One fan who goes by Happy-Breakfast on Reddit uploaded a video Wednesday showing off the construction of a delicious-looking Tom Nook chocolate cake created by Sugar High Score on TikTok. Its intricately designed fondant icing makes the cake a sight to behold, even if it’s disturbing to watch the Animal Crossing character get his face cut open at the end.

Nook’s presence in the series since its first entry and his in-game antics, from constant loan sharking to his feud with the shady fox Redd, have led to there being plenty of fan-made memes online. Nook has a similar role in New Horizons but he also shares some of the island duties with his sons and a few other helpers. Still, he’s arguably the most iconic character in the series and this Tom Nook cake is a good example of Animal Crossing’s popularity bleeding into real life.
With Tom Nook serving as one of the unofficial mascots for Animal Crossing, it only makes sense that he be used in any number of fan creations. But while a lot of the fan creations have been artistic in nature, others choose to imagine what the future of Animal Crossing: New Horizons could look like. One fan even created a fake Nintendo Direct that highlights some “upcoming” features for Animal Crossing: New Horizons that they hope are actually in the works.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
