Cake Batter Strain is a tasty and potent phenotype of Wedding Cake. A phenotype is the physical expression of a plant’s genetic composition. For example, Wedding Cake is a hybrid of the strains Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Cherry Pie. The seeds of the female plants of Wedding Cake are considered phenotypes since they’re an expression of its GSC and Cherry Pie genetics.
Well, things like environmental factors can cause phenotypic variations. As a result, strains with similar genetics can sometimes develop slightly different effects, flavors, and characteristics. That’s why there are a few phenotypes with Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie genetics including Cake Batter, Pink Cookies, Birthday Cake, and Cherry Cookies.

Genetics
Cake Batter Weed Strain
As a phenotype of wedding cake, Cake Batter can claim the mighty strains of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie as cannabis ancestors, so to speak. Let’s see why this is so special.
Girl Scout Cookies is a descendant of two classic, old-school strains that have influenced the development of many hybrid strains we enjoy today. When we say old school, we mean it. We’re talking about – OG Kush and Durban Poison.
OG Kush is believed to be a hybrid of Lemon Thai, Chemdawg, and a Pakistani Hindu Kush. OG Kush’s story goes back to the early 1990s, but Durban Poison’s history goes back much further.
Durban Poison is a landrace strain native to the area near the port city of Durban, in South Africa. The way its genetics adapted to the unique climate and terrain in South Africa gave Durban Poison its unique flavor profile and effects.
Durban Poison’s unique sativa genetics have served a role in the development of many of today’s popular hybrids. In addition to Girl Scout Cookies, its genetics have helped create famous offspring that include Cherry Pie, Durban Nights, Poison Kush, and many others.

Cherry Pie Strain
Cherry Pie is a hybrid strain of Grandaddy Purple and F1 Durb. Grandaddy Purple (GDP) is an indica strain that’s a cross of Afghani, Skunk, and Mendo Purps.
Afghani is another landrace strain with origins in the Hindu Kush mountain range that runs through Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to High Times magazine, it ranks “among Cannabis royalty.” Famous offspring of Afghani include Cannabis Cup winners Blueberry and Northern Lights.
Skunk #1 is believed to be a hybrid of the legendary landrace strains: Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Columbian Gold. Skunk #1 is one of the most influential strains of cannabis since its genetics have been used to make many of the hybrids we enjoy today.
F1 Durb is another strain that includes the genetics of Durban Poison and a mysterious strain known as F1.

Cake Batter Strain Terpenes
So, what is it about Cake Batter that gives it that potent and tasty reputation? Well, a lot of it comes down to its terpene and cannabinoid profile.
In the past, it was thought that THC percentage was what determined potency. Through the years we’ve discovered that it’s actually the mix of the active compounds in cannabis, like terpenes and cannabinoids, which can enhance its potency, effects, and experience.
So, what are terpenes?
Terpenes are compounds naturally produced in plants like rosemary, lavender, curcumin, sage, thyme, and cannabis. In nature, terpenes protect plants from animal grazing and infectious germs. They also help attract pollinators.
Terpenes are bioactive and depending on how they’re consumed, could enhance your cannabis experience. For example, when combined with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, it’s believed terpenes can help to unlock what is known as the “entourage effect.”
The entourage effect is a special synergy that can occur in the presence of the multiple active compounds in the cannabis plant. In other words, by striking the right balance of cannabinoids and terpenes for your endocannabinoid system, it could result in a cannabis experience with enhanced therapeutic potential.

Now that we understand the role terpenes can play in the overall cannabis experience, let’s take a look at some of the terpenes in Cake Batter.
Beta-Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene, also known as beta-caryophyllene, is another terpene that’s abundant in nature – occurring in things like black pepper, hops, spinach, rosemary, cloves, oregano, cinnamon, and black pepper.
Beta-Caryophyllene Terpene
It’s believed b-caryophyllene is the only terpene to interact with our endocannabinoid system through CB2 receptors found in our immune system. Because of this, it can help reduce pain and inflammation – without promoting a high sensation.1
Caryophyllene Terpene Effects
Its ability to bind with CB2 receptors helps give b-caryophyllene its strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Research also indicates that b-caryophyllene could be helpful in treating certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.2
Other possible benefits of caryophyllene include the potential to help:
- Relieve anxiety, pain, and cholesterol
- Prevent osteoporosis
- Treat seizures
Finally, did you know that if you find yourself feeling a bit too high, munching on a couple of black pepper balls could help? That’s because the terpenes in black pepper (pinene, myrcene, and beta-caryophyllene) could help reduce feelings of anxiety and help calm you down.

Foods That Can Impact Your High
Beta-Myrcene
B-myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found in cannabis and other plants. It’s responsible for the earthy, musky, and herbal aroma often associated with cannabis. With a scent similar to cloves, Myrcene tends to have earthy notes with a hint of fruitiness.
B-Myrcene Terpene
Strains of cannabis known for their relaxing and sedative effects tend to have higher levels of the myrcene terpene. Myrcene also tends to be present in many Indica strains of cannabis.
Beta-Myrcene Effects
In addition to its relaxing effects, and pain-relieving potential, myrcene is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Some cannabis users report that strains high in myrcene can help them feel calm and can help ease anxiety.
Myrcene is believed to enhance the bioavailability of other cannabinoids, like THC and CBD. By facilitating their passage through the blood-brain barrier, Myrcene could contribute to the entourage effect.

What Is the Entourage Effect?
Besides cannabis, Myrcene can be found in hops, lemongrass, mangoes, and thyme. It’s important to note that the effects of myrcene can vary depending on the specific strain and individual differences in how our bodies respond to terpenes, cannabinoids, and the other active compounds in cannabis.
