What is the Birthday Cake Kush strain?
Birthday Cake Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and creamy and earthy flavor profile.
Birthday Cake Kush, also known as Birthday Cake or Wedding Cake, is an indica-dominant hybrid known for its sweet vanilla flavor and relaxing effects. This strain is created through a cross between Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Cherry Pie, two legendary parent strains that contribute to its potent genetics. It makes for an indica-dominant hybrid that contains approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa composition. It's rumored the original Birthday Cake cannabis strain originated from the Kind Love dispensary in Denver, CO in 2014, where it first went by Pink Cookies, before gaining popularity under the Birthday Cake name.
As decadent as its Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie parent strains, Birthday Cake buds bloom with a crystalline icing of THC-rich resin. These buds have a super frosty appearance, with large and dense oversized heart-shaped light forest green nugs that have sparse fiery orange hairs. The dense, round buds are a deep green and loaded with purple hues while covered in a thick coat of trichomes that make it look like it's been dipped in frosting. This strain is particularly treasured as a great 'end-of-day strain' with deeply relaxing effects that soothe the body without sedating the mind.
