Bake a Quantum Cake

Not as silly as it sounds on the first look. It essentially uses the similarities between the diffusion equation and the Schrodinger equation to half bake some ideas.
There is plenty of physics to be learned from/during the baking process. A few years ago, I was involved in a patent dispute related to Pizza Ovens and I had to study up on the the baking process and the time saving techniques that major pizza chains use. Fascinating subject and even more so, if you like pizza.
Cooking is based upon the three elements of thermodynamics: conduction, convection and radiation and many pizzerias makes uses of all three methods to get the pizza to you in 30 minutes or less.
OK, back to the cakes - when can I have my quantum of dessert (dessertino)?
