Updated: June 15, 2012

The U.S. Army decided to celebrate its 237th birthday today with a tank made out of... cupcakes.

It's on display at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

It took 5,000 camouflage cupcakes to cover the wooden tank that weighs more than 2,500 pounds.

And it's battle ready! It's equipped with an air cannon that is capable of shooting cupcakes.
