Cake Face
Cake Face
Overview
Cake Face is a contemporary hybrid cannabis strain with disputed but well-documented genetics. Cake Face is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between Animal Face and Face Off Bx2, though some sources indicate it's created from crossing Wedding Cake with Face Off OG. The strain was originally created by 517 Legend Seed Co, a micro breeder from Michigan's 517 area who specializes in preserving landrace, heirloom, legendary, and old-school strains. The strain features dense, minty green buds adorned with striking purple undertones and an impressive resinous coating that glistens under light, with thin orange hairs and a generous coating of tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Cake Face has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community for its exceptional bag appeal, potent effects, and distinctive dessert-like aroma profile. In dispensary menus and grower forums, Cake Face shows up as a top-shelf option because it pairs striking bag appeal with a robust, long-lasting effect profile.

Growing Information
Cake Face can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks), making it suitable for various growing environments with a manageable height of 0-4 feet. Growers value Cake Face for its high yields and strong, mold-resistant structure, producing large buds that are naturally resistant to mold issues. As the plant matures, its leaves exhibit a striking red color during the fading phase, particularly when proper timing allows the strain's true colors to emerge. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow and thrives in temperate climates. Harvest typically occurs in October for outdoor growers, benefiting from ideal seasonal conditions.
