Ice Cream Cake

Any weed strain coming to us from Seed Junky Genetics is worthy of at least a look and taste, if not a spot on our wall of bangers. And, pretty unsurprisingly, at this point, Ice Cream Cake (also known as ICC) is just one more to add to the Seed Junky Genetics list of hits.

This strain is a cross between Gelato #33 and Wedding Cake, again two of the breeding collectives list of amazing strains. But, crossing one amazing strain with another doesn't always guarantee that any resulting offspring will be able to stand up to the hype. How many strains have you seen come and go in the past 5 years, all with amazing lineage and then just, well... fizzle out into obscurity?

Thankfully, the Ice Cream Cake weed cultivar isn't one of those strains. So, what is it exactly that makes this Indica dominant weed strain so special?

• The Awards - Look, we usually don't like to put too much emphasis onto the awards a certain strain has won, but when you take out top honours at The Emerald Cup, it just has to be mentioned! The Emerald Cup is one of the most prestigious cannabis competitions in the world, and for Ice Cream Cake to take out first place in the mixed light category (and 5th for outdoor at the same event) is a rare sight indeed.
• The Effects - the 20% to 25% THC percentage served up by Ice Cream Cake puts her in the "mid to high" potency range, which means that even the most well-versed cannaheads need to proceed with at least a modicum of caution. The high itself definitely ticks all the Indica boxes while still keeping enough of the Sativa uplifting vibes to make this a well-balanced smoke.
• The Flavour and Aroma - Creamy, buttery, thick, pungent, and most certainly covered with almost too much icing, Ice Cream Cake delivers exactly what the box states - that is, a scrumptious, delightful dessert-like flavour palette that you'll want to keep on coming back for more. The stank is equally as lush, with notes of vanilla, cookie dough, and just a smidgen of spice for good measure.
• The Genetics - The popularity of parent strains Gelato #33 and Wedding Cake alone may explain why Ice Cream Cake has become such a crowd-pleaser. But beyond that, the careful selection and breeding techniques of Seed Junky Genetics have really helped this strain stand tall in a market overflowing with Indica dominant hybrids, not an easy feat at all!
