Take the cakes you have and just make a cheap fruiting chamber. You will get enough for two people most likely. Then when you get some caps you can print them and try again.

you should definitely try casing at least one of the cakes, i would reccomend casing all of the cakes, you will get more potent and larger fruits...its pretty easy even for a nub...

Why not spawn to straw? Casing a cake is good for experience, but the shroom yield will only be marginally better. If you're going to the trouble to make a casing mix, it's only a small step to pasturize some straw, and will increase your yield 5 fold. 4 cakes is just under a quart, so I'd spawn them all to 4-5 quarts of straw and expect at least a couple ounces of dry fruit.

A 5-6 quart container 
I dunno, I've got some steel pans that are 5x12x6 inches deep, that would be perfect. I've got some plastic sterilite containers that are 6 quart and cost like, a buck fifty each. Wrap that with tape and it would work perfect.

As people have already said, get some Hpoo and follow this tek:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...true#Post723303
Then get a 100% Organic Coco-Coir or Coco-Peat block, and some vermiculite (maybe u have some left over from ur jars) and follow this tek once the Hpoo surface is completely colonised:

This is exactly what i did for my first grow, and it was not difficult at all, would recommend it to all my fellow noob growers.
