An independent bakery in Leeds has been reported to Trading Standards for using ‘illegal sprinkles’. They’ve since taken to social media to share a furious (and not to say hilarious) rant about “Sprinklegate.”
The founder of Get Baked told his 53,000 followers on Facebook: “This weekend has been absolutely sensational, we’ve had customer visits from countless cities, sold tons of fucking Bruce in various forms, oh and not to mention a nice visit from Trading Standards on Friday after someone reported us for using what are apparently illegal sprinkles.
The founder later explained that Trading Standards stopped the glitter imported from the United States because it contained dyes that “are not allowed here” after someone complained.
Sprinkles are essential to their best-selling recipes: a Matilda-inspired Bruce birthday chocolate cake and raspberry glazed donut cookies. Now Get Baked is worried about how difficult it is to get new glitter in the UK.
Explaining that he really lost sleep because of it, he said it was “very unlikely that we would find any legal glitter that we would use as a replacement.”
“British glitter just aren’t the same, they’re totally shitty and I hate them,” he added. “Anyone who likes watering will know what I’m talking about”
“The waterings you can get in this country are totally crappy **.”

He then directed his anger at a man called Dan, referring to the iconic episode of Come Dine With Me.
“To whoever reported us to Trading Standards, (Dan?) Whatever I have to say, dear Lord, what a sad little life Jane,” he said.

“Done and done.”
