Forbidden Fruit Cake strain guide
Forbidden Fruit Cake is an indica-leaning hybrid of Forbidden Fruit and Wedding Cake. People know it for a sweet berry and cherry smell with a cakey, spicy side and a relaxed, body-heavy feel.
Where does Forbidden Fruit Cake come from?
Forbidden Fruit Cake is a cross of Forbidden Fruit, known for its tropical, cherry-like fruit, and Wedding Cake, the sweet, doughy strain from the Cookies family tree. Two strain databases both list that same pairing.
Who made it is not well documented, and neither source names a breeder. Both describe it as leaning indica, at roughly 70% indica.
What does Forbidden Fruit Cake smell and taste like?
Expect sweet berry and cherry up front, with citrus and tropical fruit behind it. The Wedding Cake side adds a vanilla, cake-like sweetness, and many people notice a hint of spice, sometimes described as cinnamon, plus an earthy, dank base.
Limonene is usually listed as its top terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. Limonene fits the bright citrus, caryophyllene the spicy edge and myrcene the earthy depth.
Forbidden Fruit Cake effects: what people report
People often describe a happy, euphoric start that settles into a heavy, relaxed body feel, and sleepy comes up a lot. One reviewer put it simply: not very heady, but strongly relaxing.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the batch, how much you have and your tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints.
How strong is Forbidden Fruit Cake?
Forbidden Fruit Cake is a high-THC strain. Published listings put it roughly between 22% and 28% THC, with very little CBD.
Start with a small amount if it's new to you and give it time. The numbers on your product's label are more reliable than the strain name, and our label guide walks through them.
Buying Forbidden Fruit Cake in Canada
Don't mix it up with plain Forbidden Fruit or Wedding Cake, which are separate strains. Read the label to confirm the name and check the THC and CBD numbers for that batch.
If you find it, it may come as dried flower, pre-rolls or concentrates. A recent packaging date helps the berry smell come through.
