Meghan Trainor's New Parody "All About That Cake" Offers a Fun and Customizable Birthday Message

CLEVELAND, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- What's the best part of a birthday celebration? Well, the cake of course. And in American Greetings latest SmashUp® video ecard, that sentiment is heard far and wide by none other than GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter, Meghan Trainor. Trainor's award-winning song "All About That Bass" lyrics were updated to "All About That Cake" in this new SmashUp, making it a treat for all who receive it.

In the video, Trainor comes ready to party in a pink outfit decked out in bows, candy and a cupcake headband. The video feels like a true celebration, with a bright background, colorful balloons, a 12 ft. stand mixer and of course, plenty of personalized cakes. A life-sized, dancing cake is hilariously seen as one of Trainor's dance partners throughout.
