Pinning directly under PF cake?

Okay so yesterday I made a post about a strange growth coming from the side of one of my cakes, I'm assuming it was nothing to worry about (only one person had a reply). Anyways, this morning I woke up to take a look and I saw some small pins creeping from under the cake so I flipped it over to see this
 These are growing directly into the foil, I tried to look up what to do in this situation but I am finding a lot of conflicting info on whether or not I should flip the cake or just let it do its thing If anyone could put their input it would be greatly appreciated

Been a while since I've done cakes, but my intuition says put it on the side.

let em do their thing, dnt flip em, its basically (from what ive read and experienced) a better growing environment on the bottom, meaning ur SGFC isnt really dialed in, and in this case the bottom of the cake are more moist, if that makes sense, but i cant really say for sure cause im still new as well, i ditched the cakes and went to bulk, not for that exact reason but close, ive had mushrooms grow on the bottom of my cakes before, if ur tops are dry try misting a bit more as well as fanning, but im no brf cake expert i just tried my hand at it in the beginning but thats wat i was told,
basically in a nutshell, the environment isnt right theres more moisture at the bottom and thats why u have so many pins on the bottome

Whenever it happens to me I just leave them, I figure there's a better microclimate there. But my pins only happen on the very edges of the bottom, not the centre. Those might be a problem, because they might not have enough space.

they are fine, I generally have pins on the bottom...I have a foil lid with water in it and they still are fine..even pins sitting in water all day long...it actually helps them grow.

search bottom water tek. it helps keep the cakes hydrated and makes your pins grow to full size. you will see in the future cakes turning blue, which is usually due to drying..

Just checked that out, thankyou So my fruits being relatively small are most likely due to lack of hydration?

It doesn't really matter if you flip your cake or not, the fruits will grow fine either way. What you should take from this is the fact that the pins favoured the microclimate at bottom of the cake over anywhere else. Maybe you need to tweak your misting a little to accommodate? Bottom watering is definitely a good idea at this point. Once the pins form they will be thirsty!

ya thats kinda where i was going with my response, it happened to me and im sure it has happened to others, cakes dont really provide me with enough fruit so i just switched to bulk and now im really starting to get into it, just took a step back and a breather and now im focusing on agar n clean growth and progressively getting back into it

I'd just leave them as they are, they either come out from the side or grow downwards and flip the cake itself. Just let it do it's thing .)
Bottom watering is a good idea, but it does not work well if you have fruits at the bottom, being submerged in water is not good for fruits.

That would be a reason for me to lean toward flipping the cake myself. If the fruits are at the top they will still get all the water they need from bottom watering and misting per usual. Either way, I have yet to see any drowned fruits due to bottom watering Most pinning on PF cakes will tend to be near the bottom anyway
