That poor cake.

Original Commentary

This is actually a pretty good idea. I was thinking of having her make cupcakes out of the batter but realized she didn't have cupcake tins. Now, does styrofoam melt in an oven? That's a good question. I'm sure Kimberly will find out - Terrence

Modern Commentary
On one hand, Kimberly left the baking instructions at home. On the other hand, trying to cook a cupful of cake in a toaster oven is so far off the map that it wouldn't help. The styrofoam will probably insulate the cake (if it holds up) and the whole thing is probably a bit taller than a regular cake pan, so I think you'd need to bake it longer. But I'd want to check it every 10 minutes or so.

Those aren't Richard and Sinclair's suggestions for how to bake a cake this way. Those are their personal favorite cooking temperatures which bear no relevance to the situation at hand. If they haven't already started doing a bit, they're likely to start soon.

I mentioned that they'd drop everything to help bake a cake? Well, mostly that help involves driving people around, gathering ingredients, and waiting outside the kitchen for cake to happen. - Terrence
