Cake and Ice Cream
Also known as: Wedding Cake x Ice Cream Cake, Cake & Ice Cream
Cake and Ice Cream Strain Overview
Cake and Ice Cream is a modern cannabis hybrid strain created by crossing two popular dessert-themed varieties: Wedding Cake and Ice Cream Cake. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the desirable traits of both parent strains, resulting in a cultivar that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets. The strain represents the continuation of the 'cake' lineage trend that has dominated cannabis breeding in recent years, with breeders focusing on developing varieties with complex flavor profiles and potent effects.
The strain typically produces dense, frosty buds with a distinctive appearance featuring deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a sugary, crystalline appearance that resembles frosting. Cake and Ice Cream inherits the gassy, sweet aroma from its Wedding Cake parent while incorporating creamy, vanilla notes from Ice Cream Cake, creating a complex sensory profile that many users find appealing.
Cake and Ice Cream has become particularly noted for its balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with cerebral stimulation. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in various cannabis publications for its unique terpene profile and consistent performance. While not as widely distributed as some of its parent strains, Cake and Ice Cream has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and complex flavor profile.

Cake and Ice Cream Strain Growing Information
Cake and Ice Cream is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity levels to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches during flowering. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
