When dealing with iconic characters it is sometimes the wise choice to go with the actual item instead of representation.
This cake was made and decorated using both buttercream and fondant.
The trees are made by making a cone out of fondant and then cutting into the cone to make a tree.  There are many tutorials on this on youtube.com, and the results are amazing.  They really look like mini ever green trees.
The railroad track was the biggest challenge because it had to match the toy Thomas the Train but the end result was really cute and the child got to keep the toy as a bonus present.
