Sativa 50/50 — THC 14–20% — CBD 0–1%

Mango Cake, bred by GOOD BUDS, is an exotic dessert hybrid created by crossing their signature Mango Taffie (LA Affie × Hawaiian) with the iconic Wedding Cake, producing a rich, fruit-forward cultivar with unmistakable island sweetness and bakery-fresh depth. This strain leads with ripe, juicy mango before unfolding into layers of sweet vanilla frosting and a creamy cake-dough mouthfeel, finishing with a subtle gassy afterburn that adds complexity to every exhale.

Mango Cake is also notable for its elevated CBGa content, often exceeding 2% in flower form, enhancing both its therapeutic potential and resin quality. Dominated by vibrant terpenes like Terpinolene (22%), Ocimene (15%), Myrcene (11%), Sabinene Hydrate (6%), and Caryophyllene (5%), this cultivar delivers a tropical, sweet, and slightly spicy aromatic profile that stands out in any lineup.
