Title: Is this mold?
Post by: derekbk16 on February 08, 2009, 03:14:07 PM
I have some bluish-greenish stuff on my cakes.  On the first picture, the darkest blue-green area (in the middle of the cake) is where I tried to swab the cake with a Q-Tip to see if any of the stuff came off - and it did not come off.  It doesn't smell too bad, but it does smell different from when I put the cakes in.  Any Identification of this would be helpful.

Please give me good news, these are my only 2 cakes left and I want to have something for all this waiting/work!

they look ok to me.  just looks like brusing.  if you swabbed it and nothing came off i would just let them sit.  and see what happens.  if spots get bigger or greener or black throw them out.

They look ok from those pics, but those pics are too far away so i'm not 100% certain.

Take some close ups but from here that looks like bruising. I can take a few and show you a bruised cake if you want?
