How to Decorate a Wildflower Smash Cake

My niece will be turning 1 in a few weeks! My sister wanted to decorate her smash cake for her pictures, so I told her I would make a video showing her how to decorate it. I put together some of the inspiration pictures that she sent, and this is the cake I came up with.
Vanilla Cake: Bake at 325°F 10 minutes then rotate and bake another 15 minutes until toothpick comes out clean and cake springs back when touched
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Oil
3 Eggs
1 T Vanilla
1/2 cup Sour Cream
2 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 T Baking Powder
1 t Salt
1 1/4 cup Milk
Buttercream Icing:
(This is the recipe used in this video…I usually double this recipe when I make icing for icing a whole cake. It fits perfect in the stand mixer)
1 Pound Room Temp Butter
1 T Vanilla
4 cups Powdered Sugar
1/8 cup Milk if needed
