History & Genetics

Birthday Cake, as you might imagine, combines dessert flavors into explosively effective relaxation that makes you hungry for more. People who share their Birthday Cake report even more pronounced effects of giddiness, euphoria, and relaxation in social settings. This strain was tailor-made for people who have trouble sleeping due to pain issues or wake up in the middle of the night because of a flare-up.

The famously delicious Wedding Cake strain got its own named phenotype when it was crossed with Cherry Pie by Growers Lab.

Appearance, Aroma, & Flavor

It grows huge, dense buds shaped light foresty hearts, with flaming decorations of orange hairs and a glittering frost of icing-like crystal trichomes. Users are drawn to Birthday Cake’s intoxicating aroma and insane taste. The flavor starts fruity and breaks immediately into a skunky vanilla taste that hints of nuts and cookies on the exhale. The strain has a sweet, pungent aroma, a little vanilla, a little skunk. The total effect is like cake batter to complement your brain being dipped in THC frosting.

Effects

If you find yourself feeling tired or fatigued during the busy workweek, a dose of Birthday Cake can calm things down, replacing mentally painful thoughts with giddy ones. Birthday Cake instills a sense of relaxing, sedating calm. Those who have trouble sleeping due to pain conditions love Birthday Cake because it mellows out your brain during sleep. It has a specific physical effect too however, which lowers inflammation levels and can even relieve muscle spasms and migraines.

All of these things impact pain and stress levels. Skunky vanilla euphoria pours out of this balanced strain and makes painful evenings far more enjoyable. The real kicker is the taste, the cookie-like nutty mix of cakey vanilla goodness, mixed with herbal, spicy fruit. The strain grows shiny, silvery-white, and sticky, not unlike a beautiful Birthday Cake. Not many people are fortunate enough to be able to grow it but those who do love their time with this cute confectionary cannabis.

Growing

We don’t have a ton of cultivation information about Birthday Cake because unfortunately, Birthday Cake seeds aren’t often commercially available. Most growers have to acquire healthy cuttings and grow clones instead. If you are lucky enough to obtain genetics whether seed or clones, they will flourish indoors and will need more tender loving care if grown outdoors. This is because Birthday Cake needs warm, humid cultivation around 70 degrees. You can’t keep it in the cold like a real cake. Additionally, the Cherry Pie strain resists mold like nobody’s business. Expect flowers in about 60 days with an average yield.
