A Cupcake Which Costs US$750





Located in Las Vegas, The Palazzo’s most expensive creation is easily the US$750 Decadence D'Or cupcake.



True to its name, this cupcake is made out of Palmira Single Estate chocolate, which was developed by Valrhona, the French luxury chocolatier.



The frosting is made with Charentes-Poitou AOC butter from an established French butter cooperative, and contains Tahitian Gold vanilla caviar which is hand-pollinated and harvested.



The cupcake is topped up with a little Louis XIII de Remy Martin Cognac, and is molded into a hand-blown fleur-de-lis.



What makes this cupcake a truly luxurious treat are the edible gold flakes sprinkled on top.



What do you think—is this sweet treat worth the price, or would you rather have a regular cupcake instead?
