The video is a tutorial on making a cream for decorating flowers from ordinary kefir. The host starts by freezing two liters of kefir, then thawing it and straining it through a cheesecloth or a paper towel to separate the curds from the whey. The curds are then mixed with powdered sugar, cornstarch, and water to create a custard-like cream.
The host demonstrates how to cook the cream on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes dense. The cream is then kneaded with a spatula until it's smooth and homogeneous.
The host tests the cream by making various flowers, including ranunculus, peonies, and tulips, using different nozzles and techniques. The cream is found to be delicate, yet holds its shape well, and has a matte finish. The host notes that the cream can be colored without separating or becoming too soft.
The host also notes that the cream can be used to make grass and curls, and that it's perfect for making tall caps and decorative designs. The video ends with the host encouraging viewers to try making the cream, especially if they're fans of the curd taste.
