The 17 August episode of Carte Blanche turns its lens on the baking industry, uncovering troubling concerns behind the beauty of cake decorating.
In Limpopo, a company has been supplying edible colours and glitters widely used by bakers, but questions are mounting about whether these products are truly safe for human consumption.

Its first episode aired on 21 August 1988 and over the last 34-plus years has earned credibility among South African viewers for its investigation into corruption, consumer issues, and current events.
