my fiance and i are both in the army so we are having a lot of military decorations. we are also having a lot of pink floral decorations. I need hint on decorating an icecream cake to fit this theme without using icing.

I would place little plastic army men all over the cake... Flowers are easy because you can buy all kinds of them premade or use real pink flowers. I would have army men battling in a field of pink flowers!! You could also just do a very trational layered tier cake (can still be ice cream just need to buy the stand at any craft store) and decortate it with little pink flowers like a traditional wedding cake. Then stick the little army men on the top of the cake like the wedding figures would go. You prob check and even find a army wedding figures cake toppers- they make some many different ones. CHECK OUT THE SECOND LINK- THEY HAVE SOME REALLY CUTE STUFF!!

You could decorate it pretty much anyway you want to. This web site shows pics of ice cream wedding cakes. Click on the last names to see how they were decorated.

Pink and green has become a very popular wedding color and it is everywhere. Maybe decorate the cake with pink flowers and have an army bride and groom cake topper.
Or something like this:

you can have green ribbon wrapped around the layers.

Here are some pics of wedding cakes that may help inspire you. Take the ideas and make them your own. Adding ribbon is a great way to tie in the green.

I think the Army B&G topper is an excellent idea!
If Camo is too much for icing the entire cake, maybe you could use camo ribbon accenting the layers. You can still use the pink flowers, pink and green are great together.

why icecream at a wedding? Isn't that more for children's birthday parties?? Brown and pink are very in right now. You could use chocolate icecream and put pink flowers on it with that gel stuff. The military shouldn't be involved in an icecream cake.

Tough one. The pink camo came to mind, but I'm sure the groom wouldn't be too fond of that.
I do like the idea of a camo cake though... I think it'd be really cool looking (OK, maybe that's just me). What if camo were used and pink were substituted for just one of the lighter colors? kind of tie the themes together....

Tanks in green/camo, and have the shells/artillery (the things that go boom) in pink - you know, like a pink splotch where the target is hit.
