If you are looking into a big pay out for finding a piece of gum on your son's cake, you are in for a big surprise. Unless you can prove to the courts that the gum has triggered an allergic reaction that has put him into the hospital for several days or that the finding of the gum caused your son a tremendous deal of emotional distress, you just have another frivoulous lawsuit case on your hands and I doubt that, in this day and age, you will find an attorney that will take your case. Write a letter or contact the manager of the bakery and let them know what happened and I am sure, they will apologize for the inconvenience that it may have caused you and probably give you another cake (which I think it is fair).
If you are concerned about viruses from the gum chewer, rest assured that the heat from baking the cake would have killed them.
