I ran out of time so didn't get to decorate as much as I wanted, but this was my first time trying to make a "thing" cake and it was really fun just trying! I baked around 200 square inches of cake for this bad boy, and used about four POUNDS of frosting (🤢).
Edit- I walked away to do some work and came back to the most positive, kind, heartwarming feedback. You guys are the absolute best, thank you all so, so much for your kind words ❤️. I feel internet hugged.

This is so cuuuuuute ahhh! It makes me think of how you could do a cute Christmasy-styled train too, if you’re the type to have cake around Christmas/whatever holidays.
Man, this kind of stuff is awesome to see. It is very fun seeing home bakers that can make crazy-professional-grade looking things, but this sort of very cute, still-amazing-but-approachable project that feels within reach for most is so great to have around. Thanks for sharing!
That is adorable, well done!
