The speaker, Laurie, is a baker who is excited to share a new project with her audience. She is attempting to carve buttercream, a process similar to carving clay or candles, but with icing. The video is sponsored by Function and Beauty, a company that offers custom-formulated hair products. Laurie uses these products, which change with the season, to create a cake with a variety of colors.
She then proceeds to carve the cake, layering it with Italian meringue buttercream. Each layer of icing will be a different color, creating a unique visual effect when the snowflake shapes are carved through the cake. The icing needs to be chilled between each layer to ensure it sets properly.
Laurie also discusses her love for winter and how it affects her hair. She mentions a product called Function and Beauty, which offers custom-formulated shampoos and conditioners based on hair type and goals. She uses their products and recommends them to her audience.
Throughout the video, Laurie shares her process, including the challenges she faces and the satisfaction she gets from her work. She also shares some humor and personal anecdotes, such as her comparison of her snowflake carving to being a professional snowflake farmer.
Finally, Laurie thanks her audience for watching and wishes them a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
