That looks quite normal, a bit of bruising if anything.

That looks like bruising from the birthing step. As long as it doesn't get fuzzy and spread you are fine.

you shouldnt touch the cakes with your fingers. I used a plastic bag to handle them and only the dry verm layer as not to damage the cakes.

Hehe... I noticed this after I looked at the picture, but forgot to include it in my post. The cakes are less prone to contamination after they are fully colonized, but why take a chance. You can birth the cake, verm seal and all, directly into a plastic bag and then from the plastic bag into your terrarium (minus the seal).

I always handled them with my hands, making sure only to contact the verm layer. Never had any contam problems, but I also didn't leave them in there past third flush.
