Get Baked's chief baker and #sprinklegate instigator has called out a Welsh copycat for 'stealing' his Facebook posts in a hilarious social media rant.
The popular cake shop and bakery, which is known for its giant 'Bruce' cakes and viral sprinkles (amongst other things), shared a post to its social media channels last night taking aim at the Welsh wannabes in the most amusing and light-hearted fashion.
In a post shared to the bakery's Instagram, the owner started by explaining that he'd been sent 'quite a few messages' about the copycats, a dessert place in Wales, and laid out that they had been 'stealing' his Facebook statuses for use on their own page.
Jokingly sharing the concern that the person responsible "might hurt me and/or turn me into a lampshade", he went on to say, "part of me is disgusted, another part of me is ever so slightly turned on."
"Not horny, just like vaguely aware of the sensation."

Calling the whole situation a "cake-derived version of inception", he then goes down a 'pie dealership' rabbit hole before concluding "it's f****** madness, all this."
The full post shared to Get Baked's Instagram page read:
“So I’ve been sent quite a few messages about this dessert place in Wales, that has started stealing our Facebook statuses, and using them on their page.
“Sometimes it’s just ending things with stuff like “hope you fail,” and sometimes it’s word for word, with the occasional word change, which incidentally, and unfortunately for them, removes the humour from the whole situation.
“Anyway, it’s a strange one, I’m flattered but also slightly concerned that the person might hurt me, and/or turn me into a lampshade.

“I think this is what it’s like for people when they find out someone is using their photo for a fake Tinder profile.
“Part of me is disgusted, another part of me is ever so slightly turned on.
“Not horny, just like vaguely aware of the sensation.
“They’re probably going to talk about this status on their page, which is like a cake-derived version of inception, where one pie dealership talks about another pie dealership, in a manner that suggests that they are that pie dealership, even though they’re not, and the other pie dealership knows it’s going on, and they know that the other pie dealership know’s what’s going on.
“It’s f****** madness all this.”

Shared with the caption 'A short tale', the bakery later added in the comments that they wouldn't be naming and shaming the culprits - although it appears that post has now disappeared from the page.
Comparing the copycat to someone who feeds their dog chocolate, the owner said he wasn't upset or annoyed - rather that he found the whole thing funny.
Whilst copycats have become an increasing problem for independent small businesses thanks to social media, we have to say Get Baked has handled it with more humour than most.
That said, we think the top comment award has to go to The Wee Bakery, who wrote: "Please PLEASE tell me their version of Bruce is Bryn."
A popular bar and nightlife spot on Call Lane has closed its doors for good this weekend.
Revolución de Cuba - or Revs de Cuba, to most of us - announced the imminent closure of its Leeds bar last week, and went out with a 'final fiesta' on Saturday.
The venue opened on Call Lane, right in the heart of Leeds' nightlife heartland, back in 2015, and remained open after the collapse of Revolution's parent company back in January 2026.
The group's other venue in the city, Revolution at the Electric Press, did close immediately in January.
Revs de Cuba was famed for its Latin-inspired food and cocktails, and its late-night parties that tried to recreate the party atmosphere of Cuba.
The two-storey venue also had live music throughout the week, plus dancers and entertainment at the weekends.
Posting a statement to followers, Revs de Cuba wrote: "We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 15th August 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Leeds.
"We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolucion party and making some unforgettable memories.
"Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course - Thank you for your patience and understanding. Goodbye and Gracias."
Commenting on their farewell post, one person wrote: "Noooooo! I had the best nights ever at Revs. I have the best memories. This cannot be trueeee."
Another said: "Thanks for so many years of Live Music and Joy."
And someone else posted: "what a place, end of an era."
The existing Revs de Cuba site in Leeds is under the steer of the NEOS Hospitality, who have revealed grand plans for its future...
Leeds United’s Anton Stach has launched his very own burger at a local indie – and it’s all for a good cause
Clementine Hall
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
