So, I was wrong, in that it was not cake. I am re watching it in a lower defiition, but the white blob on Troi’s upper lip is what I think the food was. I’m not sure if it actually is food, but it is a miscolouration. If you have a HD-er version, it’s at the 30 min mark when Crusher, Qgirl and Troi are in Ten Forward, before Riker shows up.
It disappears in subsequent shots.
It does look like some light shining off the table onto her lips
In 1080p here, it looks like just a glare from her shiny lipstick.
Furthermore, she was never shown actually putting any food to her mouth in this scene. Knowing how actors tend to avoid actually eating during a shot in which their character eats food, I would be surprised to find out that this actor had residual food on their face when the scene did not require them to actually put food near their face at all.
