Ice Cream Cake
Also known as: ICC
Breeder: Seed Junky Genetics (JBeezy)
Ice Cream Cake is renowned for its exceptionally creamy, dessert-forward terpene profile and deeply relaxing physical effects. Its rise is notable for being extract-community-driven — solventless rosin quality built ICC's reputation before mainstream flower sales followed. As a double descendant of the Cookies family (through both Wedding Cake and Gelato), it represents the concentrated refinement of modern dessert genetics.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Wedding Cake x Gelato #33
Wedding Cake (Triangle Kush x Animal Mints, pheno #23) contributes earthy spice, dense structure, and heavy body effects. Gelato #33 (Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC) contributes creamy citrus complexity and purple potential. A separate 'Ice Cream Cake' from Mad Scientist Genetics (Dream Cookie x Cheesecake) is a different cultivar.
Terpene Profile
Caryophyllene — Peppery, spicy warmth; ~0.63%
Limonene — Creamy-sweet vanilla brightness; ~0.63%
Linalool — Floral, lavender-like softness; ~0.45%
Aroma: Sweet vanilla cream, sugary dough, with pungent cheesy/nutty undertone and faint gassy diesel snap.
Flavor: Rich vanilla ice cream on inhale with creamy, buttery dough finish. Subtle peppery spice and gassy diesel on exhale.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Gradual 'warm wave' rather than immediate intensity.
Gentle cerebral euphoria arrives first, creating social ease and light creative clarity. Within 15–30 minutes, the indica body effect takes the lead with deep physical relaxation and strong inclination toward sedation. Widely described as a 'couch-lock' strain at higher doses.
Duration: 2–3 hours
Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Mold susceptibility is the primary risk — exceptionally dense buds retain moisture. Keep RH below 50% in late flower. Heavy feeder with Cal-Mag supplementation needed in coco/hydro. Proper cure is critical — the creamy terpene profile develops significantly during a minimum 2-week cure.
History & Origin
Developed by Seed Junky Genetics in California with phenotype hunting by Tahoe_Nugz and OGLoudest. First gained recognition in West Coast extraction communities around 2017–2018 for exceptional resin production. Became a menu staple across most legal US states by 2020.
