I had a sweet smelling contam once. It smelled like Southern Comfort, the whiskey. Very disturbing since I got sick off SC once. The smell was strong and perfume like and very sweet, but the cake looked normal thats the weird thing. Needless to say that cake made its way to the garbage pretty quick.

Wow, thats a really helpful answer.
I suggest you toss the cake..'when in doubt, throw it out'.

If you can smell it but can't see it, more than likely it's a bacterial contamination. Throw them out. I boiled some BRF jars the other day but I guess I didn't do it long enough to sterilize it, and after a couple days all those jars had that same sweet/sickening smell. Good thing I waited to innoculate them!!
