Our Story

A friend’s request for a chocolate wedding cake in 1994 provided the seed that grew into The Glory Box. Highly trained and experienced pastry chef Peter Smedley, recognized the gap in the market for professional and modern, wedding and celebration cakes. The Glory Box was established in 1998, with Peter creating the cakes and training apprentices, and his partner Marlene, taking responsibility for the administration of the business.

In the 21 years since, The Glory Box has become synonymous with market-leading, bespoke, wedding cakes, and also with supplying high quality cakes to cafes and restaurants across Perth.

The Glory Box – Cakes – Bakery – Patisserie, is passionate about creating a neighbourhood hub, specialising in hand formed sourdough bread, and delicious small batch cakes, tarts, desserts and sweets, all made from scratch, and utilising seasonal produce whenever possible.
