Viral bakery Get Baked shares major update on Manchester opening

Dare you to eat a whole Bertha cake...

Daisy Jackson Daisy Jackson - 4th September 2024

Get Baked, the bakery behind the viral, sell-out Bruce Bogtrotter-inspired chocolate cakes, has just announced a big change in its plans to open in Manchester.

The internet’s favourite sweet treat supplier has ‘changed its mind’ about the original site it had chosen in the city (we did wonder what the delay from May had been…)

Get Baked was set to open on Peter Street, in the weird pointy glass bit attached to Impossible.

But now it’s switched up the plans and is instead ready to take over a spot on Stevenson Square, right in the heart of the Northern Quarter.

In an update shared online today, Get Baked confirmed that the new spot will be a dine-in spot as well as a store for its bakery, where you can have coffee, pie, and a slice of its legendary 24-layer chocolate cake.

The cake used to be known as Bruce, named after the Matilda character, but has recently rebranded to Bertha with a slightly adjusted recipe.

In Get Baked’s statement, they said that their first Manchester location looks set to open in November.

They wrote: “People of Manchester. You might remember some time ago I announced that we were opening a store in your city. You definitely do remember, because it’s all anyone ever asks about.

“Well, the reason for the delay is that I changed my mind on the site, so we’re going here instead.

“It’s in Stevenson Square in the Northern Quarter.

“You’ll be able to eat-in and enjoy some pie and a coffee. Maybe even a slice of Bertha on a big fuck-off plate?

“It’s just so wonderful — you’d be forgiven for being unable to breathe at this point due to an overwhelming feeling of joy.

“Also, I’d like to apologise to @manchestereveningnews who did a story about the opening and now it’s all meaningless because it’s the wrong location — please do get in touch and I’ll fill you right in.

“Hopefully opening in November. GB”

We’ll be eagerly following along for updates (and getting hungry) on Get Baked’s Instagram page.
