Coolest Thomas the Tank Engine Island of Sodor Cake 7

Homemade Thomas the Tank Engine Island of Sodor Cake
This Thomas the Tank Engine Island of Sodor Cake is inspired by the Thomas the Tank Engine show. It is set on the Island of Sodor. The cake is a homemade marble pound cake. The mountain is also cake.
Instead of using the dome cake, I used an 8" round and a 1/2 ball cake pan. This allowed the dense cake to cook more evenly. I carved out the tunnel and then put support dowels to hold the mountain firmly in place. Then, I crumb coated the whole cake before decorating it.
Pine Trees: sugar cones, trimmed to size (with a bread knife), and then piped with a dark green buttercream.
Rail Road Ties: Royal Icing. Boulders: Homemade marshmallow fondant, rolled into balls, molded, and then painted- thinning food coloring with lemon extract. Water: Blue Butter Cream with a blue piping gel glaze on top.
Beach: This is a special blend of sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, and nutmeg. Bridge: I found that my original fondant bridge, that I worked on for a week, would not hold the train with the coal tender. So, it is a Hershey Bar.
