Cake Strains

What Makes a Cake Strain?

The defining feature of a cake strain is its terpene profile. Cake genetics express a creamy, vanilla-frosting sweetness from the Wedding Cake family, which comes through strongest when flowers are dried slowly and cured for three to four weeks in sealed jars. Rushed drying strips the volatile terpenes that carry the aroma, so even the right genetics underperform without a proper cure. When shopping cake seeds, look at the dominant terpenes listed on each strain page, not just the name, since marketing names don't always match the real aromatic profile.
