Latest News About Creative Cake Decorating Recall

Here’s the latest on creative cake decorating recalls related to recent news.

Direct answer

• A nationwide recall of Creative Cake Decorating metallic dust colors (including Rose Gold, Fiery Copper, Dior Gold, Platinum Silver, and Champagne Gold) has been issued in Australia after a toddler was hospitalized and placed in an induced coma after inhaling and ingesting the powder. Authorities warn the copper and zinc dust in the powders can be toxic, and consumers should stop using the products immediately and return them for a refund.[1][2][3]

Context and details

• Incident backdrop: A 14-month-old in Queensland inhaled the metallic decorating powder while a cake was being prepared, leading to rapid respiratory distress and emergency surgery. The powder was used to decorate removable cake parts, but packaging and labeling caused confusion for consumers about edibility.[1]
• Recall scope: The Crumb Australia Creative Cake Decorating metallic powder range was pulled from sale nationwide and internationally, with stockists urged to destroy affected products and consumers advised to return to point of purchase for refunds.[2][1]
• Public health guidance: If there is difficulty breathing or suspected ingestion/inhalation of the powder, seek urgent medical help or contact the Poisons Information Centre.[1]

If you’re baking with store-bought mixes or decorative dusts in your area, confirm the product’s recall status with your local health or consumer safety authority.[4][9]
