What is shown in the video?

The video was shared by Chirag Barjatya on Twitter. The clip opens to show a man cracking eggs in a cake maker. Then he adds flour and sugar to the egg mix. After whipping it for a while, they take out the mixture in a vessel and fill it in cake tins lined with sheets of newspaper - with bare hands. Once the cake sponge is baked, they cut it into heart shapes and decorate it with cream and floral decorations. What's notable in the video is that none of the workers in the factory are wearing any safety gear like gloves or hair caps while making the cakes. In the caption of the post, Chirag Barjatya wrote, "I had no idea this is how cakes are made."

This post was shared just two days ago. Since being shared, it has been viewed more than nine lakh times, and the numbers are only increasing. Several also shared comments on the video.

Check out a few reactions from people here:

An individual wrote, "Eggless cakes are really eggless' which is highly doubtful. Even if they are eggless, the utensils and the person baking them remain the same. Earlier, in my family, we used to cut Milk Cakes, and now I bake cakes myself." A second commented, "People will stop eating cakes after seeing this." A third shared, "Unhygienic cake making."
