I'm making my son's 5th birthday party cake tomorrow and he wants an army cake. Can any of you amazing people give me some suggestions on how to make the icing look camo without using a star tip? I don't want to use the tip, I'd love for it to have a smooth finish. I'm just not sure how to go about it.... I use BC make with butter, PS, Almond extract, and milk.

This website in the best thing I've ever found for cake decorating!!!! You all are so wonderful!

there was a previous thread with a camo tutorial:

I recently did a camo cake and just used tan buttercream and sprayed it with green & black color spray. If I could do it over again, I would also use some orange.
