A dessert indica for a coastal October, from a seed bank on the coast
Wedding Cake likes a warm, dry finish, and on the BC coast and in southern Ontario it ripens in early to mid October, often just ahead of the autumn rain. Our seeds are stored a short drive from those coastal gardens, in our Vancouver, BC seed bank, and leave in plain packaging for any province in 3 to 7 business days, with no customs step. Every batch is viability tested before it ships and covered by our 80% germination guarantee, and each 10 and 25 seed pack is buy one get one free.
Where Wedding Cake comes from
Wedding Cake came out of California in the mid 2010s and spread fast on the strength of its flavour and frost. The most reliable account traces it to a selection from a Triangle Kush and Animal Mints cross, sometimes called Triangle Mints #23. Many seed pages still give its parents as Cherry Pie and Girl Scout Cookies, a pairing that some researchers think belongs to the similar sounding Birthday Cake and was attached to Wedding Cake in early online databases. Either way, it sits firmly in the Cookies extended family.
The alternate name, Pink Cookies, is widely used, including by some Canadian retailers, and both names refer to the same plant. In 2019 a major online strain database named it strain of the year, which cemented its place on dispensary shelves and in home gardens.
Wedding Cake and Birthday Cake are often mixed up, so it helps to know the difference. Birthday Cake, sometimes called Birthday Cake Kush, is usually described as Girl Scout Cookies crossed with Cherry Pie, and it tastes sweeter and more like plain vanilla sponge. Wedding Cake has more tang and pepper, a denser bud and a heavier finish. If a jar smells sharply sour under the vanilla, it is almost certainly Wedding Cake.
Wedding Cake strain effects and experience
Wedding Cake starts with a short, cheerful head lift: a bit of euphoria, a brighter mood and an easy laugh. Within half an hour the body takes over with a warm, heavy relaxation that settles behind the eyes and in the shoulders. It is a calm, contented strain, well suited to the end of the day, a meal or a film.
At 20% to 25% THC it is strong without being punishing. Most people find a small amount enough for a relaxed evening, while larger amounts lead toward sleep.
Wedding Cake flavour, aroma and appearance
The aroma is sweet and tangy: vanilla frosting and cookie dough first, with a sharp, almost sour edge, then an earthy, peppery base and a faint gas note when ground. The smoke is creamy and smooth, like vanilla cake on the inhale, with spice and earth on the exhale. Caryophyllene leads the terpenes, followed by limonene and myrcene, which accounts for the pepper, the tang and the soft finish.
Buds are dense and chunky, light to mid green with purple flecks, bright orange pistils and a heavy white coat of trichomes that gives them the frosted, iced-cake look the name suggests.
Growing Wedding Cake in Canada
Indoors
Wedding Cake is a manageable indoor plant. Veg for four weeks, flip at 40 to 50 cm and expect it to finish between 80 and 120 cm. It prefers 22 to 26 degrees and a steady, moderate feed. The buds are tight and resinous, so from week five of flower hold humidity at 45% or lower and keep air moving through the canopy. Most phenotypes finish in 60 to 65 days; some stretch to 70.
Outdoors, by region
With an 8 to 10 week bloom and a preference for a dry finish, Wedding Cake suits the BC coast, the Okanagan and southern Ontario outdoors, with a harvest in early to mid October. A rain cover for the final two weeks is worth the effort on the coast. On the Prairies, in northern Ontario and in Atlantic Canada, where frost or wet weather arrives earlier, a greenhouse or an indoor tent is the safer plan; our outdoor cultivation guide explains how to stretch a short season.
Height and training
Top once and spread the branches with low stress training to create an even canopy of eight to ten colas. Wedding Cake stretches modestly, so a single net is usually enough. Remove lower growth at the flip to keep airflow around the dense buds and focus energy on the tops.
Flowering and harvest cues
Watch the trichomes rather than the pistils. Harvest when most heads are cloudy with a few amber for a balanced effect, or wait for 15% amber for a heavier evening. Dry for 10 to 14 days at 60% humidity and cure for at least two weeks; the vanilla sweetness comes forward in the jar.
Wedding Cake yield indoors and outdoors
Indoors, a trained plant produces 450 to 600 g/m². Outdoors, a full-season plant in a warm, dry spot gives 500 to 800 g dried. The buds are dense and lose little weight in drying, so what you see at harvest is close to what ends up in the jar.
Who Wedding Cake is for, and who should pick something else
Grow Wedding Cake if you want a dessert indica with a proven track record, a manageable indoor plant and a relaxed evening effect. It is a good choice for growers ready to move past their first harvest.
Pick something else if you need a short-season outdoor plant for the Prairies, a daytime strain, or a very easy first grow.
How Wedding Cake compares
Animal Mints, one of its likely parents, brings more mint and a sharper edge. Cherry Pie, the other commonly listed parent, is fruitier and lighter. Wedding Crashers, its cross with Purple Punch, adds grape and a slightly brighter effect. Gelato Cake is a compact dessert indica in the same style. Among our indica feminized seeds, Wedding Cake is the reliable dessert classic. Cross it with Sunset Sherbet and you get Sherb Cake, which adds berry sherbet and citrus to the vanilla.
Frequently asked questions about Wedding Cake
Is Wedding Cake an indica or sativa?

What two strains make Wedding Cake?

Is Wedding Cake the same as Pink Cookies?
Yes. Pink Cookies is another name for Wedding Cake, and some Canadian retailers sell it under that label. It is not the same as Birthday Cake, which is a separate strain with a similar name and a slightly different flavour.
How strong is Wedding Cake strain?
