Very Rich Dessert - How rich? $14,500.00

A restaurant in Sri Lanka is charging $14,500 for a dessert. It has gold in it but what really elevates the price tag is the 80 million carat Aquamarine Stone inside of the desert. The dessert is a gold leaf Italian cassata flavored with Irish cream, served with a mango and pomegranate compote and a champagne sabayon enlighten. The dessert is decorated with a chocolate carving of a fisherman clinging to a stilt, an age old local fishing practice, and an 80 carat aquamarine stone. The dessert has to be specially ordered, Perera said. Though the hotel has gotten calls about it from as far away as Japan, she said, no one has yet forked over the money to try it.
