So, what’s a shag cake?

A shag cake is a cake that has been decorated in a certain style which has been named ‘shag’. You use “grass piping” tips and many colors of buttercream frosting.

Then using the “grass piping” tips you use a freeform motion to decorate your cake in a psychedelic splash of colors.

The finished look is very reminiscent of the a970s shag carpets and rugs. This is a super fun way to celebrate at a throwback or retro themed party.

Alana Jones-Mann appears to be the creator of the superfly trend (using my 70s lingo as much as possible).
