Grape Cream Cake Strain Overview
Grape Cream Cake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Grape Pie with Wedding Cake. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the dessert strain trend that gained popularity in California's cannabis scene. Breeders sought to combine the fruity grape characteristics of Grape Pie with the creamy, cake-like qualities of Wedding Cake, resulting in a strain that has become popular in both recreational and medical cannabis markets.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size with a conical structure, displaying deep purple and forest green hues complemented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The visual appeal is further enhanced by the contrast between the dark foliage and the sparkling resin glands.
Grape Cream Cake is noted for its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition for its consistency when grown under proper conditions, though some phenotypic variation can occur depending on cultivation methods and environmental factors. Its popularity has led to its inclusion in various cannabis product lines including concentrates, edibles, and vape cartridges.

Grape Cream Cake Strain Growing Information
Grape Cream Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Grape Cream Cake responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain proper airflow to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during late flowering. The strain benefits from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration.
