wrap pf cake with wet paper towel

So I noticed my cakes were starting to turn pretty dark blue, possibly because I was misting to hard I think. So I decided to try and wrap them in damp paper towel. Has anyone tried this? Its kind of an experiment, rather than dunking for 24 hours to try to get the blue to heal up.

I was also thinking that by wrapping it in a paper towel I would prevent further damage to the mycelum but still allow it to absorb water and breath at the same time.

I don't think that is a great idea. In my experience cakes blue for reasons often less than totally in our control. The best thing to do is maintain proper FAE and proper misting (letting the cakes tell you when) and blue cakes should recover, if not totally than at least a good bit after a few days.

Won't they try to colonize the paper towel?
And try breathing through a wet paper towel and let me know how well it works

Why is it a bad idea? They will still get light, air, and water.

Blueing of the cake is just bruising, nothing to be worried about. Just place it in your SGFC and fruit it as normal.

UPDATE: blueing has receded. One cake is still pretty blue so I'm going to leave the paper towel on it another day, AND I got my first Pin! Thanks everyone for the help.

I've noticed that my cakes turn a deep blue after they've been picked. They're kinda dry. I usually just give them a 24 hour dunk and it seems to help. Most of the blueing goes away.
