World’s Most Luxurious Desserts

As seen on this LikeMe Daily post, here is a list of ridiculously expensive desserts. Never before have sugar, diamonds, cream and gold mixed so well together!




Strawberries ArnaudThis is no normal plate of strawberries, ladies. The berries are marinated in a wicked expensive port, served with fresh mint and cream and are garnished with a 5-carat pink-diamond ring.







The Sultan’s Golden CakeIf you’re thinking about taking a romantic trip to Istanbul stop by the Ciragan Palace and indulge in delicious rum, caramelized black truffles and gold, real edible gold, dessert.





The Madeleine TruffleThis $250 truffle isn’t expensive because it’s made of gold or has diamond chunks in it; this lofty price tag is all about the labour. Apparently, the ganache is whipped by hand until it’s as smooth as your nana’s hands. Plus, the poor little old chocolate maker has to make the stuff in an ultra cold refrigerated room.








Chocolate VariationStopping by Italy? Shoot your heavy pockets into Mezzaluna and sample the scrumptious chocolate dessert that has been ranked one of the most expensive desserts in the world — $640. It’s made with champagne sorbet (made from Roederer Cristal) and, of course edible golden leaves.






The Brownie ExtraordinaireThe fact that this $1,000 brownie is in Jersey still makes me giggle. I guess they’re trying to class up the joint by throwing in Italian hazelnuts, dark chocolate brownies and crystal atomizers so people can squirt port into their greedy, greasy mouths after every bite.
