I had this idea - shape a bread into - '2024'.  Is this possible?  only bread I could think of was challah or somthing you braid? I would like it more sweet, maybe with something added like a dessert... pastry cream? chocolate? sweetness..

any suggestions?

Then how about Purim Challah? 

No particular recipe. It should be sweet and fun. You can add-in raisins. Glaze and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands. 

Look up ideas as there are many recipes.

How about tubes (like cinnamon rolls), just don't slice them before baking. You could use any filling. Place the numbers close enough together that they would join when rising, but not so close that the shapes would be obliterated. When baked, it could be sliced any way, in any direction (I think).
