7. The Golden Phoenix Cupcake ($1,000)

For the price of $1,000, you get to experience an indulgence in this tasty dessert called The Golden Phoenix. This cupcake can be obtained at a small bakery shop, Bloomsbury in the Dubai Mall. Why is it so expensive one might ask?

This is due to the ingredients found in this dessert which mainly consist of vanilla from Uganda, chocolate from Italy, and strawberry that is covered in gold. In fact, the icing itself is sprinkled with an extra touch of gold.

This small bakery shop also offers some unique utensils as you enjoy this unique dessert whilst using a golden spoon. However, the spoon is not yours to take though.

6. Krispy Kreme's Luxe Doughnut ($1,685)

For those who simply like Donut, then this should be something worth trying. In 2014, Krispy Kreme released a classic donut with a huge price tag of $1,685 for the purpose of collecting funds for the Children's Trust.

What made this donut so special and worth the money will be that it is covered in 24-karat gold leaf including several pieces of diamonds to go with it. The donut is decorated with chained white chocolate and stuffed with the finest Dom Perignon jelly.

This dessert also comes with a 2002 Dom Perignon cocktail, Courvoisier Cognac with passion fruit and raspberry syrup. However, this is one of a kind event and it can no longer be purchased at Krispy Kreme.

5. Frrrozen Haute Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae ($25,000)

Going into the 5-figure range will be the Frrrozen Haute Chocolate Ice Cream Sundae that is served at the Serendipity 3 restaurant in New York City. It dethroned the Golden Opulence Sundae and obtained the spot in the Guinness Book of Word Records for the hefty price of $25,000.

Its overwhelming price is due to the 5g 23-karat gold used in the dessert and perfected with the La Madeline truffle worth $250. To best enjoy this dessert, you will be given a golden spoon and an 18-karat golden bracelet with a 1-carat white diamond.

There will also be a golden crown to make you feel like royalty while eating it. You will need to make a booking first due to the limited source of French truffles with the cocoas being obtained from various parts of the globe.

The gold used in the dessert is imported from Switzerland and the restaurant needs some time to fully prepare this dessert to the customer's satisfaction.

4. The Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel Chocolate Pudding ($35,000)

You can usually get your regular puddings at the low cost of $2 in the supermarket. However, if you want to experience this English chocolate pudding, then you have to prepare $35,000 to make the purchase.

This cake is recognized as the most expensive cake in the world and is decorated with 223 pieces of 170-carat diamonds. However, this cake is not meant to be eaten and only for the eyes to see so worry not about eating the diamonds.
