The 12 best wedding cake varieties of all time
Americans love cake—we love baking it, eating it, and smoking it—and Seed Junky's cannabis candy Wedding Cake is no exception. A combination of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints has spread beyond state and national borders and found new names like Pink Cookies and Triangle Mints #23. Whatever you call it, Leafly users have loved Wedding Cake for eight years for its relaxing, calming, and even sexually arousing effects.
The rapid spread of this strain across phenotypes and into the genetic families of dozens of other strains still makes some cannabis elites roll their eyes. But when the cake comes to the table, everyone wants a piece. We named Wedding Cake our Strain of the Year in 2019 for its prismatic, colorful flowers and its mix of vanilla, fuel, and doughy flavors. It remains one of Leafly's most visited strain pages of the past four years, holding the top spot from 2021 to 2023 and is currently the second most visited of 2024.
It's not just the masses who enjoy a Wedding Cake cartridge or preroll; it took first place for solvent-infused prerolls at the 2024 Emerald Cup. Its pedigree clearly shows how this pastry has risen to become some truly potent heroes that continue to shape strain trends on the market today. So we thought we'd take a look at 12 of the most popular and distinctive Cake hybrids currently available.
#12 Beach Wedding
Two big names in one explosive package. That's the best way to describe what happened when Oni Seeds crossed Wedding Cake with their deeply cerebral Tropicanna Cookies. Dense buds smell like sweet glazed cereal and a glass of orange juice and gasoline. Beach Wedding is known to produce large amounts of resin and produces a strong body high but a stoney, creative headspace.
#11 Dosi Cake
“Potent” is the word most often used when describing Dosi-Cake. Bred by Archive Seed Bank, the tag team of Dosidos and Wedding Cake get the maximum stonedness out of each other. Archive says this combination leans more towards Wedding Cake, and the sweet vanilla flavor brings a fresh earthiness reminiscent of pine needles. This powerhouse has left many Leafly reviewers too stoned to make it to the store to buy snacks, so be prepared.
#10 E85
Well-known on the shelves of California's weed-infused Bay Area, this creation from Grandiflora Genetics combines Wedding Cake with their popular Project 4516. E85 has plenty of that sweet gas on the nose and has a great reputation among daily smokers who say they can smoke it daily and still get the same heady feeling.

Another Cake cross that promises an uplifting and mentally creative experience is Wedding Crasher(s). This strain is a creation of Symbiotic Genetics, who also bred Mimosa and Amarelo. It combines the vanilla notes of Wedding Cake with the berry flavors of Purple Punch. It's almost like someone cut you a slice with fresh fruit on top. Wedding Crasher(s) is also known for its pain-relieving properties. There are countless reports of people who were able to shake off all their problems when smoking Wedding Crasher.

#8 Your waffle
Cannarado's Nila Wafer, also known as Wedding Driver and Vanilla Waferz, combines two strains known for keeping novice smokers glued to the couch. Most smokers agree that this strain has a blissful, uplifting effect that brings out the carefree side of your experience. As with many Wedding Cake crosses, there is a dominant vanilla flavor that gives this strain its name.
#7 Cake Crasher
When it comes to cake hits, Seed Junky is DJ Khaled – another one! With his Wedding Cake and Symbiotic Genetics' Wedding Crasher, the game has unlocked a flavor-packed bonus level in Cake Crasher. Creating from the couch is the best description for the high you get from doing it. Perfect for a day of video editing, making music, or just playing video games. Cake Crasher is also responsible for helping SHUGA Seeds make their Purple Gelato.

#6 Grape Cream Cake
Grape Cream Cake, runner-up for Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year, is a big hit from Bloom Seed Company. This winning recipe includes Cannarado's Grape Pie, Symbiotic Genetics' Wedding Crasher, and Seed Junky's Ice Cream Cake. Breeder Harry Palms also isolated a GCC phenotype he named Dulce De Uva, which helped create the popular Black Maple strain. Grape Cream Cake has flavors of vanilla, berries, and toasted nuts, and Leafly's reviews indicate an overall relaxed and sleepy euphoria.
#5 Purple Push Pop
Purple Push Pop is part of the big Seed Junky Jealousy explosion, bringing together Ice Cream Cake, Sunset Sherbet and Jealousy. Like Medellin, this is a Cake cross with a citrus flavor paired with vanilla overtones and the strong floral notes that any Jealousy cross brings. This strain has that strong head rush that drowns out the noise and lets you sit back and enjoy what's in front of you.
#4 Ice cream cake

The army of Seed Junky Cake hybrids marches on. Ice Cream Cake is on the more sedative side of the Cake spectrum and has been shown to help people sleep or simply help them mentally unwind. With a flavor often described as creamy vanilla, you'll find page after page of Leafly users crediting this strain with its pain-relieving effects. Just like Wedding Cake, Ice Cream Cake has helped launch a thousand ships, including some on this list.
#3 LA Kush Cake

One of the most famous members of the Cake family, and one of its hottest, is LA Kush Cake. Voted one of the 8 best strains for excitement in 2023 by Leafly and the best personal flower at the 2019 Emerald Cup, LA Kush Cake seems to make people feel both relaxed and excited. Its flavors run the gamut too, with an earthy note that blends well with notes of peppermint and vanilla. Aside from the obvious, this strain also helped Leafly users with feelings of anxiety and depression.
#2 Papaya Cake
Another hit from the duo Seed Junky and Oni Seed Company. Papaya Cake is as straightforward as it sounds – vanilla blends seamlessly with the unique fruitiness of the papaya strain, a combination as potent as chocolate and peanut butter. This is a strain that had Leafly users snacking like crazy. If you're looking to relax, this strain has all the necessary qualities and a strong flavor, whether you find it in flower, vape, or concentrate form.
#1 Wedding cake

The best Wedding Cake is still Wedding Cake from Seed Junky Genetics. The strain's mega popularity means it has detractors, but Cake only points to the best of the bunch. You'll find it in most dispensaries across the country. You'll find it in flower carts, pre-rolled joints and dabs, and edibles. It's a mass-market plant. It's top-tier flower. The brand alone is worth countless tens or hundreds of millions. This hybrid indica dessert strain with 24% THC gets people relaxed, excited, and hungry. The reviews speak for themselves.
“You do the housework even when you don't want to. You stay married because the house is clean and the sex is fantastic. You are very easy-going and can talk to your partner about silly and serious topics in a civilized way. Sounds like the kind that should be used in ceremonies!”
And that's how you become the best and stay the best.
