Easy cake icing recipes ?

It’s my daughter’s one year birthday tomorrow, and I made a cake. I’m not much of an expert at decorating it though. Any easy ideas that will look great ? (I thought about candy sprinkles, but she is too little and I’m worried she’ll choke on them)

Also, how much cake to I need for about 20 -25 people ? I made two nine by thirteen ones and put them one on top of the other with blueberry pie filling in between. I have ice-cream to go with it. Is this enough ?
