Ok - so it's not a disaster YET! lol But my stomach is already starting to turn a little...lol. I've got to do this dang motorcycle cake for next saturday & I can't seem to get the stupid pan!!! I was outbid yesterday on ebay for one...the person paid over $40 for it...INSANE!!!! Right now I'm bidding on one, but I had to put my bid in way early because my husband & I are going fishing out in the Gulf of Mexico at 7am tomorrow (without our 3 kids...yaaayyyy!! ) and I won't be around to play the bidding game right before it's ending... I always get good deals by putting my bid in just a minute or even seconds before it's ending. So if I don't win this pan, then I have only two choices: 1- buy the pantastic pan, which I'm not crazy about. I've heard good things about how they cook and all, but the design of the motorcycle is a little too old-fashioned for my needs. The bday guy's bike is more closely resembled in the wilton motorcycle pan, so that's what I'd really like to have. OR choice 2- try to do a bct....never done one before but willing to try. Only problem is I can't seem to find a decent black&white drawing or clip art of a motorcycle!!!!! I have 3 graphics programs & all I can find are very cartoony or juvenile ones or ones that are too "sketchy" looking and don't have the definition I need to do a bct from. Searched online only to get the same results.

I want to just scream!!!!!!! lol Why does wilton have to constantly be retiring pans??? It seems like the only time I need one, it's a retired one!!

Haven't even turned my oven on and this cake's already falling apart!!!

I will check my clipart Cd's and see if I can find one. The other option would be to have an edible image made. That would be really easy!!! I will post back if I find a usable pic!

Thanks, Traci...that's so sweet of you! I would probably do an edible image, but this customer specifically asked me not to. I said no problem, didn't think it would be....now it is....aaaarrrgggg!!! lol

This was the best that I could find.

Here are a few links to motorcycle pics. When I'm looking for something simplistic for a BCT, I include "coloring pages" in the search, e.g. motorcycle coloring pages.

Hope this helps!

You could do a Google Image search for MOTORCYCLE.......it's always worked for me.

Does this help?

THANK YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!! I'm going to print them out and see which looks like the best to do a practice one with. I thought about doing it tonight, but I've been out in the gulf fishing with my DH all day....sooooo sunburnt!! And still have the rocking back and forth sensation/illusion...don't have my land-legs back on yet. We were out on the water from 7:30 this morning until 8 pm tonight!! That'd be a funny bct if I tried to do it now!!! lol Imagine - a seasick motorcycle bct...lol

Thanks again! I really appreciate your help
