Ice Cream Cake

Ice Cream Cake is flower labelled as a sativa. The strain it is named for is a Wedding Cake and Gelato #33 cross, which Leafly and AllBud both describe as an indica-dominant hybrid.

Wedding Cake meets Gelato #33

Leafly describes an indica-dominant hybrid that comes from Wedding Cake and Gelato #33, shows the short code Icc next to the name and names Sherb Cream Pie and Halle Berry among its offspring. AllBud, which calls the strain rare, sets it at 75% indica and 25% sativa, an indica-dominant hybrid from a Gelato 33 and Wedding Cake cross. Our Ice Cream Cake strain page lists it as a heavily indica-dominant hybrid with the same two parents.

Vanilla, cream and cake batter

Leafly’s flavour write-up is a creamy one, sweet vanilla with notes of sugary dough, and its flavour tags are vanilla, butter and pepper. Its reviewers add an almost vanilla-forward smell with earthiness underneath, a buttery, nutty, creamy-fruity taste that is not too sweet, and a peppery exhale. Our strain page lists creamy vanilla and cake batter with light gassy notes.

AllBud says the flavour suits the name: cheesy and creamy, finishing on a sweet nuttiness that lingers after the last toke. The aroma follows the taste, with a light pungency that comes out as the buds burn. One AllBud reviewer says it tastes sweet and creamy, like vanilla ice cream. Another likened the strong, pungent smell of the burning bud to old-school cheese strains, plus gassy, cheesy pine notes.

Small, dense nugs in green and purple

AllBud pictures small, dense buds shaped like grapes: forest green, with thick orange hairs, frosted with white trichomes. One AllBud reviewer saw light green buds carrying some amber and plenty of purple, and Leafly’s growers describe buds in light green and purple under a layer of icy trichomes; a Leafly reviewer mentions chunky, tightly packed buds.

Terpenes, THC and reported feelings

In Leafly’s terpene numbers, caryophyllene comes first and limonene and linalool follow; our limonene explainer covers the second. Leafly’s strain page lists THC at 22% beside CBG at 1%, with the potency marked higher than average. AllBud’s average runs from 20% to 25%, while our strain page gives a typical range of 22% to 26%.

Leafly’s reviewers most often tag relaxed and hungry, and Leafly says the strain leaves mind and body fully relaxed. One Leafly reviewer describes feeling happy, relaxed and a little talkative. AllBud describes a lifted, relaxing high: a cerebral rush of happiness and ease first, then a body high that creeps in and deepens. Its effect tags are body high, hungry, relaxing and uplifting.
