The Leeds bakery that launched a thousand sprinkles is set to release its own cookbook.
Yes, that's right - Get Baked is going to be releasing a book of its highly-coveted cake recipes, and whilst details so far are relatively scarce one thing is for sure. It's coming, and it's likely to be published "in the coming months".
This means that fans of the viral #sprinklegate bakery will soon be able to purchase a step-by-step guide that will help them recreate their favourite treats at home.
Likely to reveal the secrets to creating the one-and-only Bruce cake, as well as other popular Get Baked treats like its various flavoured cheesecakes and brownies, this is one cookbook that we'll be lining up to pre-order.

We also expect it'll be a cracking read if the bakery's socials are anything to go by (although we don't envy whoever has to edit out all of the profanity).
Sharing the news to social media on Monday, Get Baked founder X revealed that he had signed a book deal with a publisher to release the Get Baked cookbook and would be documenting the behind the scenes process of creating it online over the coming months.
In a post shared to Instagram last night, co-owner and founder Rich Myers wrote:
"I have some news that I've been struggling to keep to myself for quite some time now, and finally the time has come that I'm allowed to share it with you all.
"I'm not allowed to be specific about anything, and I have to be as vague as possible because otherwise I'll get in trouble.
"However, I'm extremely proud to announce that I have signed a book deal, and I'm currently in the process of writing a Get Baked Cookbook.
"My publisher suggested it would be a really nice idea to document my progress, and show a behind the scenes of it all as it happens, so I'll be doing that over the coming months, which is fun.
Aside from that, I'd just like to thank everyone for their support since we opened last July, it's been truly sensational."
First launched as a dessert business to cater to those late-night (or mid-afternoon) munchies in 2011, Get Baked was hugely popular in both Leeds and Manchester - especially amongst the student crowd.

Even back then, pre-sprinklegate, its witty social media presence saw it amass a huge number of followers globally before it ultimately closed after an unsucessful venture with The Joint in Leeds city centre.
After receiving backing from the Tokyo Industries group, the business relaunched last summer - six years after it shut down - only to discover the appetite for its desserts had not gone away, far from it.
Rather, it seems that today Get Baked is more popular than ever - so it's hardly surprising to learn that there's an appetite amongst publishers for the Headingley bakery to release a cookbook.

Leeds speakeasy crowned one of the best cocktail bars in the world by industry experts
The beloved Domino Club is receiving its flowers, and rightly so.
Rapidly becoming one of the industry’s most respected accolade of excellence, The Pinnacle Guide is a worldwide ranking of the best bars across the globe.
Based on a thorough self-application process, rigorous assessment modules, followed by a series of spot check interviews and anonymous in-bar reviews, it's no easy feat to get a spot on this list.
Which is why it makes The Domino Club's achievement all that more impressive.
Known amongst locals and visitors alike as basically one of the coolest bars in town, the hidden speakeasy invites you through a barbershop in the Grand Arcade where downstairs you'll find a dimly lit jazz and cocktail bar oozing sex appeal.
Not only are the cocktails exceptional, but their live music listings is something to behold playing everything from jazz and funk to cabaret and disco every Wednesday - Sunday.
Announcing the news to Instagram, The Domino said: "Listed by The Pinnacle Guide. The Domino Club has been recognised on the global list of the world’s best bars.
"What began as a hidden basement bar in Leeds, built around live music, cocktails and atmosphere, is now being recognised alongside some of the finest bars in the world.
"A huge thank you to our team, musicians, suppliers and every single guest who has supported us over the years. This means a lot. Leeds belongs on the world cocktail map."
We absolutely could not agree more and if you haven't ventured behind the barbershop and discovered the magical Domino Club, then we very much recommend you do.
