In the video, a person is seen working with a piece of white fondant on a rotating cake stand. The person is using their hands to shape and mold the fondant into a specific form. The fondant appears to be soft and pliable, allowing the person to manipulate it easily. The rotating stand helps the person to work on all sides of the fondant without having to move it manually. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a kitchen or a workspace with various items and tools.
