In the video, a person is seen spreading white frosting on a cake. The cake is placed on a silver tray, and the person is using a spatula to spread the frosting evenly across the top of the cake. The cake appears to be a large, round cake with a light brown color. The frosting is thick and creamy, and the person is spreading it in a circular motion. The background is not visible, and the focus is solely on the cake and the person's hands.
