Metastasize

For 19 years I have held a cheesecake contest on the last day of the year. Inevitably, bits of cake fall to the floor and with the crowd of people sampling the cakes, the sticky, gooey contents spread across the floor unless I deligently clean up. Is it wrong for me to borrow this word from the medical realm to describe how dropped food will metastasize over the floor by the constant shuffling of human shoes?
