Terpenes and cannabis have a truly beautiful relationship. The short version? While it’s the cannabinoids that actually get you high, it’s the terpenes that determine the overall flavor, aroma, and effects. That’s why some strains make you want to clean your entire house, while others make you want to drool on the couch for hours. Terpenes are also what create the Ice Cream Cake flavor that’s both floral and creamy, yet citrus and sweet.
The most dominant isolate in this blend is D-Limonene. Limonene is what gives Ice Cream Cake its citrusy goodness. It should come as no surprise that it’s sweet, sour, and found in fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. It’s one of the most common terpenes in nature and lends Ice Cream Cake effects like mood elevation, energy, and anti-inflammation.

Myrcene is another common isolate, but it’s still a pretty big deal. It’s found in fruits like mangos, but also in spices like cardamom and herbs like parsley and hops. Its flavor is earthy and fruity with notes of clove. As the second dominant isolate, it helps weave together all the various aromatic notes to create the “cake” flavor Ice Cream Cake is known for. Plus, it lends calming and relaxing effects due to its sedative properties.

Linalool, which is normally found in smaller amounts, lends an alluring floral aroma to this blend. On its own, this isolate is reminiscent of roses, oranges, or even apple blossoms. Its powerful sedative qualities are also part of the reason linalool-dense plants are commonly used as sleep aids.
You’ll also find both Alpha-Pinene and Beta-Pinene in this blend, which help elevate the aroma and your senses. These isolates have chemical structures that mirror each other (also known as enantiomers). They’re both found in pine trees, and their scent certainly smells like it. They also give Ice Cream Cake cerebral, creative effects because of their effects on memory. Specifically, alpha-pinene is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
While there are over thirty other isolates that make up this complex blend, these four are the main contributors to its unique flavor, aroma, and effects. Speaking of effects…
Yes, a potent THC isolate will have powerful psychoactive properties. But what about specific effects like relaxation, focus, or even creativity? Those unique effects actually come from terpenes!
The dominant isolates that make up the Ice Cream Cake terpene profile will have a major influence on the overall experience. So, if you love the way this strain makes you feel, you can thank D-Limonene, Myrcene, Linalool, and Pinene.
This Indica-leaning hybrid has sedative and mood-elevating effects that will have you ready to relax and unwind. Users have reported an uplifting rush that helps soften stress. Then, just as you begin to entertain creative thoughts, tense muscles will unwind and a bone-deep relaxation will set in. Once this happens, be prepared for couch-lock and perhaps even a nap.
That being said, we recommend this strain for late afternoon or evening use. It would also be enjoyable after particularly stressful, busy days as a means to unplug and practice mindfulness. Or you could simply enjoy it in the evenings while binging your newest streaming obsession. You do you.
Our botanically sourced Ice Cream Cake terpenes are perfect for both cannabis and non-cannabis products. Obviously, combining this blend with cannabinoids will pump up the effects. However, non-cannabis products needing to promote mind and body relaxation with a mood lift will greatly benefit from this blend.
While it may seem obvious to add Ice Cream Cake terpenes to edibles, we think that...you should totally do that! Sometimes the obvious answer is the right one, and that’s certainly the case here. Whether it’s hard candy and gummies or ACTUAL ice cream, this blend will add phenomenal flavor and sweet effects to any edible.
Conversely, we think the vape industry is seriously sleeping on Ice Cream Cake. Creamy flavors can create sinfully smooth experiences that customers will love. Plus, who says you can’t smoke your dessert?
We’re also imagining game-changing products like Ice Cream Cake infused candles, beverages, personal care products, delta-8 products, and MORE!
