Resort Charges $14,500 for Dessert

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, a resort is charging $14,500 for the world’s most expensive dessert. It is called “The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence” and it is a gold leaf Italian cassata flavored with Irish cream. It is served with a mango and pomegranate compote and champagne sabayon enlighten. It is also decorated with a chocolate carving of a fisherman that is clinging to a stilt and an 80 carat aquamarine stone.

The dessert has to be specially ordered and even though the resort has gotten many calls about it, nobody has paid money to buy it.
