Wedding Cake Cannabis Strain Review

By: Blythe Broadbin

The Wedding Cake strain is just as delicious as it sounds. A phenotype of Triangle Mints, this strain also goes by the name “Pink Cookies.”

Wedding Cake is a hybrid strain bred by Seed Junky Genetics. Using a Triangle Kush female and an Animal Mints male, Wedding Cake was born from a beautiful union. It was also Leafly’s 2019 Strain of the Year.

What is the Wedding Cake of cannabis?

Triangle Kush is a legendary strain. Incorporating Animal Mints into the genotype was a no-brainer.

The marriage of the two produced Wedding Cake, an uber-popular strain, famous for it’s potency and it’s taste.

Many users describe a richness that can only be found by otherwise eating a triple layer cake.

There are 88 direct descendants of this strain, so it’s clear that this plant is a popular one.

But buyer beware, this strain is Potent with a capital P. Usually falling around 21% THC, this is not for the faint of heart. Cut yourself a slice, but don’t smoke your cake and eat it too.

Wedding Cake review: Flavor, smell, appearance

Key to any strain is the olfactory experience it gives off. But many of our consumers are not sommeliers. So allow us to answer the most important question. Does this strain taste and smell as good as it looks? The answer is yes.

Flavor

Wedding Cake has a distinctly sweet, earthy taste. Some users detect peppery notes, while others sided more with an herbal highlight.

Limonene terpenes are most prevalent. Playing off of it’s tangy lemon notes are layers of rich vanilla that lend themselves beautifully to the pine undertones.

Love eating icing out of the can? This could be your low calorie option.

Smell

As deliciously flavored as it is scented, Wedding Cake is a strain you’ll actually enjoy having around the house.

It’s not a Yankee Candle; there is no doubt it is a cannabis strain, but the correlation between the name and the scent leaves no room for speculation.

Wedding Cake smells distinctly fruity in it’s design, but the warm vanilla bean aroma is a welcome one.

Appearance

This dark green nug is a sight to behold. It’s crystalline structures glisten, almost giving the buds a glazed appearance.

Absolutely jam packed with trichomes. The orange hairs, or pistils, aren’t as prevalent in this strain, but they are still sprinkled throughout.

Still, when rolled or packed, this pretty puff isn’t likely to disappoint in the looks department. It’s a dense bud.

Tightly packed with purple and maroon tones, it’s indica-typical.

Mind and body effects of Wedding Cake

Everyone reacts to cannabis differently, but most consumers describe a relaxed, happy effect when using Wedding Cake.

Goodbye racing thoughts, goodbye anxious feelings! Wedding cake is here to make you euphoric, uplifted, and as one can expect, hungry.

While not as “in-da-couch” as other indicas will leave you, Wedding Cake is definitely going to mellow you out.

It’s potency is serious, so you won’t second-guess feeling it when the dessert course arrives.

Possible medical benefits of Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake may be helpful to those who experience depression. Many users of indica strains have reported improvement in affective symptoms such as depression and anxiety with cannabis use.

It also has been known to aid in a restful night’s sleep for those with insomnia. A study by the Department of Psychology at the University of New Mexico supports this claim. Others have reported it helps with arousal and sexual performance.

Review of Wedding Cake side effects

A positive of Wedding Cake is that it is extremely relaxing. It can lead to a better night’s sleep, and it may help with overall feelings of anxiety without the jittery experience that a sativa might give.

It smells and tastes as good as it sounds, and for someone who may have to partake nightly just to get some shut eye, that is great news.

However, it is extremely potent. This is not for the inexperienced user. Even a seasoned seed connoisseur would have to use caution when indulging in Wedding Cake.

To sum it up: Wedding Cake review

Wedding Cake is a delightful little treat that packs a serious punch. It’s notes of lemon and citrus fruit highlight the aromas of pine and pepper.

This is one cake that is seriously well seasoned. Falling on average at around 21% THC, this strain is no joke. Partake carefully, and enjoy your little slice of heaven.
