The TikToker begins the video by cutting a chunk off of a regular round cake.

Then she covers the cake in what appears to be green icing before wrapping the cake in a clear, plastic sheet.

She crafts little koi fish and rocks out of what looks like fondant and places them on the wrapped-up cake before filling the sheet with a blue liquid that settles. She layers the fish and rocks between pours of liquid.

The gelatin-like texture comes from agar-agar powder, the cake decorator wrote in the comments. Agar-agar powder is plant-based gelatin that comes from seaweed, and you can find it at local grocery stores for around $10.

The TikToker removes the sheet she wrapped the cake in once the edible pond settles. She finishes the cake with details like lily pads, rocks, and green moss.
