My name is Dwan Bryant, baker and owner of The Maple Pig Cupcakery. I’m a born and bred country girl from The Blue Ridge Mountains from a tiny town called Hot Springs, Virginia.  I moved to Williamsburg at age 7 and have been a local ever since! 

Growing up, I spent lots of time in the kitchen with my mom and plenty of summers with my grandparents who were both career chefs.  I am a firm believer in spending time with family surrounded by good food because food is love! 

I have been baking for friends and family for the past 15 years, and now I am delighted to share my love for baking Southern-style treats with you! I am happy to share my passion by creating custom cupcakes and cakes for your next special event or sweet craving!  I initially began my path to my official business in December 2018 catering to family and friends for their special events.  It has now transitioned into a licensed and insured cottage bakery from my private kitchen in Williamsburg, Virginia.

I'm a proud mom of two growing boys who keep me super busy and have been my resident "product testers" in the kitchen since I started my journey!!  Recently widowed, I strive to double the love I put into everything I create and work hard to bring my clients many of the same desserts that my husband loved so dearly during our time together and from his own childhood.  Between my strong faith in God and my family, they are the driving forces in why I do what I do.
