Get Baked have replaced its 24-layered Bruce cake for Bertha - and we were among the first to give a mammoth slice a try
Not so long ago, I drove 100 miles to Leeds to finally get my hands on the viral Bruce cake made at the now legendary Get Baked bakery. So a 200-mile-trip to London to get the first taste of its cake successor, the mighty Bertha, seemed like the natural next step.
Giving his reasons for ditching the viral Bruce cake , he explained it was for exactly that reason that it had to go. In a statement on Instagram he wrote: "When I released him into the world in 2021, I could never have imagined what he would end up achieving - he was just a chocolate cake back then.
Attention now turns to the cake's successor, which has had itself an unexpectedly lavish launch this week at the poshest of London's food halls, Fortnum & Mason, no less. It was a move that no one really did see coming. Staff in waistcoats and tailcoats greeted us as we joined the queue, handing out coffees and sweet treats to those patiently waiting their turn inside. I had pre-booked a £17 ticket to get my slice of cake, I hadn't just arrived thinking I'd take my chances.
However for me, having been stung the last time I got my hands on Bruce, when he toppled over when I got him out of the box and I dropped half ON THE FLOOR, I decided to retreat to the safety of my hotel room to unwrap the cake.
