Wedding Cake Strain Review

While the creator of Wedding Cake remains a mystery, it’s believed to be a cross-breed between two noteworthy parents: Cherry Pie and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Still, this legacy is sometimes disputed by seedbanks. Many claim Wedding Cake is a Triangle Mints phenotype.

Regardless of the exact origin, the strain is an Indica-dominant hybrid (about 60% Indica and 40% Sativa) with a very high THC count (averages 25%).

The effects of Wedding Cake tend to come on quicker than other strains. This is largely due to its high potency of around 25% THC, which you’ll be sure to notice almost immediately.

As mentioned, this strain is a hybrid. Most users initially notice the Sativa effects – providing them with feelings of euphoria and giddiness. However, these effects will eventually melt into an Indica-dominated body high which is defined by warm and pleasant rushes through the body and relaxation. Still, even once the Indica aspect of this strain kicks in, certain Sativa effects will remain prominent, such as your environmental awareness.

Naturally, these unique effects have been attractive to both recreational and medicinal users. However, the reason for this reaction differs between the two users:

Unfortunately, Wedding Cake has always had a reputation for being one of the more difficult strains to grow. This is namely because the original growers kept their craftsmanship in secret. It wasn’t until recently that you could garner seeds for this strain. In most instances, growers would take clippings to produce a clone.

Luckily, with seeds now available, experienced growers should have no problem harvesting this strain. Wedding Cake does well in both indoor and outdoor grows, as long as the environment is suited. The strain does best around 70°F (21°C). It also really enjoys humidity (which means indoor grows will need to adjust humidifiers and dehumidifiers accordingly).

Indoor grows will likely enter the flowering stage about 8 weeks after planting. In total, Wedding Cake typically yields 16 ounces per meter squared.

For outdoor growers, Wedding Cake is only appropriate if you’re in an area with a moderate year-round climate. As mentioned, it does best in temperatures of 70°F. Being that harvest will likely be sometime in mid-October, those in colder areas may find the plant struggles to maintain high quality during this period.

Put simply, Wedding Cake tastes like a dessert and this is largely where it gets its namesake from. It has a sticky sweetness with soft notes of vanilla followed by an earthy flavoring. As such, Wedding Cake is a popular strain for edible makers. Still, it provides you with delicious tastes even when just smoked.

And this delicious flavor is matched by the aroma. Many have referred to the smell of the strain as similar to that of cookies, cake, butter, sweetness, and sugar. Once smoked, the after-scent may also leave behind gingery, spicy, nutty, and skunky aromas.

We definitely recommend Wedding Cake to both recreational and medical users alike. The Indica-dominant effects of this strain make it a perfect relaxation tool at the end of a hard day’s work. However, such effects also hold the potential to provide you with versatile medical relief, namely from conditions like stress and insomnia.

Being that it’s difficult to grow, we don’t recommend cultivating it for those learning to grow cannabis. Instead, we recommend growing more established strains, such as GSC or Cherry Pie. From there, you can always opt to attempt to clone Wedding Cake.
