Uh-oh! I have a question about a cake i baked!?

Question

ok i was baking a cake and the whisk i was using gave off little flecks of rust or dirt. they were no bigger than vanilla bean flecks that you see in ice-cream. i tried to get as many off as i could and i was pretty successful. is it safe to serve this cake or should i discard of it?

Answer 1

It shouldn't be a problem. The heat will kill germs... and rust won't hurt to much. If anybody asks, just say it's cinnamon.

Answer 2

id avoid it, if it was rust you can get metal poisoning

Answer 3

k like the user "mudstorm" says baking it would kill the germs on the dirt etc. but I REALLY believe that you shouldn't take a chance consuming a cake with rust particles in it. It could seriously give you rust poisoning

afterall:      Better safe than sorry!
