Candy Cake Strain Information
Overview: Candy Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica/30% sativa) bred by crossing Zkittlez Cake (Zkittlez x Wedding Cake) with Jungle Cake (White Fire #43 x Wedding Cake). Developed by breeders like Jungle Boys, Big Sky Beans, or Sprinklez, it’s celebrated for its sweet, dessert-like flavor and potent, balanced effects. Some sources mention a variant bred by Big Sky Beans using Candy Store x Wedding Cake, but the Zkittlez Cake x Jungle Cake cross is more widely recognized.
THC and Cannabinoid Content:
THC: Averages 20-33%, with some batches testing as high as 33-38% (e.g., Caked Up Candy variant). Potency makes it better suited for experienced users.
CBD: Low, typically 0.42-1%, contributing little to effects.
THC-A: Often around 24-30% in tested samples.
Terpene Profile: Key terpenes include:
Caryophyllene: Spicy, peppery; may have anti-inflammatory benefits.
Limonene: Citrusy, mood-enhancing.

Myrcene: Earthy, fruity; promotes relaxation. These create a sweet, fruity, and creamy flavor with sour berry, vanilla, and citrus notes, accented by spicy or gassy undertones.
Aroma and Flavor:

Effects: Candy Cake delivers a potent, long-lasting high that starts with a cerebral, euphoric buzz, promoting happiness, creativity, giggles, and sociability.

Medical Uses: May help with chronic stress, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, muscle spasms, cramps, ADD/ADHD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.

Appearance: Buds are long, dense, and pepper-shaped, with forest or emerald green hues, thin dark orange hairs, and a thick coating of milky amber or white trichomes. Some phenotypes show purple undertones, giving a frosty, sugar-coated look.
