Tiger Cake
What is the Tiger Cake strain?
Tiger Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 30.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and blueberry and citrus flavor profile.
Tiger Cake is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Layer Cake and The Menthol. This strain is a creation of Compound Genetics. Tiger Cake, a rare and potent hybrid strain, emerges from the genius crossbreeding of Layer Cake and The Menthol. Crafted by the renowned Compound Genetics, this strain is celebrated for its high THC content, ranging from 24-30%. Tiger Cake entered consumer consciousness around 2020–2022 in several legal markets, often presented as a balanced-to-indica-leaning hybrid with potent frosting-like trichomes and a confectionary nose.
The strain belongs to the broader "Cake" family wave that gained popularity in the late 2010s. Its huge frosty nugs feature a unique deep green color with some bright orange hairs. These frosty buds are covered by some trichomes that give it a sticky texture thanks to the cross of Layer Cake (Wedding Cake). The orange-to-amber pistils can stripe across the calyxes like tiger markings, especially on well-fed indoor plants with tight internodes. On the palate, the frosting and dough tones ride over a darker, kushy base that claws back on exhale, echoing the duality suggested by tiger and cake in the name. Tiger Cake is noted for its exceptional resin production, making it highly sought after for extractions and concentrates.
This strain has become popular among seasoned cannabis enthusiasts due to its potent effects and complex flavor profile that combines dessert-like sweetness with diesel undertones. Although Compound has discontinued Tiger Cake, it's still available in some places if you look hard enough.
