I agree with Shroomsh, you're going to need to use the search and you have a lot of reading up to do.
But in a nutshell you're going to want to crumble those cakes and add them to additional uncolonized substrate that is referred to as "bulk."

Why cant i just crumble them into a tub and leave them as is? If they still fruit that way thats good enough for me.

Crumbled pF cakes are pretty weak as a bulk substrate starter. I highly recommend a straw based substrate for your bulk if doing this. As others have suggested read up on the subject.

You can. But there is a reason that I can't quite rememeber as to why it's better to add bulk in and then let that fully colonize first.
May just be because bulk materials are cheaper than a TON of BRF.
May also be that bulk subs have more nutritants for growing bigger yields..
I could be TOTALLY wrong altogether.
You'll have to let someone else answer that. I'm coming back to this after a year long break and I'm still fuzzy on some some stuff I used to know well..
Also if I recall correctly uncolonized BRF is very susceptible to contams. So you wouldn't want to spawn fully colonized cakes to uncolonized BRF/Verm. Bulk subs like coir are much, much more contaminate resistent.

Because you get less yield going pure crumbled cased cakes. You get more just leaving them as cakes. Bulk sub has more water and thus marginally more yield when spawned to it.

why would you rather crumble your cakes up and just throw em in a tub, without adding to sub, and try to fruit like that, instead of just fruiting them the normal way? i mean, seriously?
if you didnt care to spawn them to bulk, then why not just fruit them as cakes? 
sorry, but that right there is just silly..
