You are safe
Unripe raw Papaya should not be taken ,
Ripe baked papaya won’t do any harm
Just relax
Take care

Consider it from this point of view;
How much cake could have eaten ? May be 50-60 gm.
How much papaya or pineapple could have been there in that cake?
Maybe 10 gm.
How much papain could have been there in that cake ? Maybe 1-2 gm .
What will 1-2 gm of papain do to an 18 weeks pregnancy? Nothing.
So you are safe. The cramps that you had could have been due to Maida or castor sugar or some such things.
