Not only are the recipes actually good and easy to follow, the book its self is so aesthetic that even if I didn’t plan on using it, I would still buy it to decorate with.
Back to the goods though, these recipes will have you RUNNING to the kitchen to start baking. My mouth was watering just glancing over the pages.

"Get Baked" by Rich Myers is a fantastic baking book. The recipes range from simple to very complex but the instructions are very clear, making all bakes in this book achievable. Each recipe is accompanied by a picture that has been beautifully styled, with such clear attention to detail that they capture the whimsical character of the finished product.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Brilliant book- if you’ve never had the pleasure of a slice of Bruce then you’ve never lived (…near Leeds)
The recipes are of varying difficulty but are all straight forward to follow. The pictures are simple but really show the desserts off beautifully, I love that there is a picture for each recipe- I hate it when you have to guess what it’s supposed to look like. So far I have made cookies and brownies but am definitely going to try some of the pies. One day I’ll attempt to make my own Bruce, honest!

Such a fun baking book. I'm an avid baker, with many, many baking books, and this one did not disappoint. With a mix of easier and more complex recipes, straightforward instructions with clear explanations, and beautiful pictures, this is a book anyone can find a favourite recipe in. I appreciated the explanation of equipment that might be needed, and really loved the colours within the book and the beautiful photography.

Loved.

I am SO happy I was able to get an ARC of this! Myself and my husband love going to Get Baked for a treat, and I can't wait to try out some of the recipes myself (although I doubt mine will be as good, and we'll end up going down the road to the shop anyway). We've been around since the original days and it has been great to see the business grow. Informative and funny - what more could you want in a recipe book!

"Getting baked" means something very different here in Canada than it must mean in Leeds, UK. (LOL)

Molly Yeh will always be the queen of sprinkles for me, but I guess that I can see his point of making good sprinkles for the UK available as sprinkles are everywhere these days.

That aside, this is a good book full of recipes that will be easily made at home. The instructions are understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the treats very enticing.

Overall, a good book to get baked with.

Thank you for my eARC of this book! I absolutely love the recipes and layout of this book, I also love that every recipe has a picture. I think I will genuinely try at least 90% of the recipes in this book which rarely happens and I can’t wait to get a physical copy.!

Nice cookbook, well designed, nice layout and lots of appealing photos which is always good. Steps are clearly explained and it’s great for beginners as it really does clearly explain the instructions, can’t wait to start making these at home now

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy in return for an honest opinion

Get Baked contains amazing recipes from the Get Baked bakery in Leeds. Owner Rich Myers is not only a baking genius but a marketing god. Following a ‘to-do’ with Trading Standards a couple of years ago, Myers used the publicity to capitalise on the sensations that are his baked goods.

This book is crammed full of all the things you’d find in the shop (or on Instagram, if you can only admire them from afar) Not least Bruce - the 12 layer chocolate cake. It is beautifully presented, packed with Rich Myer’s style, well written and shows an absolute confidence in showcasing the recipes for what Get Baked actually sells.

By far the best book of baked goods I’ve seen. Excited to get stuck into the recipes but even just looking at the pictures brings on a sugar rush.

This is a great recipe book, full of pictures, which I love. Most of the recipes are simple, so even the novice baker could do them. There’s also some different recipes which is good, not the same old sweet treats.

This delicious-looking cookbook packs a variety of recipes, including multi-layer cakes, pies, cookies, sweet rolls, brownies, truffles, and even a milkshake. This treasure trove for sugar and chocolate lovers is filled with colorful, vibrant photography of every recipe.

Wow…there are so many incredible sounding and looking things to make in this book! I love the equipment list at the beginning and the detailed instructions for each bake! There’s some really interesting dishes that I can’t wait to have a go at (and of course eat!).

Really.well written recipe book - clear recipes, good descriptions and a good amount of the author's character and wit snuck in.

The banoffee pie and lemon merengue pie in particular look really good, will be trying those two and the salted chocolate cookie recipes soon!

So many good sounding desserts in this cookbook! I like how it was divided and there were lots of great pictures to show the reader/baker what the dessert should look like!
