Camouflage Army Cakes

My nephew is 18 this week and my sister in law has asked me to make his birthday cake. He's in the army so we thought a military cake theme would be nice.

I've googled a few ideas and think I will try some of these.i hope no one minds me linking to their pictures, I have stated the sources and am definitely not trying to pass off any of these amazing creations as my own (mine will not look as good as these!).

How about making the cupcake itself a camouflage cake? From http://www.my-creativeway.com/2011/06/tutorial-how-to-make-camo-cupcakes.html

These camouflage cupcake toppers were created by  http://www.cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/camouflage-basketball-and-wu-tang-red.html

 These soldier toppers are just the cutest: http://curiouscupcakes.livejournal.com/843390.html

I would love to  be good enough at cake decorating to command the £125 that http://www.thecakestore.co.uk/army-cupcake-tower/ is offering this collection at!

I think I will make one large cake and cover with camouflage icing, some lettering that I will make from icing run outs and toy soldiers finished off with a black ribbon.
