next-generation cross in Hype's library: Gelato Cake

California Vibe stores carrying Hype's Ice Cream Cake vape on November 5, 2026
The Ice Cream Cake strain is a potent indica that crosses Wedding Cake with Gelato 33. It is usually credited to Seed Junky Genetics, the breeder behind Wedding Cake. Hype Cannabis Co., which sells its own Ice Cream Cake, describes a sweet, doughy terpene profile and vibrant purple and green flowers.
Here is how the family fits together, what the producer’s description covers, and where to find it at Vibe.
Last reviewed: November 2026.
Ice Cream Cake strain lineage
Both parents have long stories of their own. Cannabis Now describes Wedding Cake as a clone-only selection of Triangle Mints, which Seed Junky Genetics bred from a Triangle Kush mother and an Animal Mints father. Gelato 33, nicknamed Larry Bird, is one of the best-known keepers from the Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Cookies seedlings that started the Gelato family. Our guides to Wedding Cake and the Gelato family tell those stories in full.

Several strains go by the name Ice Cream Cake, but the one Hype describes is the Wedding Cake x Gelato #33 cross. Hype Cannabis Co. says it chose its genetics from Gelato 33 and Wedding Cake to get as much of that sweet, doughy terpene profile as possible.

What Ice Cream Cake smells and tastes like
Hype Cannabis Co. talks about a sweet, doughy terpene profile. That is a producer describing its own batch, so smell the jar you are buying before you settle on it. If the producer had terpenes tested, the batch’s certificate of analysis lists each one by name with an amount, which is the closest thing to a measured nose.
Don’t over-read the terpene line on a label. A 2025 PLOS ONE aroma study found terpene profiles alone did a poor job of predicting how cannabis actually smells, so your nose is still the best test.
The look is a big part of the appeal. Hype describes vibrant purple and green flowers strewn with “a snow cone of trichomes.” Both parents come from Cookies-era lines known for dense, purple-tinged buds, so the color is no surprise.
Ice Cream Cake vs its parents and other Cake crosses
The table sums up Hype’s description of its own Ice Cream Cake: the parents, the indica classification, the sweet, doughy nose, the purple color and the cross it led to.
Plenty of other strains carry Cake or Ice Cream in their names. Hype Cannabis Co. lists Gelato Cake, a cross of Ice Cream Cake and Gelato, with creamy flavors of sweet berry, nuts and vanilla. It describes Gelato Cake’s buds as forest green nugs covered in icy trichomes and dense orange hairs, so the family resemblance shows up in the jar as well as on paper. Snow Cake and other look-alike names have no published link to Ice Cream Cake that we could find, so read the producer and lineage on those jars on their own.

Is Ice Cream Cake indica or sativa?
Indica, in Hype Cannabis Co.‘s description, and most menus file it with the indicas. Either way, the category is a rough guide. A 2022 PLOS ONE study of commercial flower found that indica, sativa and hybrid labels did not consistently match the chemistry of the samples, so the cannabinoid and terpene figures on the label say more about a batch. Two jars with the same strain name can test quite differently, so compare the labels side by side before you choose, and treat the indica tag as a starting point rather than a promise.
Ice Cream Cake strain effects: what people report
Hype describes its Ice Cream Cake as sweet and sedative, an extremely stony indica for anyone who wants to unwind. That is a producer describing its own product. Effects vary from person to person and batch to batch, so check the label, start low and wait before having more. The CDC notes that cannabis can affect attention, coordination and decision-making, so never drive after use. For medical questions, talk to a doctor.

Format
An Ice Cream Cake vape, tincture or pre-roll has its own label. Read it separately from flower.
Too much cannabis can cause serious unwanted effects, as the CDC’s poisoning page explains. For suspected overconsumption or accidental exposure, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222, and call 911 if someone is unresponsive or has trouble breathing. Store all cannabis locked away from children and pets; the DCC’s responsible-use page has more.
How strong is Ice Cream Cake, and where to find it
Hype calls it potent, but there is no single THC figure: every batch is tested, and the DCC flower-label checklist shows what every California jar must tell you, including that batch’s cannabinoid content.
On November 5, 2026, Hype Cannabis Co.’s Ice Cream Cake cured resin all-in-one vape is in all six of our California stores (Alessandro, Pigeon Pass, Redding, Sacramento, Stockton and Ukiah). Ukiah also has an Almora Farm Ice Cream Cake live resin all-in-one, and our Portland 49th Ave store has Ice Cream Cake flower from Herbal Dynamics. Check your store’s menu, since stock changes daily.
