Prowlers and Paragons Ultimate

Besides locations and creatures, please feel free to suggest events, adventures, and characters. All characters in the world are talking animals.
Nothing in the setting has to make sense, so feel free to recommend anything you can imagine.
General idea : basically sword and sorcery but it's like a children's book and takes place in a holiday / dessert / candy-themed world. Pretty much an episode of adventure time.
All fauna and terrain is made of some kind of food. All water features (rivers, lakes, etc.) are filled with milk instead of water, and milk has the inherent magical property of being permanently self-chilling, and it is always clean and safe to drink.
All sapient animals are "normal" (except that they talk and wear clothes). All non-sapient animals are made of food.
Pretty much nothing smaller than a mouse exists, so no insects, parasites, or other such creepy jeebies, unless they can be made whimsical. Bumblebees specifically get an exception, and are actually flying jolly ranchers. Giant versions of insects can exist as monsters.
When a monster is defeated, it vanishes in a puff of magic (colored appropriately for the monster's theme) and a burst of rainbow sprinkles, and leaves behind some gumdrops (the universal currency of the realm), and sometimes crafting materials.
Our heroes begin their adventure in the quaint hamlet of Coldstone. It is under the protection of the Local Lady, Miss Wendy Wingspan the heron, the friendly, nervous, and somewhat absent-minded administrator who says "great goosefeathers!" a lot, and wears a sun dress and huge circular spectacles. She is rarely seen without her aide at her side, the good Mister Edgar Etchingcroft, the stern and dour yet compassionate bearded vulture with impressive eyebrows, an adorable vest, and a monocle.
Some biome ideas, just the broad strokes for now :
When not otherwise stated, soil / rock is typically chocolate. Snow is white sugar.
Forest : Candy canes grow to the size of redwood trees, and their seeds are peppermint candies. Moss is cotton candy. Birds are peeps. Toblerodents scurry underfoot. You may encounter White Chocolate Wendigos. Coldstone is located here.
Mallowmarsh : A great morass of marshmallow substance, it collects into big piles that bunch up against the shores. Here you can find the chocodile and the vanilligator. The mangrove trees have waffle bark and maple syrup sap.
Cinnamon desert : The cacti are made of jello. Keep an eye on the sky, don't let the Ferrero Roc snatch you up. Watch your step too, those twizzler rattlesnakes don't take kindly to being stepped on. You may encounter giant peanut-brittle-shelled scorpions.
Brown sugar beach : Here you might find coconut-cream crabs and tortoises that have hollowed-out jawbreakers for shells. The fish are swedish fish.
The creamy north : Terrible and majestic, but not barren. Many creatures call this region home, including the popsicle penguins and cola bears. Most marine animals like seals, dolphins and sharks are gummies, similar to the aforementioned swedish fish. Massive icecreambergs float on the milk sea.
I may include crafting materials themed after each biome, I'm undecided on this right now.
