Wedding Cake

Medium to large AAA+ buds of hybrid flower make up this Wedding Cake, in weights running from 1 g through 28 g. Leafly picked the strain as its Strain of the Year for 2019.

Triangle Kush, Animal Mints and the Pink Cookies name

Leafly and AllBud both describe Wedding Cake as a cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints. Leafly says the strain is sold in Canada as Pink Cookies and also gives Triangle Mints #23 as another name. Leafly’s genetics box shows Ice Cream Cake and LA Kush Cake as its children.

This flower is listed as indica-dominant. AllBud puts the strain at 60% indica and 40% sativa, and Leafly’s description calls it a potent indica-hybrid.

Medium to large buds graded AAA+

AAA+ is one of the informal letter grades that Canadian sellers attach to flower as a quality shorthand; it is a seller’s label rather than an official standard. AllBud describes Wedding Cake buds as dense, frosty and shaped like pine trees, with dark green leaves and plenty of orange hairs, and one Leafly reviewer says the flower grinds up soft and fluffy. Creamy, earthy, sweet, vanilla and berry notes make up the aroma of this flower.

Vanilla, pepper and cherry-pie sweetness

Leafly describes a rich, tangy flavour with earthy pepper undertones and shows vanilla, pepper and butter as its top flavours. AllBud calls the aroma very sweet and says the taste blends cookie sweetness with cherry-pie fruitiness, adding that the strain is best known for its sugary taste and high potency. The same Leafly reviewer tasted vanilla cake with a touch of citrus.

Caryophyllene, which Leafly pairs with pepper, is the most abundant terpene on its strain page, followed by limonene and myrcene. Our Wedding Cake strain page ties the peppery edge of its vanilla, tangy dough flavour to limonene and caryophyllene.

THC, reported effects and 2,709 ratings

Leafly gives the strain about 24% THC and 1% CBG and reads its potency as higher than average. AllBud lists 25% to 27% THC. Relaxed, euphoric and hungry are the three effects Leafly reviewers report most often, while AllBud’s effect tags are creative, euphoria and relaxing. Wedding Cake averages 4.5 on Leafly across 2,709 ratings and 4.7 on AllBud from 281 votes.

Health Canada‘s lower-risk page puts a first smoke or vape far lower than these figures: one or two puffs of something at 10% THC or under, with the peak arriving as much as 30 minutes after the first draw. Its lower-risk use guidelines want 6 clear hours between cannabis and driving.
