GET BAKED: Sensational Cakes, Bakes & Desserts

Product Information

But their story began long before, with one man baking in his mother's kitchen. She'd answer the phone, and he'd drive his creations all around Leeds. From the Get Baked account, Mr Myers explained the sprinkles are imported from the US and contain colours that aren’t allowed in the UK.

GET BAKED in Leeds shot to fame during 'Sprinklegate', when its founder, Rich Myers, brilliantly capitalized on the banning of his use of US sprinkles. Rather than going quietly, Rich declared he would never use the inferior British variety and boycotted all sprinkles until he had created a UK version that does the job to his satisfaction! Rich told MyLondon: "When we first started, my dad had just passed away. We were both very interested in food and he never really lived long enough to see me be like a proper man. So I was desperate to sort of do that while he was alive. The sprinkle saga began on October 3, when the bakery posted about a ‘lovely visit’ from Trading Standards after a disgruntled customer made a complaint. The popular cake shop in Leeds was even forced to temporarily close following a surprise visit from officials, who evetnually told them to stop using the colourful topping 'with immediate effect' because it contained an additive which is banned in the UK. Vowing to go on "sprinkle strike", the bakery said they were only prepared to use those sprinkles and no others.

If you're on social media, chances are you've stumbled across Leeds bakery Get Baked. They rose to fame after their illegal sprinkles caused global news coverage of 'Sprinklegate'. EU rules, which are still enforced in the UK, ban the use of the colouring E127 from food as it contains coal tar dye, and scientists have linked the use of E127 to hyperactive children and behavioural problems. I'm gonna have a few problems to solve though before I attempt a recipe. I'm gonna have to figure out what digestive biscuits are as well as a few other ingredients (caster sugar I'm looking at you).

Speculoos Pie: speculoos biscuit, spiced caramel, biscoff, vanilla cream, served with milk ice-cream West Yorkshire Trading Standards said: “We can confirm that we have advised the business concerned the use of E127 is not permitted in this type of confectionery item. I went to one of London's best Middle Eastern restaurants with 'mind-blowing food’ and the meat was so good I'm dreaming about it'On top of that, Rich has announced his baked goods will finally arrive in our beloved capital later this month. He said: "We're not opening a store in London because that would be stupid."

It's a dream. Soon that dream will become a reality. Tell everyone." Gogglebox star from Leeds Ellie Warne shared her excitement, and said: "Amazing location. Congrats." But it wasn't until he died that I came into starting Get Baked. People don't believe this, but this is true. We were the world's first dessert delivery brand.

A bakery owner's furious rant has gone viral on social media after his cake shop was reported to Trading Standards for using 'illegal' sprinkles.Rich has also written a Get Baked cookbook - exclusively previewed by MyLondon - in which he reveals the secret behind making Bruce.

Bruce Pudding: the most famous of Rich’s desserts, a 24-layer chocolate cake designed for two to three people to share and served with hot chocolate fudge, chocolate crumble and milk ice-cream Well now he has written a cookbook. And his writing in the recipes are just as funny as his commentary during Sprinklegate. Probably one of the most entertaining cookbooks I have ever read. And the recipes look delicious. I'm pretty stoked to try the pink grapefruit bars, banoffee pie, and strawberry limeade pie to name just a few. There is a beautifully photographed picture of each recipe that will make you wish the book came with samples.I'm not sure we have these in the US. And every single ingredient is listed by weight. I rarely feel like even measuring my flour by weight...I don't want to be weighing my eggs. But the desserts look so yummy that maybe I'm ready to try weighing all my ingredients like a professional. In a Facebook post that has since gone viral, Get Baked described what has been dubbed 'Sprinklegate' as "very f***ing annoying", Leeds Live reports.
