Wedding Cake Strain Review

This strain is a cross of the famous Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie, making it a hybrid, perhaps leaning on the Sativa-dominant side, although in reality delivering effects on both ends of the spectrum.

The sample I’m smoking today comes from an unspecified part of the US. Speaking to my source, I would doubt this batch came from California. I also don’t know if it originally came in a tin or vacuum-packed.

Wedding Cake Strain Summary

Wedding Cake, also affectionately known in some circles as Pink Cookies, stands out as a quintessentially powerful Indica-dominant hybrid, boasting THC levels that range impressively between 22.67% and 25.33%. This strain is a genetic masterpiece resulting from the union of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie, inheriting their potency and complex flavour profiles. Its aroma is an intricate tapestry of earthy, citrus, and sweet vanilla notes, attributed to a rich terpene palette including Myrcene, Camphene, Valencene, Linalool, and Caryophyllene.

The experience of the Wedding Cake cannabis strain is as multifaceted as its flavour, initially welcoming users with a wave of euphoria and upliftment, before gently ushering in profound relaxation. It’s recommended for evening use, given its potent effects which can include heightened sensory perception and a significant case of the munchies, alongside therapeutic relief for conditions such as pain, PMS symptoms, ADHD, and fatigue.

For cultivators, the Wedding Cake strain presents a rewarding challenge, thriving in fertile soil or hydroponic setups and capable of reaching lofty heights. It flowers within 7 to 10 weeks, with potential harvests yielding about 150 grams per square metre. This strain’s alluring complexity and potent effects make it a celebrated choice among cannabis connoisseurs.

Appearance

The sample of the Wedding Cake strain I’m reviewing is incredibly dense, like a little green boulder. The whole bud is uniform in its overdevelopment, looking like it has had some PGR influence.

The trim job is great, no leaves are to be found anywhere on this bud. The pistils are small, light-golden and woven into the bud, not easily seen or protruding wildly.

The colouration is a light green with flecks of darker green and gold, with lots of frosted trichomes covering the whole Wedding Cake sample.

Smell

I am not impressed with the smell of this cannabis strain, at all. I think it’s this particular sample, which fails to give off much of a detectable scent at all – I could have this in my pocket on public transport and it wouldn’t even smell.

Breaking open the sample (twice – the first time didn’t result in any smell) I finally get a little of the scent- it’s a sweet, earthy cookie scent that leans more towards the Girl Scout Cookies than the Cherry Pie.

Grinding up this sample I get more of the same – a little sweet, delicate scent, but nothing comes out in full force.

How disappointing for US-imported bud!

Taste

I have decided to go for two methods of consumption today – first up it’s my trusted Chongz Widow Maker, still my favourite bong for size, shape and hit. I will also roll up some of this Wedding Cake into a joint.

The bong goes down well – good flavour, and not much intensity. I would say this is a good method of consumption for this strain. Had more flavour than I was expecting based on the smell, plus marks from me.

Smoking this in a joint, I get more of a slight peppery taste that didn’t come through my bong.

Both methods deliver a sweet, enjoyable flavour that suggests this sample of Wedding Cake is well-cured.

Effects

The Wedding Cake effects are strong, and kick in from about 4-5 minutes after consumption – Sent me on a bit of a ride up to 7/8 out of 10 after the bong hit, but it doesn’t come with any anxiety-inducing intensity.

The joint is less inebriating, but still enjoyable and I find myself wanting to go back for more and more! The flavour comes through a joint well.

Conclusion

The taste and effects brought this strain back for me a bit, although I stand by my concerns about PGRs in this sample. The appearance is a little too uniform, and it doesn’t smell like it should.

Overall, I enjoyed the review, loved the high (and the flavour) and would like to try another batch of Wedding Cake to compare differences.

More Wedding Cake Cannabis Strain Information – Part 2

Smoke Report by ISMOKE Founder Tyler Green

Almost a year after first coming across wedding cake I was fortunate enough to pick up a supposed ‘Cali Tin’ of Wedding Cake. I wasted no time in taking a detailed look at this batch of Wedding Cake Weed, and how it compared to the previous episode. Read my review below!

Report 2: This canned flower sample itself originates from the US, although it was likely ‘canned’ in the UK for marketing purposes.

The topic of tinned weed itself is a bit controversial – while the hype means that can prices generally exceed bag prices and the bud quality is supposed to be better, the bud inside isn’t always top-drawer, and the gimmick has been criticised on social media platforms such as Instagram after stories emerged of people cracking open £120 cans to find old brown buds inside.

But the roaring trade in canned flowers continues, and today we are going to open up a can of Wedding Cake and see what all the fuss is about.

Background

Wedding Cake is a phenotype of Triangle Mints (Triangle Kush x Animal Mints), bred by Seed Junky Genetics and popularised by Jungle Boys.

There are some other versions of “Wedding Cake” which can lead to some confusion, but this version is the real deal.

Appearance

The packaging is tidy and colourful, with strong popping branding on the tin. There is a warning on the side saying to keep away from Children, high THC etc.

Opening up the can, it is filled with small but frosty-looking nugs of Wedding Cake.

The buds have a strong green colour with trichome frosting, and although on the small side, each has been trimmed with care.

The buds in this sample don’t look like boulders (the last sample of Wedding Cake we reviewed was PGR-influenced). Instead, each bud has its shape, perhaps leaning towards the pinecone shape that can characterise this strain.

Smell

As soon as the can is opened, the familiar and exciting scent of the Wedding Cake cannabis strain is released. I can smell the sweet vanilla/lemon hints of this strain before I’ve even held it in my hands.

Breaking open the bud the smell comes out in even more detail – what this strain lacks in pungency it delivers strong sweet and distinguishable notes.

Taste + Smoking Experience

I have two bongs with me for today’s smoke report – the Jaxx Baron Recycler and the trusty Chongz Widowmaker.

The taste of the Wedding Cake comes through very well during both bowls, with the flavour appreciation beginning during the inhale, the sign of a well-cured sample. The Widowmaker (hit second) delivers a smoother hit (despite being caked in tar) which helps me set a baseline for this strain.

The smoking experience is almost smooth but with a slight acidity towards the end of the exhale. The ash is greyer than expected, although not black, hard, or generally giving cause for alarm.

Effects

This Indica-dominant hybrid strain packs a punch, delivering over 20% THC. And I can feel that quite quickly after consuming the bongs; it starts with a mild relaxation which gets stronger in waves as that familiar stoney uplifting feeling begins to kick in.

I feel like the wedding cake weed strain may be good for things like anxiety and pain relief, but that is speaking from the perspective of somebody using it for neither. I noticed my body felt good and my mind was at rest.

Conclusion

Wedding Cake by Seed Junky Genetics is a very nice strain. Despite the hype around tinned cannabis, this one lives up to the expectation and delivers a good example of how the strain should look, smell, taste and feel.

This sample beats the last Wedding Cake we reviewed and was generally a pleasure to smoke, only let down by the less-than-white colour of the ash.
