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.

So I just wrote on Facebook and I said to my wife 'if anyone reacts to this, I'm gonna do it again'. And she thought I was crazy. Then, within about half an hour of writing, I got a call from all sorts of newspapers and it just took off straightaway, basically.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. So you know how now you can kind of get dessert delivered on Just Eat and stuff. When we started that didn't exist. We were actually approached by Just Eat to be the first company on the platform, and we actually turned them down." The businessman added: "I'm talking eggs that have been so well poached, you'll think you have died, and gone to hell. 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." 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."

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. The first thing that drew me to this cookbook was the bright and colorful cover. Then I read in the description something about a "Sprinklegate" and I just had to know more. So thankfully I was given the chance to preview this book by NetGalley and the publisher White Lion Publishing and I will be forever grateful. He has been updating customers on social media over the last few days and it was on Facebook where he first revealed two of his most popular bakes will no longer feature. His comments have since gone viral.

Instead, they'll be Angel spot Neighbourhood's permanent dessert option among their ever-rotating pop up chefs. "We're gonna be supplying lots of other places in London as well," Rich added. "So you'll be able to get our stuff from from lots of places in London. But we're not opening a physical store because it's very, very risky. Especially at the minute." Get Baked become famous for its Gruesome Bruce cake inspired by Bruce Bogtrotter in the film Matilda (Image: Get Baked)This book brings you 40 of those most popular creations, including Raspberry Glazed Donut Cookie, Lemon Meringue Pie, Mr Pistachio, Purple Haze, S'Mores Brownies, Campfire and Birthday Truffles, culminating in the famous ‘Bruce’, a 24 layer giant consisting of chocolate cake and ganache, that people travel far and wide to buy. 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 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.

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. 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.

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'. GET BAKEDshot 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! The Headingley bakery, which is known for its giant layered 'Bruce' cakes, explained that the American sprinkles may contain colourings that aren’t allowed in the UK, and they needed to be tested.
