We have previously featured a cupcake that costs US$750. Now, it appears that Lisa Sanguedolce, the owner of Le Dolci bakery has beaten this record with her US$900 cupcake.
This cupcake was commissioned by a man who wanted to give his wife a personalized one for her birthday. The result is a golden creation sprinkled with diamonds and beer.
This confection is layered with buttercream frosting made with butter from Normandy and cacao chocolate from Tuscan chocolatier Amedei, and its pastry cream filling is flavored with Krug Collection Brut Champagne.
Gold flakes, gold strips and flowers are placed on top, making this treat even more decadent.
The baker also used molecular gastronomy to create caviar bubbles, and a pipette to drizzle 21-year-old Courvoisier cognac on top.
What do you think—isn’t this cupcake too expensive to eat?
