Is cuttlebone poisonous to humans?

I found a great birdie cake recipe that calls for cuttlebone, and I wanted to eat some too. I just need to make sure I can eat the cake.

It's okay to eat but it gives a gritty texture to the baked goods. I sometimes put it in birdy bread..

nope, nibble away- it's basically a squid's backbone. (ok, it's a cuttlefish)
