In the video, a person is seen using a spatula to spread white icing on a cake. The cake is placed on a white tray, and the person is spreading the icing evenly across the top and sides of the cake. The icing appears to be thick and creamy, and the cake itself is not visible beneath the icing. The person's movements are smooth and deliberate, ensuring that the icing is spread evenly without any visible drips or smudges. The background is a kitchen counter, and there are no other objects or people visible in the video.
