Good work, re: the iceskating. Now you need to use it to your advantage : what can you do with this to make your intentions clear? Her question makes me think she suspects why you decided on ice skating. That she agreed and other information makes me think she may be open to (and possibly even expecting) some sort of romantic advancement.
Remember, subtlety isn't what you're going for hear. Flowers are a good option. So is a kiss, if the mood is right. Holding hands will almost definitely work for you this weekend, based on what you're telling me.
I think you're getting a good idea as to how to proceed. It's up to you to gauge the mood and figure out what's going to work. Just carpe diem, my man. Don't worry about her rejecting you. Leave the fear and doubt and nervousness behind for now - find an actual physical container that you can put it in for now if you have to, so you can worry about it later.
The onus is on you. Judging on what you've told us she almost definitely likes you, but she's definitely not going to make a move and she's not going to wait around forever. If you're going to do it, this weekend is prime time for it.
Don't worry about who else is around either. If they don't know you, they don't matter. You'll never see them again, what do you care what they think? If they're friends of yours, they'll probably be rooting for you and if they're friends of her - well, they're probably still rooting for you. Everybody wants their friends to be happy.
So stop worrying about doing it and just bloody well do it, y'know?
