In space, freezing outside in, the surface tension of water would probobly surround the ice as it freezes - so you wouldn't get round icecubs, but more organic shapes, maybe cloud like shaped ice cubs, cause ice wouldn't simply form on the outside and freeze inward, but it would form and then effectively sink and more water would form around it due to water's tendency to do that in zero G. Freezing water in zero G, assuming 1 ATM, would be interesting to watch.
