Wedding Cake
Breaking open the sample (twice - the first time didn't result in any smell) I finally get a little of the scent- it's a sweet, earthy cookies scent that leans more towards the Girl Scout Cookies than the Cherry Pie.

Background
I first sampled Wedding Cake at Remedy Cannabis Club in Barcelona during that year's Spannabis trip. My initial thoughts were positive; I enjoyed the gram and found it potent.
This strain is a cross of the famous Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie, making it a hybrid, perhaps leaning on the Sativa-dominant side, although in reality delivering effects on both ends of the spectrum.
The sample I was smoking today comes from an unspecified part of the US. Speaking to my source, I would doubt this batch came from California. I also don't know if it originally came in a tin or vac-packed.
Appearance
The sample of Wedding Cake I was reviewing is incredibly dense, like a little green boulder. The whole bud is uniform in its overdevelopment, looking like it has had some PGR influence.
The trim job is great, no leaves to be found anywhere on this bud. The pistils are small, light-golden and woven into the bud, not easily seen or protruding wildly.
The colouration is a light green with flecks of darker green and gold, with lots of frosted trichomes covering the whole Wedding Cake sample.
Aroma
I am not impressed with the smell of this cannabis strain, at all. I think it's this particular sample, which fails to give off much of a detectable scent at all - I could have this in my pocket on public transport and it wouldn't even smell.
Breaking open the sample (twice - the first time didn't result in any smell) I finally get a little of the scent- it's a sweet, earthy cookies scent that leans more towards the Girl Scout Cookies than the Cherry Pie.
Grinding up this sample I get more of the same - a little sweet, delicate scent, but nothing comes out in full force.
How disappointing for US-imported bud!
Taste
I decided to go for two methods of consumption today - first up it's my trusted Chongz Widow Maker, still my favourite bong for size, shape and hit. I was also going to roll up some of this Wedding Cake into a joint.
The bong goes down well - good flavour, and not much intensity. I would say this is a good method of consumption for this strain. Definitely more flavour than I was expecting based on the smell, plus marks from me.
Smoking this in a joint, I get more of a slight peppery taste that didn't come through my bong.
Both methods deliver a sweet, enjoyable flavour that suggests this sample of Wedding Cake is well-cured.
Effects
The Wedding Cake effects are strong, and kick in from about 4-5 minutes after consumption - Sent me on a bit of a ride all the way up to 7/8 out of 10 after the bong hit, but it doesn't come with any sort of anxiety-inducing intensity.
The joint is less inebriating, but still enjoyable and I find themselves wanting to go back for more and more! The flavour comes through a joint well.
Conclusion
The taste and effects brought this strain back for me a bit, although I stand by my concerns about PGRs in this sample. The appearance is a little too uniform, and it doesn't smell like it should.
Overall, I enjoyed the review, loved the high (and the flavour) and would like to try another batch of Wedding Cake to compare differences.

Reported Effects of Wedding Cake
Users most commonly report feeling relaxed, aroused and hungry after consuming Wedding Cake. These subjective effects are drawn from user-reported data and individual experiences vary considerably. The effects profile is influenced by the strain's dominant terpenes — Caryophyllene (aroma and mood), Limonene (comfort and ease), and Myrcene (freshness and energy) — as well as individual tolerance, consumption method and dosage.
Wedding Cake delivers a potent high that builds gradually, starting with a euphoric cerebral lift before settling into full-body relaxation. It is frequently described as a balanced experience that manages to be both uplifting and physically calming, without the racing thoughts or anxiety that can accompany other high-THC cultivars.
Terpene Profile
The dominant terpenes recorded for Wedding Cake are Caryophyllene (a spicy, peppery character associated with comfort and ease), Limonene (a bright citrus note often linked to elevated mood) and Myrcene (an earthy, musky profile commonly associated with relaxation and the classic sedative sensation). Terpene profiles can vary between phenotypes, growing conditions and curing methods.

Flowering Time and Cultivation
Wedding Cake has a typical indoor flowering time of approximately 8 to 10 weeks. Outdoor growers in the Northern Hemisphere can expect harvest around early-to-mid October. The cultivar is known for moderate height, dense resinous buds, and generous yields.
