In the world of legal cannabis cultivation, growers can reach heights they have never been able to reach before with resources and funding that has eclipsed the clandestine weed grower by levels beyond what they could have imagined on the black market.
A serious result of the resources available to these commercial growers is that they can grow these perfectly genetically engineered strains that will satisfy consumers on a commercial scale.
One of these perfectly engineered strains is the Cake Mix strain, we will go into why this strain is well engineered and why the stoners across the world covet this strain so highly.
Genetics
It should come as no surprise that the Cake Mix strain is a genetic splice of two very popular strains.
These strains are the highly popular Wedding Cake, a Cali classic, and the London Pound Cake.
Both these strains are known firstly for their flavor profile, but secondly, and perhaps most prominently, they are loved for how strong they are.
Both strains can reach a range of 25- 30% THC, which is certainly on the ‘veteran smoker’ end of potency scales.
So mix these two cake strains together, and you get Cake Mix, a powerful blend of two strains that are strong in both flavor and THC content.
Appearance
The ‘Cake’ label really comes true with this strain as the combination of dark green leaves, bright green buds, amber pistils, and dark purple colors, as well as the frosty white trichomes, make the strain look as if it was covered in sprinkles like your favorite cakes.
For this reason, some call the strain ‘Birthday Cake’.
Flavor
One reason why people truly love this strain is its flavor.
Many describe it as the most pleasant bud they have smoked, in terms of taste, and can really blow other strains out the water.
This is likely the genetic splicing of Wedding Cake and London Pound Cake, both are similarly coveted for how nice they taste.
Specifically, this Cake Mix strain has a flavor that is actually quite different to cake. The general tasting notes are rich and tangy.
On the inhale there are sharp diesel and skunk flavors you may expect of Sour Diesel or Purple Haze, but the exhalation brings a nutty sweetness that is a little spicy too.
Also, worth noting, is that the smoke can be as thick as frosting.
If we were to put it simply, the flavor of this bud is really unique and unlike much else, which is a big reason it is so popular, it is unique!
General Effects
Undoubtedly, as might be clear already, the Cake Mix strain is quite popular mainly for how strong it is.
Reaching heights of 30% THC when grown in correct conditions, this stuff is powerful, but its careful balance of cannabinoids is perhaps its key to success.
The strain is 85% indica and 15% sativa, while this sounds quite indica heavy, which it is to a degree, the genetics hit that perfect spot where they get the best things from the indica and the best features of the sativa.
Namely, most smokers of this bud who have reviewed the strain say that it doesn’t necessarily make you super tired and zonked out as most indicas do, rather it actually inspires and leans more to the creative side of the indica flower.
With this in mind, just the right amount of sativa helps provide that kick up the ass that prevents this from becoming a sleeper strain.
With this in mind, many compare the strain to Jack Herrer similarly identifying it as a great wake and bake strain.
Many find that the combination of creative energy and a sativa focus can provide a strain that is perfect for you to smash through a to-do list while you think of your next big idea, all with a smile on your face and little concern for the rest of the world – a truly blissful state.
Medicinal Benefits
With a strain that has a THC of this magnitude, there will definitely be some medicinal users of cannabis who are eyeing up this unique strain for its medicinal benefits.
Considering how high the THC is, this actually has a good amount of CBD in comparison to other strains at 2%.
This means that those who use marijuana for chronic pain relief may enjoy this strain more than others, as it is strong enough to flood the pain out with euphoria and stoned bliss.
Moreover, the strain could also be beneficial to mental health sufferers, as many report that the euphoria the strain brings is life changing and gets rid of those blues with ease.
Less debilitating medical issues may also be helped such as appetite loss, headaches, nausea, and stress.
Always consult a medical professional before choosing to medicate yourself with cannabis.
Sourcing The Strain
The strain is made exclusively by a company known as Cookies who create many fan favorites and unique strains you will commonly see in head shops such as Cereal Milk, Gelatti, as well as the ancestor of this strain, London Pound Cake.
This is specifically made by Cookies’ sister company Lemonade.
Our Conclusion
There are endless reasons why the Cake Mix is so popular.
If we were to put it down to one thing, it is the fact that Cake Mix lives in a narrow corridor of golden ratios, where its creators have somehow managed to make a weed strain that is opulently potent but still manages to energize and inspire those who smoke it.
It is both very strong but also really functional – a stoner’s dream.
Beyond this, the THC content is enough to draw the stoners from their caves, but the unique flavor profile, aesthetically pleasing buds, and alluring genetics are a big part of why people are interested in the new strain.
Medicinal users of cannabis are drawn to the effects of the strain and how it can help with a long list of ailments.
If cannabis is your preferred medicine, then this is a strain that might be worth trying.
