1. A system for baking an edible container, comprising:
a mold base having a base plate, a male mold protruding vertically from said base plate and terminating at an end wall, said base plate having a biasing member spaced from said male mold and moveable between a resting position and a biased position;
a clamshell housing having a first side and a second side, said first side is pivotable with respect to said second side between an open position and a closed position;
said first side having a bottom edge, a top edge, and longitudinal edges extending between said bottom and top edges, said first side having a wall extending between said edges, said wall having a mold-facing surface, a ring wall protruding from said mold-facing surface and extending from one of said longitudinal edges to another of said longitudinal edges, said ring wall terminating at a side sealing surface;
said second side having a bottom edge, a top edge, and longitudinal edges connecting said bottom and top edges, said first side having a wall extending between said edges, said wall having a mold-facing surface, a ring wall protruding from said mold-facing surface and extending from one of said longitudinal edges to another of said longitudinal edges, said ring wall terminating at a side sealing surface;
said closed position forming a top opening at said top edges and a bottom opening at said bottom edges, said closed position defined by said first side contacting said second side along said longitudinal edges and said bottom edges of said sides being coplanar, said open position defined by said first side pivoted away from said second side and said bottom edges of said sides being angled with respect to each other; and
when said clamshell housing is mated to said mold base, at least one of said sides is located between said biasing member and said male mold to move said biasing member from said resting position to said biased position.
