Quick answer
Wedding Cake is a cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, bred by Seed Junky Genetics in California. The keeper selection from that cross circulated as Triangle Mints #23 before the name Wedding Cake stuck, and Cookies later sold the same cut as Pink Cookies. It is an indica-dominant hybrid that usually tests between 20 and 25 percent THC.

Parent strains
Triangle Kush
Triangle Kush is an heirloom OG cut that came out of Florida and is widely treated as an OG Kush relative rather than a deliberate cross. It passes on the sharp citrus and fuel notes, the stretch in early flower, and a heavy, calming effect. Growers who know the cut describe thin leaves, long internodes, and buds that finish dense but not bulky.
Animal Mints
Animal Mints is Animal Cookies crossed with Sin Mint Cookies, also from Seed Junky Genetics. That parent contributes the sweet dough and mint backbone, plus the purple and frost expression that shows up in a portion of Wedding Cake offspring. It also adds resin weight, which is why Wedding Cake cuts usually test high for total cannabinoids.
Lineage at a glance
- Wedding Cake = Triangle Kush x Animal Mints
- Animal Mints = Animal Cookies x Sin Mint Cookies
- Animal Cookies = Fire OG x Girl Scout Cookies
- Breeder: Seed Junky Genetics
- Alternate names: Pink Cookies, Triangle Mints #23
Wedding Cake, Pink Cookies, and Triangle Mints #23
These three names refer to the same plant. Seed Junky Genetics produced the cross and kept a specific mother. Cookies acquired that cut and released it as Pink Cookies. Some seed banks list it as Triangle Mints #23 because the cross was originally sold under the Triangle Mints label and the number marks the phenotype the breeder selected. If a dispensary lists all three, ask for the source rather than assuming they are different plants.
Wedding Cake Strain Yield Indoor Guide
Phenotype variation from seed
A pack of Wedding Cake seeds will not produce identical plants. Expect a spectrum from mint-forward, purpling, OG-leaning plants to sweeter, greener, dough-heavy plants. High-THC keepers usually appear in the top third of a pack. If you want the exact commercial cut, buy a verified clone instead of hunting through seed.
- Germinate 6 to 12 seeds and label each plant.
- Take a clone from every seedling before you flip to flower.
- Flower the seed plants and record height, finish time, and aroma.
- Send a sample of each keeper for terpene and cannabinoid testing.
- Keep the clone that matches the profile you want and discard the rest.
- Run the chosen clone once more to confirm it repeats.
Grow notes
Indoor flowering runs 8 to 9 weeks. Plants stretch during the first three weeks, so plan for a final height roughly double the flip height. Buds are dense and resin-heavy, which means they need support late in flower and benefit from steady airflow. Yields land in the moderate range for most growers, with quality outweighing weight. Outdoors, the cut finishes in late September to early October in most US climates.
Terpenes and aroma
Beta-caryophyllene leads in most tested samples, followed by limonene, humulene, and myrcene. Some phenotypes carry linalool, which pushes the profile toward vanilla and sweet cream. The smoke reads as earthy vanilla cake with a peppery, tangy finish. Pinene shows up in OG-leaning phenotypes and adds a sharp top note.
How to verify genetics before you buy
- Ask for the breeder name, not just the strain name.
- Request a batch COA with terpene and cannabinoid percentages.
- Check the harvest date, since terpenes fade after a few months in storage.
- Confirm whether the product is clone-only or grown from seed.
- Cross-check the label against the licensed cultivator listed on the package.
Wedding Cake genetics stay consistent only when the plant is cloned. Seed-grown flower can be excellent, but it is a different plant every time, and the label alone will not tell you which parent it leans toward.
