London Pound Cake × Sunset Sherbet (indirectly)
London Gas Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid developed by Puppets Genetics, known for its meticulous breeding and sensory profile. This strain combines robust genetics with a complex aroma and flavor, making it a notable creation in the cannabis world.
Appearance
London Gas Cake buds are visually striking, characterized by a dense, compact structure heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance. The buds display a mix of deep green and ebony hues, with occasional purple undertones that can emerge under cooler temperatures. Bright orange pistils contrast with the dark, resinous buds, enhancing the strain's aesthetic appeal and signaling high cannabinoid and terpene concentrations.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of London Gas Cake is a complex blend of sweet, fruity notes with underlying diesel and gas characteristics. Initial inhalation reveals tropical fruit and citrus scents, evolving into a rich, cake-like sweetness upon exhalation, complemented by subtle spicy and earthy undertones. These aromatic qualities are maintained when combusted, offering a satisfying sensory experience.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
London Gas Cake typically exhibits THC levels ranging from 20% to 25%, with some phenotypes reaching up to 28% THC. Dominant terpenes include Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene, contributing to its distinctive aroma and flavor. While CBD content is low, trace amounts are present, potentially contributing to the entourage effect and moderating the impact of high THC.
Growing
London Gas Cake is noted for its genetic stability and resilience, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Growers can expect consistent yields and quality, with buds developing a dense structure and high resin content. The strain's appearance often correlates with its potency and aromatic profile.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Puppets Genetics, London Gas Cake is the result of careful genetic selection and crossbreeding, drawing inspiration from London Pound Cake and other celebrated varieties. The project began in the mid-2010s with the goal of creating a unique indica-dominant hybrid that marries robust genetics with an exceptional sensory profile. It is understood to be a descendant of Sunset Sherbet crossed with an enigmatic indica variety.
