A note on the numbers in this article: harvest dates, flowering times and yields are ranges, not promises. They vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →

Where Wedding Cake comes from

Wedding Cake, also sold as Pink Cookies, is a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. Both parents are known for sweet flavour and high resin production, and Wedding Cake inherited both traits. It became one of the best-known dessert strains and is now a parent of many newer crosses.

Flavour and aroma

Expect a sweet, doughy aroma with vanilla, sugar and a hint of spice, sitting on an earthy, peppery base. The autoflower version leans creamier and sweeter. Dried buds are dense and heavily coated in trichomes, which gives Wedding Cake its frosty look.

Effects

Because Wedding Cake leans indica, most people describe a calm, body-focused feel with a relaxed head. With THC up to 25%, it is a strong strain, so newer consumers should start with a small amount. Effects vary from person to person. For a wider look at how indica-leaning strains feel, read what indica does to you.

Growing Wedding Cake

  • Indoors (feminized): about 50–60 days of flowering after the switch to 12/12 light. Keep humidity lower in late flower, because the dense buds can hold moisture.
  • Indoors (autoflower): about 9–10 weeks from seed to harvest, with 500–600 g/m² expected under good conditions.
  • Outdoors: the feminized plant finishes around late September, so start early and choose a sunny, sheltered spot in a short-season climate like Quebec.
  • Training: topping and light defoliation help light and airflow reach the dense lower buds.

Check the cultivation rules that apply where you live before you plant.
