Wedding Cake (The Dessert King) - Wedding Cake, also known as Pink Cookies or Birthday Cake, is an indica-dominant hybrid that has taken the cannabis world by storm with its delicious flavor profile and powerful effects. A cross between Triangle Kush and Animal Mints (a GSC descendant), Wedding Cake delivers a sweet, vanilla-forward taste with earthy and peppery undertones that create a complex and satisfying experience. The strain typically tests between 20-25% THC, making it a potent choice for experienced users seeking deep relaxation and stress relief.
Wedding Cake's effects begin with a cerebral rush that brings about feelings of happiness and euphoria, followed by a warm, relaxing body high that can border on sedating. Users report feeling deeply relaxed without being completely couch-locked, making it ideal for evening unwinding or creative pursuits that don't require physical activity. The strain is particularly effective for managing stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. Many users appreciate that Wedding Cake provides mental clarity despite its relaxing properties, allowing for introspection and peaceful contemplation.
The buds of Wedding Cake are visually striking—dense, heart-shaped nuggets covered in a thick blanket of frosty trichomes that give them a snow-dusted appearance. The coloring is typically bright green with occasional purple hues, and vibrant orange pistils add pops of color throughout the structure. The resin production is exceptional, making Wedding Cake a favorite for concentrate makers.
Growing Wedding Cake requires moderate skill and attention. The plant tends to stay relatively short and bushy with indica-dominant structure, making it suitable for smaller indoor spaces. It responds well to techniques like SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low-Stress Training) to maximize canopy exposure. Flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks, with moderate to high yields of extremely resinous buds. The strain prefers a warm, dry environment and benefits from careful nutrient management to bring out its full flavor potential.
