The Dahlia 'Cherry Cake' produces an attractive plant with tall stems and abundant, leafy, bushy leaves. The flowers of this plant are a striking shade of cherry pink, with a subtle hint of golden yellow in the center of each blossom. This specific dahlia is classified as a decorative cactus dahlia, known for its larger, double-petaled flowers that have slightly thinner petals compared to a typical decorative dahlia.
