We were actually approached by Just Eat to be the first company on the platform, and we actually turned them down."

Rather than going quietly, Rich declared he would never use the inferior British variety and boycotted all sprinkles until he had created a UK version that does the job to his satisfaction! The popular cake shop in Leeds was even forced to temporarily close following a surprise visit from officials, who evetnually told them to stop using the colourful topping 'with immediate effect' because it contained an additive which is banned in the UK.

Instead, they'll be Angel spot Neighbourhood's permanent dessert option among their ever-rotating pop up chefs. "We're gonna be supplying lots of other places in London as well," Rich added.

He was using the US sprinkles instead of the UK ones because he felt they were superior.
