Birthday Cake Strain Is A Sugary Treat With A Joyful High

Birthday Cake is an indica-based hybrid strain known for its legendary genetics and dessert-like aroma. Made up of a cross between the infamous Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie, the strain has a distinctly sugary flavor palette. While Birthday Cake is heavy on the indica side, the strain carries the “zing” of as sativa with a bright burst of energy. 

Birthday Cake Genetics 

The source of the Birthday Cake strain’s sweet flavor profile is without question from its parents. Firstly, Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie are strains both known for their pastry-like aroma. GSC is famous for carrying a pungent, dessert aroma that holds notes of mint, sweet cherry, and lemon. These undertones are also present in the flavor of the strain 

The complex genetics of the Birthday Cake contains traces of Grandaddy Purple and F1 Durb from the Cherry Pie. In addition, GSC passes on characteristics from its OG Kush and Durban Poison parents. As a result, Birthday Cake contains a stellar lineage of powerful and delicious strains.

Appearance 

Birthday Cake gets its name from both its aroma and appearance. The strain contains bright green buds with traces of orange from its many pistols. There is a dense layering of crystal trichomes, giving the strain a distinctly frosty appearance. With a name like Birthday Cake, it’s only right that the bud would contain a thick coat of icing. 

When you crack open the strain’s nugs, its pungent, sugary aroma is released. One Leafly user described the strain’s aroma as smelling of “lemon cake with vanilla icing”. This aroma comes from the presence of the strain’s terpenes. Caryophyllene is the most dominant terpene found in the strain. It passes on medicinal benefits as well as flavor. Caryophyllene has a strong ability to interact with CB2 receptors in the brain. These receptors are responsible for the non-psychoactive benefits of THC and can help to aid in the treatment of medical issues like anxiety, depression, and inflammation. 

Effects 

Many users have found a great experience with the Birthday Cake strain, and not just because of its citrus and vanilla flavor. The strain’s effects are its most popular characteristic. One user described the effects as having fairly energetic effects for an indica. “I mostly smoke indica-dominant strains, and from time to time, I come across one that really stands out and this is one of those strains. This beautiful girl will not give me couchlock, instead a nice body high awaits, this bud can induce an active and creative mind making it great for daytime use,” stated the reviewer. While people experience strains differently, it’s safe to say that the hybrid has potentially uplifting and relaxing effects. 

Recreationally, Birthday Cake is a perfect strain for getting creative, listening to music, or watching your favorite film. Its medicinal uses are extensive. The strain may help treat a variety of medical conditions including pain, anxiety, appetite loss, inflammation, and headaches.
