Birthday Cake Strain: A Frosty, Shimmery Delight
CLASSIC
Birthday Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain recognized for its dense trichomes, vivid pistils, and deep green buds. The cultivar’s visual appeal, with frosty coverage and colorful tones, has helped make it one of the more recognizable names on dispensary menus. While the name evokes celebration, the strain itself is grounded in a balanced lineage and widespread consumer familiarity.
GENETICS: GSC x CHERRY PIE
Birthday Cake is bred from Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Cherry Pie. GSC is well-regarded for its structure and role in modern hybrid development, while Cherry Pie offers visual and aromatic depth rooted in Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison ancestry. Together, these parent strains contribute to Birthday Cake’s hybrid nature.
Birthday Cake has also played a role in the development of strains like Animal Cake and Motor Cake, which continue the lineage’s popularity.

VISUAL TRAITS AND STRUCTURE
