The person is making a minnie mouse hat cake topper by folding a red strip towards them like a top, then folding the edges back and squeezing, adding a little bit of glue in the center, repeating the same type of folds on both ends of the strip and giving the ends a little pinch, carefully flipping the entire thing over and adding a little bit of glue to the back to make sure the center stays nice and closed, then flipping it over to reveal the finished minnie mouse hat cake topper.
