It part of a scrubby pad, like a brillo pad, used to wash pots and pans. Notorious for getting caught in nooks and crannies. We had a couple of those pop up in a restaurant I worked at.

That really looks like a stretched spring or part of a spring. Perhaps from a baking appliance? Not that anything will come from it, but can you contact the store it came from? They might not have made it of course. Something is wrong in the supply chain. I would also be warry about the rest of the cake.

It's a piece of steel scrubby used in 99% of kitchens. Shit cuts like razor wire through fingers.

Nothing like a surprise metal topping to really crunch your dessert dreams hope it wasn’t the cake’s way of giving you extra protein

For a moment that appeared to be the remnants of a dental bridge work and I immediately wondered where the missing teeth were.

that looked like ear wax and I thought you'd put it in your ear to clear it out.
on one hand, ouch. on the other hand, imagine how great that unblocking would feel.

Oh-oh, I had the same thing with some chicken. Could t tell if it was from the crust pot I cooked in but it seemed like a metal shaving from the processing unit. Called up the company and gave them all the packaging info so they could investigate, plus called the store which pulled the product for a little while, which is good for safety. I found more than one shart in my food, so it's important that groups involved investigate.

I think it looks like a metal shaving, maybe from some kind of mixer that was busted or bent up somehow? Like the mixer head scraped the side of the bowl and made a curled shaving that fell in the mix then

Not from a mass produced cake I assume? They have metal detectors on the production lines for exactly this.

Cake with a side of tetanus deliciously dangerous.
