Ok, I just looked at my cake again and it is fruiting, but after I picked it up, I'm starting to notice that it is taking on a blue tint towards the top part. I washed my hands and I thought that would be enough. Please tell me this isn't a contamination.

no, this is just the mycelium bruising a bit. can be caused by the mycelium being directly in contact with water, or by the cake drying out, or by physical contact causing briusing.

Just in case you wanted a second opinion, that's perfectly normal. Psilocyin oxydizes to a blue tint when damaged, either by compressing the mycelium or exposing it to unhealthy amounts of water or heat
