Brief Answer:
Don't worry. he will be fine

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Don't worry.
He will do fine.
I don't think that the paper in cake should cause any issues.
At the most he can develop some vomiting which can be tackled with anti-emetic like ondansetron.
Keep giving him plenty of liquids to ensure that the bowel moves faster and easily.
If he develops any pain better to consult your pediatrician.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
