Sweet Smell

Ok so Last Monday I birthed 2 half pint cakes and put them directly in the FC. Yesterday I thought they looked a little dry they had grown a little bit of fluffy white mycelium. Other then a little bit of blue bruising they look perfectly healthy.After dunking last night I woke up this morning pulled them out and rolled them. The looked enlarged from the dunk like they appreciated it, however they had a sweet smell to them. Is this a normal thing ? Do cakes have a problem of getting contaminated during this process? Any help would be appreciated I know they were done colonizing, I left them in the jar for a week after 100% outside colonization.

i'd say most likely not it's probably something in your fridge/water that it smelling. mycelium usually smells kinda sweet to me 
plus i dont know how many of the contams can grow underwater.. but that's just speculation.
maybe isolate them.. if it's anything like cobweb (which i seriously doubt) it will manifest itself very shortly then deal with it accordingly..
it's probably nothing though. but that's just me. i haven't had a lot of experience with other contams.
make sure that you are getting plenty of humidity to the cakes in your FC.

Already took care of that Im not experienced with contams myself, nor smells. When I birthed them they smelt more like an earthy mushroom smell. Now they smell like a cake sweet smell. But maybe thats just them thriving. Thanks for your comment

Well even tho not to many people replied to this post a few days ago, I thought I would update the progress... The sweet smell went away yesterday, and today when I woke up I was happy to see over 15 pins already half an inch long.

It was a little warm in the FC while this flush was growing, It was around 80% anyway I think that is one reason they grew quick but skinny.
