Usually a sativa gal, but was looking for a more relaxing strain to help ease some body tension without getting couch locked. Let me tell you: this is it. Well, at least for me it is. As aforementioned, I usually will reach for a solid sativa as I am typically medicating in hopes of achieving a mood boost, creativity, and/or anxiety relief while still being able to both function and focus. While they usually deliver on one or more of these fronts, sativas do, of course, tend to exacerbate my anxiety from time to time. Due to this, I've been on an endless search for a balanced hybrid that nont only retains all of the qualities of my beloved sativas, but also offers more in the way of full-body relaxation and better anxiety-relief. Finally, after months of searching, I think I may have just stumbled onto a strain that actually hits all the marks. I purchased a live resin cart of this on a whim and I am so glad I did. After a few moderate hits, a wave of deep relaxation washed over me and I could feel the tingly warmth of the body high as it rushed down into my toes. Within a few minutes, I noticed that my mood was starting to brighten up and all of the stress from work was starting to melt away. I felt a sort peace/contentment that I haven't felt in a long while; but at the same time, I was fully alert and could easily go knck out some work if I so pleased. It is a very versatile strain and despite being listed as an indica dominant hybrid, this feels much more like one of the rare, truly balanced hybrids out there. I can see this being a great anxiety/stress relief strain for when you need to focus during the daytime just as much as it can be a relaxing, chill-out-after-work treat. With that being said, I didn't feel much in the way of sociability personally, but that is honestly not usually a drawback for me as I typically medicate alone or in task-oriented situations. Don't get me wrong, the high isn't an anti-social high by any means and I can see it possibly helping those with social anxiety...it just wouldn't be my first choice if I was going out for a more lively evening with friends. Another thing I love about this strain is it's mildness (and I mean that in the best way). The high is very mellow and builds slowly, but smoothly. In other words, it feels like it would be very haed to "overdo it" it with this strain. This is excellent forindividuals (like me) who like to maintain a consistent, yet manageable high. However, I would imagine that this strain may not be as satisfying for those who like to get fully wrecked after a couple hits. Long story short: if you are someone who medicates to relieve anxiety/stress and are looking for a very pleasant, relaxing hybrid that won't glue you to your chair, definitely give Cake & Chem a try! If you are looking for a trip to another planet or something that will get you amped for a night of partying, this probably isn't your strain.

UPDATED REVIEW: Been here 4 times, with each time getting increasingly worse. Yesterday, I drove 60 mi round trip to Beyond Hello to wait 2 hours in the sun with no shade to pick up a product that I never received. Order placed at 10 am for a 1-2p pickup, but was growing concerned by noon as I still hadn't received my confirmation text. Figured they must be running behind and the text would arrive eventually, I set out and arrived at 12:45...only to find 50+ angry online order customers in the same situation, including those with pickup times as early as 11a.m. After 40 mins of waiting with no communication from the employees who briefly pop out only to tell us they are working as fast as they can and to please wait patiently, so we do. As we wait, with our line not even budging, we watch as the walk-in line is repeatedly shuttled through. As they exit, they tell us things like "everything inside is a total clusterf*ck due to a series of bad decisions", "just to warn you, I waited 3 hours for a pickup", and then the dreaded "they already sold out of a lot of things". Understandably, we all start growing concerned because we wonder how/why they are selling product to walk-ins if the still haven't filled our pick-up orders. Surely, they would prioritize pickups and not sell product already claimed...but if our orders are filled, why can't we come in to pick it up? At this point, it's been 2 hours since I've arrived and 45 mins past my pickup window. Meanwhile, we still have no idea exactly what the issue is nor have been given even a rough estimate on how long the wait may be. Many of us trying calling, myself included, but once again, no one to answer phones. Employees only briefly pop out to yell at the massive crown huddling together under the awning simply to get some shade and to maintain 6 feet of distance, which was simply impossible due to the number of people and the fact that employees make no effort to come relay info to anyone past the first 10-12 people in line who can actually hear then. I start seeing customers walk around to the front (I assume to seek out info) and then angrily storm off, so I run up to the first security guard I see in hopes of getting answers. I ask him if there is a chance that the products we ordered will be sold out by the time we get in and he says, "Yes and they are already low on many items." I tell him I have to leave, but ask if I can come back for my order later tonigh when the text message comes through and he tells me, "You can if you get it, but it may not come through." Angry and now rockin' a great sunburn, I decide to leave with the others as we all vow to never come here again. Customers understand that everything is going to be slower/less convenient due to the pandemic, but the issues I witnessed yesterday cannot be blamed on that. The problem here is mismanagement, poor communication, and greed. If you don't have sufficent resources (employees, product, space) to facilitate pickups and walk-ins, then don't offer both. People place online orders for convenience and speed, but each time I've been here, it's never taken less than 45 mins of waiting in the sun (or rain) just to get to the cashier. Most importantly, online orders should be prioritized over walk-ins and selling claimed product before filling orders is simply unacceptable. If this wasn't the case, why couldn't we pick up our orders if they had already been set aside? It's clear this company has decided to focus on simply fitting as many sales into the day as possible rather than customer satisfaction. Otherwise they would hire someone to actually answer their phones (have never gotten through), communicate to customers if product sells out, & find a way to shield them from the elements if they are waiting 2+ hours. Been to dozens of dispensaries and have never had issues like this.
