Wedding Cake
The Wedding Cake strain originated in Los Angeles, California and was developed for mass production by Seed Junky Genetics. The Wedding Cake strain is the beloved offspring of fan-fave strains Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Cherry Pie. The strain itself is just as tasty as it sounds. The most recognizable flavor profile you get when you taste Wedding Cake is vanilla, which, for cannabis enthusiasts, is a more than welcome flavor compared to some other, harsh flavor profiles. If you’re looking for proof of Wedding Cake’s popularity it won Strain of the Year by Leafly in 2019. It also won “Best Hybrid Flower” at the 2018 SoCal High Times Medical Cannabis Cup.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Wedding Cake takes the right amount of care and attention to be grown the way it deserves. A consistent temperature and humidity levels are required to prevent mold. The desired temperature for Wedding Cake is around 70 degrees fahrenheit. Utilizing a 16 hour light cycle is the most effective way to grow big, dense, THC-filled buds. Wedding Cake grows best in intense lighting conditions.
- Moisture control: Wedding Cake’s humidity requirements are between 40-50% during the vegetative stage. Dialing the humidity down during the flowering stage is a must. You’ll want to see humidity levels between 30-40% during flowering.
- Training Techniques: Wedding Cake performs really well in small spaces. Low-stress training methods like that of the Sea of Green technique is the best training method for this strain. Maximizing light exposure will promote lateral growth and an even canopy. Topping is also a good technique to use because it creates a bushier plant with more buds.

Dominant Terpenes in Wedding Cake: So Sweet
Wedding Cake’s terpene profile is fairly standard. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene while limonene and myrcene are in the background contributing to the aroma and sweet taste of the Wedding Cake strain.
- Caryophyllene: The Most Dominant – Spicy, peppery notes. Found in cinnamon, cloves and black pepper. It is what gives Wedding Cake’s vanilla flavor and undertones of spice.
- Myrcene: Couch-Lock– This terpene helps lower the resistance of the brain-blood barrier, which is what gives this strain its heady effects.
- Limonene: Earthy Notes – Combined with Myrcene and Caryophyllene, these three terpenes elevate mood and create an uplifting high. Get cozy and comfy, this strain is the perfect strain to help you unwind.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Wedding Cake:
Cannabinoids, although in the background, play an important role in Wedding Cake and are a huge part of the genetic makeup of cannabis in general. That creative, happy and relaxed feeling you get when you partake in Wedding Cake is due to the dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different and depending on how much THC and CBD there is it can produce a completely different effect on the body and mind.
- THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of Wedding Cake. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at an eye-watering 25%, the THC in the Indica-dominant Hybrid is responsible for the super relaxed feeling you get from its use. The generous THC levels in Wedding Cake are highly desired by cannabis users and growers.
- CBD: Low Doses – CBD is a cannabinoid that is non-psychoactive but can be found in most cannabis strains. The cannabinoid is found in smaller amounts in Wedding Cake and can be used for a lot of medicinal treatments like aches and pains and can help you get better sleep, faster.

The shipping was handled with great care and the packaging was completely unassuming, which is a big factor for my privacy as a home grower.
B. R. Verified Buyer
From a profile standpoint, Wedding Cake checks a lot of boxes. It combines high THC, low CBD, a balanced-but-indica-leaning split, intermediate grow difficulty, and a relatively fast 55 to 65 day flowering stage. Add in the major recognition it received in 2018 and 2019, and it clearly positions itself as one of the more established and respected hybrid strains on the site.
Orla Brooks Verified Buyer
I appreciated the quick shipping confirmation email, as it gave me peace of mind knowing that my order was being processed immediately.
TentRoyalty_Tara Verified Buyer
The support team was very knowledgeable about the lineage of this strain, which helped me better understand how to feed them for maximum resin.
Mira Collins Verified Buyer
The harvest was bountiful and the quality of the flowers is undeniable; they are dense, colorful, and completely covered in high-quality trichome heads.
Delia North Verified Buyer
Wedding Cake is everything I hoped for and more. All 5 seeds germinated within 48 hours. Plants grew stocky and dense with incredible resin production by week 6 of flower. The sweet, vanilla, earthy aroma is absolutely intoxicating. Effect is deeply relaxing with a euphoric edge. One of the most rewarding grows I’ve had in years. Grower’s Choice delivered top-tier genetics.
ColorfulColas_Chad Verified Buyer
The aroma on Wedding Cake is something else entirely — sweet vanilla and tangy earth with a slight pepper note on the back end. Plants were vigorous and healthy from seedling to harvest. Finished in about 60 days of flower. Buds are incredibly dense and frosty. Effect is potent and relaxing — perfect for evenings. Germination was 5/5. Absolutely outstanding strain.
lucidlane Verified Buyer
Every branch I topped resulted in two very strong and dominant new leads, proving that these plants are highly responsive to various training techniques.
IceCreamDreams_Ivy Verified Buyer
Ten years of growing and Wedding Cake from Grower’s Choice ranks among the best strains I’ve ever run. The combination of vigorous growth, exceptional resin production, complex sweet vanilla terpene profile, and potent relaxing effect is hard to match. Plants are consistent and predictable across runs. Seed quality and germination have been flawless every order. This is a benchmark strain.
Sadie Mercer Verified Buyer
Decent grow but not the premium experience I was expecting. Germination was 3/5 which was a letdown. The plants that grew were healthy and produced good quality flower — sweet vanilla aroma and a nice relaxing effect. But yield was on the lower end and the grow took a little longer than advertised. The genetics are clearly good — I just didn’t get the most out of them.
