Remove cake from pan; cut into pieces.
Place one-third of cake pieces in a food processor.
Process until crumbs form; set aside.
Repeat with remaining cake pieces.
Combine confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a large bowl.
Beat with an electric mixer on low speed just until combined.
Beat on medium speed until smooth, 1-2 minutes.
Add milk and pudding mix; beat on low speed until well combined.
Fold in whipped topping.
Sprinkle one-third of cake crumbs into the clean flowerpot (be sure to start with a new flowerpot).
Spoon half of pudding mixture on top of crumbs. Repeat layers, ending with cake crumbs.
