Watch The Birth Of The World's Most Expensive Dessert

Wait, it still needs a diamond

Once upon a time, the most expensive dessert in the world was right here in New York. But now the Brits have gone and put Serendipity 3's $25,000 Haute Chocolate to shame with this $35,000 monstrosity that doesn't even have a name. But why should something so rarefied and elegant be shackled by something so vulgar as a name?

This...thing...is made of:

  • "Many high quality chocolate from all different continents," though last we checked they weren't including the cost of airfare in the dish
  • Edible gold, which you can conveniently pick up at Sur La Table for at-home fun!
  • Champagne caviar, essentially a science experiment gone horribly awry
  • A two-carat diamond, which will slice your gums up when you chew it
  • Champagne jelly, the runny leftovers from the aforementioned failed caviar science experiment
  • Biscuit joconde, which is—fun fact!—named after the Mona Lisa

And then it's all dumped into an orb supposedly modeled after a Faberge egg. As of right now, it still technically needs a buyer to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records. And whoever decides to drop $35K on this gets the added bonus of seeing their name in the Guinness Book of World Assholes!

    Exactly.
    Emphasis on the shits.
    Because the 1% has horrible constipation.

     All gold is "edible".  Nothing says luxury like crapping gold.

    That's going to straight to Kim Kardashian's ass.
