I want a cake with Cannolis on the outside, but not a "cannoli" cake. I want flowers on top. Anybody ever done this?

I need to order a cake for a couple and she likes cannolis and he doesn't. I'm envisioning a cake that is a regular buttercream cake with pretty floral decor on top and cannolis standing around the outside edges like I've seen done with Kitkat. I can only find pictures with the cannolis on top. Has anybody ever done this? Would it be really ugly? The decorations on top could be more rustic with greenery and not a ton of flowers.
