When I heard there was a cannabis strain actually called Ice Cream Cake I had to try it. This strain has every kind of hype around it imaginable from its parents—Wedding Cake and Gelato #33. All of these cake strains have been so popular lately for their unique terpene profiles that stray away from the traditional sweet, piney, and berry flavors. They, in turn, have more doughy, gassy, and floral aromas that can potentially offer extremely relaxing and pleasant body highs. Tranquil Forest is a tier-2 producer/processor out of Spokane, WA that has done this cultivar veritable justice.
When I first opened the jar of Tranquil Forest’s Ice Cream Cake I was expecting a lot more of a gassy, almost orange vanilla cream smell. I thought this because its dominant terpenes are limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene, per Leafly. What I was more-so met with was the faint floral scent that led me to believe this nug had come from a slightly older harvest. I had to crack it open to find out what other smells it was hiding.
Holding the crystally purple and green nugs in my hand they felt extremely dense, with even denser trichomes covering it like ice crystals. Dark orange pistils jut out in contrast. Cracking open one of the nugs I quickly was met with the smell I was looking for. A pungent earthy, yet sweet aroma hit my nostrils that had notes of skunky citrus.

On a somber Sunday afternoon, I twisted up a blunt of this heavy indica strain. The smoke was smooth at first, but it wasn’t wildly impressing me with its flavor. By the time I got over halfway done facing this blunt to myself, some of the more complex flavors became known. This is where the strain really gets its name. I could taste a citrusy, almost vanilla cream cake that quickly brought on a euphoric high. What came next was a palpable couch-lock that laser-focused me into the episode of anime I was watching. After the episode I had to put in some effort to not go take a nap and keep powering through the rest of the day.
