Heres what i got so far

Congrats on your first harvest. I'm not entirely sure if you should dunk the cake as it is. Perhaps you should wait for some of the Pros to give you some advice.
Lol. Find a bottle cap, from a plastic pop bottle or something, wash it out.
Take that cake to the sink, wash it off really well, gently scrubbing the sides with your fingers to make sure all the pins are off of it, anything that could rot, sometimes mushroom fruits leave a base inside the cake that you kinda have to pick out, usually with bigger fruits, anyhow - after it's nice and washed off take a mason jar and fill it up with water, put the cake inside and put the bottle cap on top of the cake bottom side up, level it off with water and close the mason jar. This will make sure the cake stays submerged, and you can just put the jar in the fridge.
EDIT_
Dunk for at least 8 hours, I prefer 24-36, after that roll the cake in vermiculite and put it back in the FC. I like to blend a little vermiculite up so it's very fine, and use that for rolling my cakes. I find it works much better.
Good luck

also pick those pins off. they won't survive the dunk and roll. They are done and also gram for gram the most potent ones you have. Save those for yourself!

Never do it again, you just damaged the myc and slowed the growth for further flushes. CH
