The video shows a person frosting a cake with white icing using a spatula. The cake has three layers, with the bottom layer being chocolate and the top two layers being vanilla. The person starts by spreading the icing on the top layer and then moves on to the middle layer, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly. The video is shot from a top-down perspective, and the person's hands are visible as they work on the cake. The cake is placed on a white plate, and the background is a kitchen counter.
