What Is Wedding Cake?

Wedding Cake, also known as Triangle Mints #23, crosses Triangle Kush with Animal Mints — a cross confirmed directly by its breeder, Seed Junky Genetics. It won Leafly's Strain of the Year in 2019 and remains one of the most recognized strains in the Cookie and Cake family. THC typically runs 22–26%, with some cuts reported higher. It is one of the strains we rotate through our Central County menu, and availability moves with each drop.

Genetic Lineage

Wedding Cake pairs Triangle Kush, a potent and dense earthy OG, with Animal Mints, a sweet, minty Cookie-family cut. Some sources instead cite Cherry Pie × GSC, but that lineage is now understood to describe Birthday Cake — a separate strain frequently confused with Wedding Cake because of the similar dessert branding. We go with the breeder-confirmed parentage.

The Exhale

Creamy and sweet with a peppery, earthy finish

Terpene Profile

  • Caryophyllene

    Spicy, peppery — the dominant note here

    Earthy and relaxing, driving the body effect

  • Limonene

    Citrus brightness under the sweetness

Euphoric Then Grounded

Effects & Experience

Onset

An uplifting, euphoric cerebral buzz that arrives quickly.

Plateau

Deep, full-body relaxation without heavy couch-lock for most users.

Experience

A genuinely well-balanced evening strain — relaxed enough to unwind with, clear enough to stay present. Potency runs high, so smaller doses go further than you expect.

Effects vary by individual — this is general strain information, not medical advice.

Growing & Quality

We source Wedding Cake for dense, frosty buds with lime-to-forest green coloration and the frequent purple streaks good cuts throw. Trichome coverage should be obvious before you get close.

Quality Standards

  • Dense, frosty buds with lime-to-forest green color and purple streaking
  • Vanilla-dough terpene expression intact rather than dried flat
  • Every batch lab-tested for potency and purity before it reaches your order

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, airtight container. Heat and light strip terpenes first, and that is where most of the flavor and character lives.

More on how we vet what goes on the menu is on our about page, and ordering questions are answered in our delivery FAQs.

Formats & Dosing

How to Enjoy Wedding Cake

Flower and pre-rolls give the fullest vanilla-dough expression. Vape carts are faster but less nuanced, and concentrates run significantly stronger.

  • Flower

    The fullest expression of the Wedding Cake terpene profile. Effects land within a few minutes and taper over two to three hours.

  • Pre-Rolls

    Same flower, zero prep — the easiest way to try it before committing to more.

  • Vape Carts

    Faster onset and more discreet, with less terpene nuance. Pace yourself.

  • Concentrates

    Live resin and rosin keep more terpene character, but potency runs far above flower. Experienced consumers only.

Start Low, Go Slow

Start low and go slow — potency runs high on well-grown batches. Wait a full 15 minutes before taking more with flower or vape, and two full hours with edibles. This is general information, not medical advice.
