In the video, a person is seen using a knife to spread white frosting on a red velvet cake. The cake is placed on a white plate, and the person is carefully spreading the frosting in a circular motion. The cake appears to be freshly baked, with a rich red color and a moist texture. The frosting is smooth and creamy, and the person is spreading it evenly across the top of the cake. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a kitchen setting.
