Cakes with exquisite taste

Cakes are relished by one and all but here we have listed some examples that very few of us can allow.

Cupcake Gourmet, a Philadelphia-based cupcake store had made the Sparkling Red Velvet Cupcake for the Valentine’s Day. It is a traditional cupcake with an eight-carat engagement ring from Warwick Jewelers in the frosting. $55.000

 

Called the Golden Phoenix, the cupcake is made with an extensive use of 23 carat edible gold sheets. It is special creation to celebrate the opening of the cupcake franchise Bloomsbury’s in the Dubai Mall. $1.000

Commissioned by Swarovski. This amazing wedding cake has six tiers and in the centre a gorgeous floral pomander ball centerpiece. The delicate blooms are carefully garnished with genuine Swarovski crystals. Over 50,000 individual Swarovski crystals were used, including inside the sugar flowers. Designed by Ron Ben-Israel

The Brownie Extraordinaire is sold at Brulee, a restaurant in the Tropicana Resort located in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It’s made out of dark chocolate that is then covered with Italian hazelnuts and served with a scoop of ice cream. Along with the sweet dessert, customers are also given a very expensive port wine, Quinta do Novel Nicional, from Portugal. $1.000
