A dad blasted a cake maker who used scraps of metal to hold a jewel cake together for a children’s birthday party – which was then eaten by the kids.
In the incident, two girls, Maria Fernanda and her sister Renata, were hospitalized after celebrating their fourth birthday in the city of Monterrey, in Mexico’s Nuevo Leon state.
Her father, Oscar Velez, now wanted to know if anyone had ever heard of pieces of metal being used in a child’s birthday cake.
He said the children assumed everything in the cake was edible and happily gobbled the metal pieces before realizing it.

“They gobbled it up and now there’s metal in both of their stomachs. I’m attaching the photo of the cake as it came when it came and what the x-rays look like with the metal in my daughter’s stomachs.

“Parents, be careful with this type of cake as sometimes we don’t realize that underneath every decoration there can be something that can destroy the moment.”
Yesterday the girls still had metal in their stomachs waiting for it to pass out naturally.
Oscar has said his daughters are fine.
