The cake artist
Meet Mariah
Hi, I’m Mariah. I was born and raised in Alaska, and I’m grateful to have built a life and business I love here in Soldotna. For more than ten years, I’ve created buttercream cakes and cupcakes that feel personal to each celebration and taste every bit as good as they look. From my home-based cake studio, I give every design the time and care it deserves before it becomes part of a wedding or celebration here on the Kenai Peninsula.

“I seriously cannot say enough good things about Mariah with Sugar Mountain Cupcakes 😭❤️ She did our cake and cupcakes for our wedding and OH MY GOSH they were SOOOO good!! We went with S’mores, Vanilla Bean, Lemon Blueberry and German Chocolate cupcakes and I’m not even kidding when I say they were GONE within minutes 😂 Every single person was raving about them and everyone left VERY satisfied!! Our little “cut the cake” cake was a moist tropical carrot cake and it was seriously AMAZING too. Everything was absolutely beautiful, tasted incredible, and fit our wedding perfectly!! Her pricing was also SO reasonable, especially for the quality and amount we got. You 💯 get what you pay for AND MORE with her!! Weddings are expensive enough as it is, so finding someone who does incredible work, gives you plenty for your money, AND has your guests talking about how good everything was afterward is seriously priceless. My ONLY regret is not ordering more cupcakes because apparently 96 was not enough 😂😂 Thank you Mariah for making everything so beautiful and delicious and for being part of our day!! If you need cupcakes or a cake for literally ANYTHING, go see her!! You will not regret it! ❤️🧁 ”
“Mariah is truly an artist! She took my vision and turned it into something even more beautiful than imagined. I wanted to try something a little unconventional, and she was so kind and patient about working with my ideas and bringing them to life. Every delicate detail was thoughtfully done. The cake was an absolute work of art, and it tasted just as incredible as it looked. I still look back at pictures and obsess over how exceptional the cake turned out. Every vision I had was brought to life & I couldn’t have loved it more. Best. Cake. Ever. 🩷”
