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.

Cult burger brand Burgerism opens takeaway outside of Manchester in a Leeds suburb
The North West’s most ordered burger has landed in Leeds, and it’s easy to see why it’s loved by so many.
If you don't know about Burgerism, then get to know.
The iconic burger brand, which started life as a dark kitchen off an industrial estate in Salford, is now almost ready to welcome fans into its first Leeds location.
Set to open tomorrow – Wednesday 23 September – Burgerism will be serving up their signature smash burgers from a new site over in Meanwood.

The site sits right next to The Meadwood Tavern on Meanwood Road, the perfect location for if you're out and about and looking for a bit of grub after a few pints.
The interior is sporting the bright Burgerism orange, and although it is mainly a takeaway restaurant there are a few seats for sit-in.
You’ll be able to order your food at the counter, via self-service kiosks, or through click-and-collect on the Burgerism website.

Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.

And the good stuff doesn't stop there, as to celebrate the grand opening they'll be giving away the first 100 customers from 5pm a 'Comeback Card' where you'll eat on them during your next visit. So get there early if you don't want to miss out
The Meanwood site will be the sixth Burgerism site following its five openings elsewhere in Greater Manchester.
A new açai cafe promising to be Leeds’ ‘neighbourhood social club’ is opening soon
Clementine Hall
An independent açai bowl pop-up is opening a permanent cafe in Leeds city centre.
It seems the açai bowl trend isn't over just yet, and we're absolutely not mad about it.
The aesthetically purple frozen treat isn't just delicious, but is also known to have numerous health benefits making it guilt-free and the perfect post-workout pick me up.
You may remember Açai Social Club that opened as a pop-up in the Victoria Quarter last year, and now they're moving into a permanent spot in the city centre.
Run by a lovely husband and wife duo who have spent the last 15 months exploring cafes around the world, it's safe to say they know exactly what they're talking about.
Their açai is made with the very best ingredients, topped with the freshest fruit and sprinkled with their homemade granola - it doesn't get much better then that does it?
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, they said: "Açai Social Club is getting a home. Our very first store is officially on the way! We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a space that’s more about than just açai.
"What started as an idea is finally becoming something you can walk into…There’s still a lot we’re keeping under wraps for now, but we’re so excited to finally share the beginning of what’s to come.
"We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you in. Your new neighbourhood social club, coming soon."
The exact location of the cafe and its opening date is still under wraps, but we'll of course keep you updated as and when we find out.
