Birthday Cake (aka Birthday Cake Kush) is a strain that has immense body effects as well as a juicy cake-like taste. Birthday Cake strain is one of those cultivars that are well-known for its calming properties, alongside leaning in the direction of calming evenings and sleepy nights. Although the information about a breeder remains unknown, we all know that this strain was born after crossing Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie strains.
I am part of the stoners that think hybrids are EVERYTHING. I mean, Birthday Cake is one hell of an exmaple. But for those that wish for a less focused and relaxed strain there are more than enough hybrids to meet your needs.

I am part of the stoners that think hybrids are EVERYTHING. I mean, Birthday Cake is one hell of an exmaple. But for those that wish for a less focused and relaxed strain there are more than enough hybrids to meet your needs.
Each night before my nightshift I hit this flower in my bong. It has been two weeks and I haven't been feeling drowsy during the shift. And when I hit the bed later in the morning its like switching off a light bulb.
Overall, i'd prefer a more chilled euphoria but I can live with this one.
my first thought when i came across Birthday Cake was how the hell could any flower earn such a name. The sweet flavor convinced me though. There is nothing better for my evenings. Even my wife says its like coming home to a cake in the oven.
Shortly after I failed a test, i was feeling pretty down and funked out but a few puffs of this at a friends home calmed me down.
Was feeling down after a painful breakup, my friend told me to try this blunt to cheer up, they were right because since i smoked this weed ive had a euphoric feeling, even i couldnt believe it possible. So if youre looking to be HAPPY too try this out
been sufferring from insomnia for sometime and a friend asked me to try this strain, though i was hesitant at first after acouple of puffs ive slept well though the night, so if you have the same problem ad suggest you give it a try
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, helped with my anxiety and depression
i admit it has a sweet vanilla taste but the dry mouth it gave was very unbearable
BEST joint ive tasted so far, its earthly flavor is something to die for
One of the best hybrids Ive tried. It burns pretty good and gives a bit of body buzz making me instantly happy and creative. I feel social and stress-free. Its a good motivational strain. The buds have a pronounced citrus and piney smell, but on the exh
Its a bomb for sure! One to keep in your arsenal
Birthday Cake helped me with insomnia. A good strain for unwinding before bed or for chill activity. The flavor is gorgeous - its berry, pungent, and a little bit earthy bouquet. The only downside is thirst and outrageous munchies.
Terrific strain! Relieved my nerve pain and helped me sleep.
This description is so poorly written it's virtually senseless.
