When Rich Myers baked his first cake for delivery in a Leeds home kitchen in 2011, the idea of ordering dessert to your door was still a novelty in the UK. He spotted a gap in the market long before delivery platforms became part of everyday life, building Get Baked on a simple but powerful principle: food brands could have personality, humour, and heart. His breakthrough came with the viral success of Bertha, a cake that captured the internet's imagination and turned a small bakery into a recognisable name. That moment opened doors to collaborations with iconic brands like Fortnum and Mason and the cult artist Chris (Simpsons Artist), cementing Get Baked's reputation as a business that blends creativity with commercial success.

Myers has grown Get Baked from a kitchen experiment into a nationwide brand by combining smart social media strategy with an irreverent, authentic voice that resonates across platforms. His approach has always been person-centred, prioritising connection and relatability over polished perfection. In 2023, he published his cookbook, GET BAKED, sharing the recipes and playful spirit that made his bakery beloved by customers across the country. His work demonstrates a keen understanding of how digital culture shapes consumer behaviour, and how brands can build loyalty by being genuinely engaging rather than simply transactional. Through years of testing, adapting, and refining his offer, Myers has proven that creativity and business acumen are not opposing forces but complementary strengths.
