World Most Expensive Dessert Cost $25,000

The most expensive dessert in the world used to be the $14,500 “Fortress Aquamarine” served at a luxury resort in Sri Lanka. But today Sri Lankans can choke on their gilded shame, for the Upper East Side’s Serendipity 3 has put America back on top with a $25,000 triumph called the Frrrozen [sic] Haute Chocolate. Break out your giant diamond-encrusted foam fingers, because the Guinness Book of World Records will now list this as their number one entry!

The dessert blends 28 different cocoas and five grams of edible 24-karat gold, served in a goblet lined with edible gold. It’s consumed as conspicuously as possible with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds and is crowned by an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds. Both the spoon and bracelet are intended for the diner to keep, along with a vastly over-inflated sense of social status. Source

Easter Entices Food Spend

Australians have taken their love of chocolate to a whole new level this Easter as they find solace in comfort foods, the Australian National Retailers Association has advised.

“Retailers are experiencing double digit growth in sales of all things chocolate this year,” ANRA CEO, Margy Osmond, reported. “The talk of rising unemployment and economic doom and gloom, certainly has its effects on people’s morale, and treats like chocolates help provide that much needed boost.”

“Our members are noticing that people are getting in early this Easter and it’s not necessarily because they’re organised. It appears that more chocolate is being eaten before the Easter Bunny even arrives,” Mrs Osmond remarked. “(And) it’s not just the Easter bunny that is popular this year. A cast of characters including Dora the Explorer, Ben10, Hannah Montana, Bob the Builder and My Little Pony will be delivering chocolate treats this Easter.”

Mrs Osmond added that the most prominent products on consumer shopping lists had so far been the Cadbury Creme Egg, Red Tulip solid eggs, Cadbury rabbits, egg crates and the Lindt gold bunny. Source
