About this deal

Mr Myers said he bought the sprinkles from a well-known wholesaler in the UK and had not ever thought they were off limits. 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. 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 sprinkle saga began on October 3, when the bakery posted about a ‘lovely visit’ from Trading Standards after a disgruntled customer made a complaint.

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. 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. 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." Get Baked become famous for its Gruesome Bruce cake inspired by Bruce Bogtrotter in the film Matilda (Image: Get Baked) Written in Rich's trademark style, this book offers a fun and accessible way to enjoy these unique recipes, meaning bakers of all abilities will enjoy the tasty treats and sumptuous creations from this increasingly popular brand.

Rich, who founded the bakery in 2011, has certainly not taken this lying down; he’s since created his own sprinkle line and written a cookbook. 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. A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Trading Standards told the Manchester Evening News: "West Yorkshire Trading Standards can confirm that we have advised the business concerned that the use of E127 is not permitted in this type of confectionery item. 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.

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!

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. 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.

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 has also written a Get Baked cookbook - exclusively previewed by MyLondon - in which he reveals the secret behind making Bruce. Every recipe is as sensational as you'd expect, and then some. A number of colourants known as “azo dyes” have been banned in the EU since 2003, with the UK continuing the proscription after Brexit. Sprinkles available to the public in supermarkets are coloured with alternative dyes, and tend to be less bright than those used in the United States. If you are aware of Sprinklegate then you have heard of Get Baked Bakery in the UK. If you aren't familiar then the story is Rich Myers got busted for using US made sprinkles in his baked goods that are considered illegal in the UK due to a specific dye. He was using the US sprinkles instead of the UK ones because he felt they were superior. He made several snarky posts about it on Facebook and thus Sprinklegate was born. 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'

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. 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. 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." 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. 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.This sensational cookbook brings you a range of the tastiest treats from the iconic GET BAKED® bakery. 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.
