The ground cover consists of clovers, vines, some purple looking flowers, baby’s breath. I do want it to grow back to fill in with the flowers. But I do have to rake it up to lay the seeds right? Or can I just lay the seeds over the ground cover and shake the cover so the seeds fall under? Will that work or do I need to still rake up the cover?

you should clear small areas of the groundcover by cutting it back and digging up the roots – try maybe 3- 4" round in various spots and plant your seeds there , thats done simply with a garden shovel and fliping the ground and removing roots, then just throw down the wildflower seeds lightly in all the other places and shake the cover to let the seeds find the ground, most wildflowers grow deep and strong roots and will find a spot to root into and come up through the groundcover but there are a few (probley about half depending on the type of seeds you have) that would require a spot actually cleared away for them to grow properly…but if you want to keep the groundcover to fill in your best off doing a few small cleared area just to let the seeds get off to a good start. The groundcover you mentioned is all quickly growing and somewhat invasive – so whatever you clear away will quickly regrow to fill in.

I have begun to make fondant cakes and when I cover cake with fondant, buttercream always seems to ooze out from bottoms. So can I completely skip the buttercream or is it necessary? I do let the buttercream completely set. I usually leave it for 2 days before I cover it, that doesn’t seem to work. Or do I need to make buttercream thicker?

The butter cream layer that goes under the fondant is put on thin, it is meant to be a crumb coat. In other words, to contain the crumbs[bind them up in frosting] so top layers of frosting do not have crumbs. Buddy on Cake Boss calls this dirty frosting. For fondant, it is supposed to make a smooth surface, and I would guess help glue the fondant to the cake. So we are not supposed to glop it on, Use just enough to catch all the crumbs. It is not a fancy frosted cake, just the layer to prep for the fondant.
If it is oozing out, you might have too much on the cake, you might be putting too much at the bottom of the cake, and it might be too thin/soft, consistency wise. and You just need it just soft/thin enough to spread.
Have you seen Cake Boss or Ace of Cakes on cable/dish? Great shows, and both show the bakers and decorators doing their craft step by step.
You should not have to leave it set. That leads me to believe your frosting is too consistency wise thin, or put on toothick and gloppy.
and chill the cake before you put on the buttercream crumb coat.
