of less that about 0.030 inches formed using the combination of prepreg plies (40) layed up with non-ply ceramic inserts (650, 680). The CMC components of the present invention replace small ply inserts cut to size to fit into areas of contour change or thickness change, and replace the small ply inserts with a fabricated single piece discontinuously reinforced composite insert (650, 680), resulting in fewer defects, such as wrinkles, and better dimensional control.
