Just Desserts: Celebrities Get Served

by Paul on September 9th, 2007

Forbes has a lovely pictorial spread on the world’s most expensive desserts. All the concoctions are remarkable in one sense or the other, starting with the $14,500 Fortress Aquamarine, served at the Wine3 in Sri Lanka.

Why so pricey? Aside from some chocolate, the dessert features an 80 carat sapphire, which presumably few would actually choose to eat.

Please abuse your sensibilities with the Forbes post, but stop for a moment to think about these potential additions to the list:

  • Vick Chocolate Flambé Raspberry Hound Tart. Precious glazed canine figurine filled with blood-red compote. Cost: $35 million. Most of the cost is in the $35 million in bonus money torched to prepare the confection. Extra service charge may apply if served by Oprah.
  • Larry Craig’s Chocolate-Dipped Urinal Cake. Meticulously prepared according to the recipe in American Psycho. Cost: your career, any hope of every being respected.
  • Britney Spears Baked Underwear Surprise. Decoy dessert comes with DARPA-designed specialty panties made with flypaper technology–once donned, they can only removed with the assistance of a Hazmat team. Cost: $27 million, but the blind guy who first detected Spears’ underwear absence has started a foundation to pay the costs. Also available in Vanessa Hudgens-sized serving.
  • Bin Laden Surprise: Designed to look like a candied penis enlarger, the terrorist bait is actually made of C-4 and features express delivery via smart bomb. Available in individual and party servings. Cost: whatever it takes.
