Meet the People Behind the Cupcakes 🧁💜

Mariah - Owner & Head Baker

Mariah purchased The Divine Cupcake in 2015, never imagining just how much the bakery would become a part of her life. She was later diagnosed with celiac disease and lactose intolerance, which completely changed the way she experienced food and baking.

That experience became the heart behind Divine’s mission: everyone deserves to enjoy delicious treats, regardless of dietary restrictions. What started as a bakery became a way to create beautiful, indulgent desserts that people with food allergies and dietary restrictions could enjoy without feeling left out.

Brianna - Bakery Manager & Mariah’s Best Friend of 30 Years

Brianna and Mariah have been best friends for 30 years, and honestly, they’re so alike that when Mariah isn’t at the bakery, it’s basically like she’s still there! They basically share the same mind and the same vision.

As our bakery manager, Brianna makes sure everything, right down to the very last detail, is perfect for our customers. She keeps everything running smoothly and brings the same care and attention to Divine that Mariah does. After 30 years of friendship, there’s probably no one who knows Mariah (or Divine!) quite like she does.

Sy - Creative Genius & Flavor Artist

Sy is Mariah’s niece and has been part of Divine since she was young, helping out at festivals and growing alongside the bakery. She is a creative and artistic genius who has an incredible gift for dreaming up the most unique and delicious flavor combinations.

Some of our most fun and unexpected ideas have come straight from Sy’s creative mind and we’re always excited to see what she comes up with next!

Marky - Event Coordinator & Manager 🧁

And then there’s Marky, our beloved cupcake!

You may recognize him from Oregon Country Fair, where he proudly spends his days running around in a giant cupcake costume. But behind the cupcake is one of the most important people keeping The Divine Cupcake moving during all events.

Marky has been friends with Mariah for well over a decade and over the years, he has become the glue that holds our festivals and events together. As our Event Coordinator and Manager, Marky is the planner, the visionary, the problem-solver and the person making sure all the little details come together.

He’s always on the lookout for festivals and events that align with our values: from vegan festivals to unique, inclusive community events throughout Eugene and beyond. Once he finds the right fit, he makes sure we’re prepared, organized, and ready to bring our cupcakes to the community.

We’re incredibly lucky to have his creativity, dedication, and friendship as part of The Divine Cupcake family. Every great event needs someone behind the scenes making the magic happen, and for us, that person is Marky.
