Gelato Cake
Gelato Cake
Also known as: Wedding Cake Gelato, Gelato Wedding Cake, Wedding Gelato, Ice Cream Cake
Overview
Gelato Cake is a 75% indica-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Gelato #33 with Wedding Cake, delivering THC levels between 20-25% and a dessert-like flavor profile of vanilla, cream, and citrus. Though the exact origins of Gelato Cake may be enshrouded in mystery, some attributing it to the breeders at Seed Junky Genetics, the consensus within the cannabis community is that its rise to popularity is well-deserved. This strain represents a masterful combination of two legendary cannabis cultivars, inheriting the best traits from both parents: Gelato #33's uplifting cerebral effects and creamy sweetness, combined with Wedding Cake's potent body relaxation and vanilla frosting flavors.
Visually, Gelato Cake features dense buds and a palette of deep green and occasional royal purples, with a lavish frosting of trichomes that sparkle like a dusty sash of stars on its surface. The contrast of its orange hairs and very dark violet colors makes it visually appealing and certainly one of the prettier strains out there, with buds covered in numerous trichomes, making them glisten and seem as if they are sugar-coated. The strain's appearance serves as a visual indicator of its quality and potency, reflecting its distinguished genetic heritage.

Growing the Gelato Cake strain can be a rewarding experience for cultivators with different levels of expertise, but adequate ventilation and airflow are paramount due to the strain's dense bud structure. Ensuring that conditions such as lighting, soil pH, and nutrients are well-managed will contribute greatly to the plants' success, while managing the environment to prevent common issues like mildew and bud rot is essential.
