Wedding Cake, also known as Triangle Mints #23 and, in Canada, Pink Cookies, is a hybrid that Seed Junky Genetics selected in Southern California from a cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints; an older account, still used for some seed versions, gives its parents as Cherry Pie and GSC.1,2,3 It tests at a median total THC of 23.01% across 3,090 state lab tests of Wedding Cake flower, with the middle half of results between 20.25% and 25.72%.4 CBD is negligible: none of the 2,022 tests that reported CBD reached 1%.4

Plate VIHow a Seed Junky Genetics phenotype from Southern California became Leafly’s 2019 Strain of the Year and a top seller, and why its parentage was disputed.
A hybrid that leans indica. Leafly files it as a hybrid, describes it as an indica-hybrid and rates its effects mostly calming; AllBud lists 60% indica / 40% sativa and SeedFinder roughly 60% indica. Seed versions sold under the name go as far as 80% indica (Barney’s Farm, Royal Queen Seeds), while Leafly lists the line it was selected from, Triangle Mints, as 70% sativa.1,5,6,8,9,10
It is phenotype #23 of Seed Junky Genetics’ Triangle Mints line, a cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, which spread from Southern California as a cutting; Leafly named it Strain of the Year in 2019. For years it was widely believed to be Cherry Pie × GSC, and some seed versions are still sold with that lineage.2,3,7,9,10
Sales and attention, mostly. Headset ranked it the second best-selling strain of 2019, behind Blue Dream; Leafly made it its 2019 Strain of the Year, when it was on more than 10,000 store menus; and it was Leafly’s most-visited strain page from 2021 to 2023. In 2025 it was #3 in Leafly dispensary orders nationwide. Leafly’s editors also credit the dessert-strain wave it capped and “a catchy name that evokes celebration and indulgence”.3,7,11,12,13
Higher in THC than most strains we track. Its median total THC across 3,090 state lab tests was 23.01%, above the median of 36 of the 42 other strains in our dataset with at least 100 tests, and 31.5% of its tests reached 25% or more. In every year with at least 100 tests (2019–2023) the yearly median stayed between 22.39% and 23.57%.4 Leafly also rates it higher in THC than average and lists 24%; Weedmaps lists 23–25% and AllBud 25–27%.1,2,5
Often, but the name is not used consistently. Leafly says Wedding Cake is known as Pink Cookies in Canada, and SeedFinder lists Pink Cookies as another name for Seed Junky’s cut. Leafly also keeps a separate Pink Cookies entry, “also known as Wedding Cake”, that gives the parents as GSC × Cherry Pie, and Weedmaps says the name is used inconsistently enough to add another layer of confusion.1,2,6,14
Vanilla first. Leafly users list vanilla, pepper and butter; on Weedmaps 39% of flavor reports say vanilla, 34% sweet and 26% earthy. Leafly’s 2019 write-up describes aromas from vanilla dough to sweet earth with a peppery finish, and notes that some phenotypes taste more of earth than of icing.1,2,3

Wedding Cake rose fast. Headset’s March 2020 report on 2019 sales in US and Canadian markets ranked it the second best-selling strain, behind Blue Dream, said it had recently overtaken Blue Dream in market share and found it the top seller in Washington; Leafly named it its 2019 Strain of the Year, by which time it was on more than 10,000 store menus.3,11 It was Leafly’s most-visited strain page from 2021 to 2023 and the second most-visited in 2024.12
It has stayed near the top. In California it was the #4 flower strain from January to November 2024, with $15.7 million in sales, and in the top 10 for a third straight year; in 2025 it was #3 in Leafly dispensary orders nationwide and the top strain in Washington.13,15 The Marijuana Herald’s September 2026 list, built on Headset data for August sales, again has it as Washington’s top seller.16 Its offspring sell too: the same list puts LA Kush Cake first in Alaska and Wedding Pie first in Rhode Island, and Leafly found Ice Cream Cake the top strain in Oregon in 2025.13,16 The Herald’s October 2026 roundup of 15 of the most popular strains in the US, built on Headset and Leafly data, says Wedding Cake “continues to rank among the most commercially prominent strains in the U.S.”17
