In the video, a person is seen smoothing out a white cake on a silver cake stand. The person's hands are visible, and they are wearing a blue shirt with a green and white striped apron. The cake is round and appears to be covered in a layer of white frosting. The person uses their hands to evenly spread the frosting over the cake, ensuring that it is smooth and free of any bumps or imperfections. The background is a plain white surface, which provides a clean and uncluttered view of the cake-making process.
