About Funeral Cake
Developed in Prudenville, Michigan, by Uncle Pete and Mr. Seeds, Funeral Cake is a hybrid resulting from a cross between a Strawberry Banana Sherbet male and an Ice Cream Cake female, followed by repeated backcrossing. While the breeders classify the strain as 70% sativa, the experience is noted for its potency and potential for a heavy landing.
The flavor profile is described as a blend of strawberry shortcake, soft earth, and gasoline, with some accounts noting additional layers of creamy banana, vanilla, and a sharp lemon-lime tang. The sweetness of the pastry notes is often balanced by tart fruit and a distinct, earthy finish. Users report a unique combination of mental lift and focus paired with a heavy, couch-locking body sensation. While some accounts describe the effects as happy, sociable, and giggly, the breeder emphasizes its strength, which may lead to a sleepier finish that outlasts evening plans.
Plant characteristics
Funeral Cake is available as feminized seeds with a flowering period of approximately 70 days. The plants are reported to perform well in both indoor and outdoor environments in northern Michigan. A defining botanical characteristic is the deep purple coloration of the flowers, which can reach an intensity that makes the buds appear nearly black. When ground, the flower is said to resemble purple shavings.
