A toddler is fighting for his life after touching a common cake ingredient. Australian mom Katie was making a cake when her son Dustin got gold decorating dust. The powder is dangerous if inhaled, which happened to Dustin.

Dustin stopped responding, and his mom called for an ambulance. The powder reacted with moisture and formed a paste in his lungs.

Dustin is still in a coma.

He was taken to the hospital for urgent care and is in intensive care. A friend started a fundraiser to help Dustin and his family. The friend feels responsible because the cake was for her son.

Katie made cakes for her friend since she was pregnant. She made a Bluey cake for her friend's birthday, but Dustin got the gold dust and inhaled it.

Rochelle feels responsible for the accident.

Dustin is in a coma and cannot breathe on his own. Rochelle knows how the family feels because she lost her daughter in 2023. She started a fundraiser, which has raised a lot of money. Doctors are monitoring Dustin's condition and will do more surgery.

The family was happy before the accident.

The supplier stopped selling the gold dust. Dustin's mom wants to warn parents and bakers about the dangers of cake decorations. She wants people to know that some products are not safe to eat.

You can help Dustin by donating.
