Ice Cream Cake is pure dessert in plant form. Barney’s Farm crossed Gelato #33 with Wedding Cake to create this 70% Indica / 30% Sativa feminized hybrid, rated at around 27% THC, with a sweet, creamy, vanilla-laced profile.
It is as easy to love as it is to grow: compact plants, a quick finish, and dense, frosty buds that smell like a bakery counter.
Indoors, plants reach 90–110 cm (35–43 in) and can produce 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²) in 55–65 days. Outdoors, they grow to 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and can yield 1,500–2,000 g/plant (52.9–70.5 oz/plant).
Lineage: Gelato #33 x Wedding Cake
Gelato #33 contributes its smooth, creamy sweetness and colorful, resin-coated buds, while Wedding Cake adds potency, density and a rich, earthy base. Together they create a strong Indica-leaning hybrid with plenty of bag appeal.
Barney’s Farm reports a terpene profile led by limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene, which explains the mix of sweet, creamy and earthy notes with a light pine undertone.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The aroma is creamy and cheesy, with earthy and nutty tones. It smells like a slice of cheesecake on a walnut crust.
On the palate, sweet cream and vanilla lead, followed by an earthy base that keeps the profile grounded. It is smooth and rich, with a lingering sweetness on the exhale.
The effect begins with a cerebral, happy lift, then settles into a calming, relaxing body feel. At around 27% THC, it is a strong choice for evenings and slow weekends.
Growing Ice Cream Cake Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Ice Cream Cake stays compact at 90–110 cm (35–43 in), ideal for tents. Topping and LST help build an even canopy of thick colas. Flowering takes 55–65 days, with yields of 600–700 g/m² (1.97–2.29 oz/ft²).
Outdoors, plants grow to 150–200 cm (59–79 in) and finish early, in the third to fourth week of September in the Northern Hemisphere. With full sun and steady feeding, expect 1,500–2,000 g/plant (52.9–70.5 oz/plant).
Its dense buds need good airflow and low humidity late in bloom. Thin interior leaves early in flowering and use a carbon filter for the creamy, cheesy smell.
Ice Cream Cake is also a reliable pick for growers who want a short indoor cycle without giving up yield. Its compact Indica frame keeps internodes tight, so a single topping and a few weeks of LST in vegetative growth are usually enough to build a flat canopy of thick, frosty colas. Feed steadily through mid-bloom, ease off in the final week, and let the creamy terpene profile develop with a slow dry and cure.
