Fruit BRF cakes or Spawn to Bulk? Help

I am a noob, this is my first grow everrr, I have 5 half pint BRF cakes inoculated with Golden Teacher Multi Spore Syringe and they are about 90% colonized and lookin good, I first planned on fruiting them as cakes on perlite in a tub but now I want to spawn them to bulk using BODS method seen here https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22337800 except I'd be using 4 of my BRF cakes as spawn for one tub which would be 2qt of spawn.
I also want to use my last (best) BRF cake to inoculate 4 to 6 1qt sterilized grain jars by removing cake, cutting into 4 to 6 equal pieces and crumble each piece into a grain jar and shake similar to G2G process. This would be done in an SAB with optimal sterilization.
Does this sound like a good plan or should I just fruit cakes as is without spawning to bulk and use spores from the fruits to make LC or MSS and noc-up my grain jars with that? Im looking for maximum quantity from these cakes, but also want to keep the system going by making more spawn quickly.
What do the experienced guys think the better option would be?

1x 0.5pint = 0.25 quart
Your 4 half-pint jars = 1 quart of spawn
You can absolutely birth the cakes to bulk. Just make sure you use the proper tub. If the tub is too big you will have to add too much substrate for proper ratios.

Thanks soo much for the reply, going to spawn to bulk with coir. Do you think a 15qt shoe box would work with that amount ? I also have an 11"x14" tub I could use but it may be too big?
Any thoughts on inoculating my sterilized grain jars with chunks of my best BRF cake I have? it would be done in an SAB, everything sprayed and wiped with ISO. I would also consider cutting off the top portion of the cake under the verm and discarding it to prevent contam even though I have self healing injection ports and a filter on the jars.

The shoebox would work great.
This thread BRF to bulk/Cakes as spawn by mushroomnate should help you quite a bit.
I don't have any experience inoculating a grain jar with BRF cakes so I'm sorry but I can't help you with that.

Right on, Thanks! I will document my process once I spawn the cakes into the shoe box. I will also document my experience with inoculation of BRF to grain. Cant wait!

Thanks, I guess we will all see how it goes lol. If it does not work well I will only be losing one half pint cake and some grain so oh well, worth the try especially if it works out.
