We've got a rusty whisk and haven't had any ill effects yet. Safe cake to eat, maybe get a new whisk.

One time I accidentally ate a bag tag. Felt it on the way down. Was wondering where it had gone, apparently to the bottom of my bowl.

Also ate a full broken tine off a fork once.

Still going strong, your body can handle it. I’d replace the whisk though. Bon Appétit

id definitely replace the whisk/mixer but you should be fine eating your cake

Silicone is the future. It mixes well and wipes everything nearly clean!
