British bakery Get Baked was forced to shut down for a day after an anonymous customer reported it for using 'illegal' U.S. sprinkles.
Get Baked used the"illegal sprinkles" on its Raspberry Glazed Donut Cookies, the bakery's bestselling cookies, and on its Birthday Bruce, a 24-layer chocolate cake. A week after Trading Standards visited, Get Baked was told that they must"cease use of" the sprinkles"with immediate effect."
"Obviously we will be following the rules and removing them as of now … A LOT of people ask for Birthday Bruce’s and Rasperry Glazed Donut Cookies are not only our best selling cookie, but they’re utterly sensational," wrote Get Baked owner Rich Myers in a. In the same post, he noted that he doesn't know who reported the business and started"Sprinklegate."
While the issue may seem small, Myers said the change was"very f---ing annoying" and said that he wouldn't be able to replace the sweet topping with a similar, approved product. "It is HIGHLY unlikely that we will find any legal sprinkles that we will use as a replacement. British sprinkles just aren’t the same, they’re totally s--- and I hate them," wrote Myers."I am extremely passionate about sprinkles.""Anyone who’s into sprinkles will know what I'm on about," Myers
