It’s always nice to have a flavorsome meal followed by a perfect dessert to end the night. We love many delicious desserts like ice cream, pie, cake and pudding, and some of us wouldn’t mind eating these anytime of the day either. However, at times we worry about what these sweets does to our dental health and how that adds up to bills but we rarely, if ever, worry about the cost of the dessert itself, right? Unless of course it cost thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars. Don’t laugh just yet because there really are desserts for that price! Here are the most expensive desserts in the world.
Most Expensive Desserts
1. Diamond Fruit Cake | $1.6 Million

The price on this expensive dessert alone could make your jaw drop. For many of us, spending that much money on a fruit cake is plain crazy but wouldn’t it be just the talk of town, if you were daring enough to dish out $1.6 million on a cake for next Christmas? A pastry chef in Tokyo had decided to put this price tag on his diamond fruit cake. The chef took about 6 months to design the cake and a month to finish it with 223 small diamonds on the exterior of the cake. Besides the diamonds, the rest of the cake is edible. All the gentleman out there, for some ladies this could be the best gift ever :)
2. Strawberries Arnaud | $1.4 Million

We all heard of the saying ‘things are not always what they seem’. That sure applies to Strawberries Arnaud. If you happen to wander into New Orleans’ French Quarter, you will see a bowl of strawberries topped with cream and mint. For some reason the price tag says $1.4 million. Well, look a bit harder and you will find one of a kind 4.7 carat pink diamond ring, which belonged to Sir Ernest Cassel who was a royal finance adviser. So for that price, not only you get delicious strawberries but a nice ring too. What’s more, this expensive dessert comes with wine, which is served in a wine set worth $24,850. You will also get to enjoy live jazz music while enjoying your Strawberries Arnaud. Come to think of it, who would eat a $1.4 million dessert without music in the background, right?
