Gloria's Cake & Candy Supplies

Gloria Alvarez opened Gloria’s in 1972 in Culver City.  Her decision was the result of teaching cake decorating classes at Veterans Memorial Park and having to secure most of the supplies for her students because there was no one place they could go to purchase what they needed.  

She would drive around to the various vendors or phone and order items for her students, during the day, hoping to have everything for them before the next class.  Eventually realizing that there had to be other bakers/decorators like herself, creating an untapped market…Gloria’s Cake & Candy Supplies was born.
