You mentioned the toaster oven and the oven, but if you don't have access to one of those, will a Wretched Radiation Device work? I do know that the Exxon down the street has a sign about reheating Krispy Kreme (no more than eight seconds otherwise the doughnut explodes), but I don't know if that'd work for this.

Let's see if I can describe it... <BR/><BR/>First cut a long V shape wedge out of the top of the radish, then cut out two more V shaped wedges at cross angles across the first cut. This makes the design on the top.<BR/><BR/>On the sides, you cut narrow slices out into "petals", making sure not to cut so thin that they break off. Soak them in cold water and the petals open a bit.
