Effect

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.

Fans of this cannabis also recommend the Cherry Pie weed, although it has a lower THC level, smokers say these two strains have similar sweet taste.

Taste and Smell

Speaking of smell and aroma, users can highlight vanilla smells. The aroma is a little bit mellower, which can be characterized by a scent of nuttiness and skunky pungency, which comes with a vanilla overtone. The smell is somewhat striking, whereas with adequately cured buds some smokers can also note vegetal and citrus aromas.

It is the abundant terpene profile of this strain, which includes Caryophyllene, Limonene, Carene, Myrcene and Terpineol, that provides such a unique taste combination.

Upon combusting, a taste of Wedding Cake strain can be a bit harsh, especially for inexperienced smokers. Regardless of this initial harshness, vanilla and sweet taste on exhale is the quintessential properties of this bud. Reviewers also note a subtle creamy aftertaste that makes it hard to compare with anything else on the market. This skunk hybrid has a recognizable cake-like flavor, which is one of its primary characteristics.

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.

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.
