Rice Cooker Plus?If you have the Rice Cooker Plus you could try that (of course, you're not showing off the stoneware, but you're getting a few other products in there). There are some other threads with more info (do a search on Rice Cooker Plus), but basically you make the batter as called for, put it into the cooker, plop in 3-4 scoops of frosting, and microwave for 9 minutes, give or take depending on your microwave. I've done a few cake mixes and all have turned out well.
Good luck!
