i love these piggy bank cakes, based on a carole deacon design, if you can get to the library they mght have the book.
very cute and fairly simple too. just bake in a bowl/ ball pan, and thats really it. cover in fondant, fondant eyes, imprint in the fondant skin.
you could have grass on the board, or maybe a baby blanket pattern?

This might not be what you're looking for, but I thought it was super cute:

Maybe you could do 40 individual ones?

Here is one that I did for a little girl that loves pigs. I made it out of fondant.

I would think that you could make a 3d one pretty simply using the stand up bear pan. I woud cut off the ears replace them with fondant ears, snout, I can envision it, I hope you know what I mean.
