DEEP DIVE
The “All About Cake” dance is going viral on TikTok. While just as popular as Twitter’s Everything Is Cake memes, there is unfortunately no relation between the two. But the choreo by @Mehki (formerly @Mehkivuitton) is just as entertaining. It is marked by the woah and crossing arm motions. It’s actually is performed to a mash-up of Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” and Playboi Carti’s “Cake” by music producer and TikToker @Kyleyoumadethat.
Lyrics:
I talk the cake, yeah.
All about cake, yeah.
Can’t really relate.
All about cake.
I’m trynna
Cake cake, cake, cake, cake cake.
