The expression "Eat Like a King" should not be interpreted as merely an exaggeration now, because today, some people are eating gold-literally and figuratively. If you think you are spending much on your dessert, think again.
Here are the world's most expensive desserts today. Just a reminder: Please be mindful of your jaws dropping because the following could be ridiculously expensive (and mouth watering at the same time).
The World's Most Expensive Cupcake
Priced at $1,007, the 'Golden Phoenix Cupcake' includes an edible 23-karat Gold Sheet, Italian Cocoa, Ugandan Vanilla Beans to its long list of luxurious ingredients. Don't be surprised if they are using gold flour too. This is sold at Bloombury's in Dubai. Too bad it doesn't reincarnate like a phoenix after you finish devouring it.
The World's Most Expensive Donut
After the donut craze a few years back, everybody thought that spending hundreds of dollars is too much for a bread with a hole on it. But then again, no one ever thought that a thousand-dollar priced donut would exist in our lifetime.
Using the precious and really exquisite 500-year-old Courvoisier de L'Esprit Cognac, along with raspberry and passion fruit syrup topped 2002 Dom Perignon, with edible 24-karat gold leaf and gold dusted Belgian white chocolate "diamonds", the world's most expensive donut can be bought at $1,682 per piece. Yes, a bread with a hole in it that costs almost two thousand dollars exist.
The World's Most Expensive Ice Cream
Move over, people who were born with a silver spoon on their mouths! This particular ice cream comes with a gold spoon.

It's price? A million dollars. Seriously, it's $1.7M to be exact. It was designed and created by a Japanese pastry chef for six months.
Oh, did we tell you it costs a million bucks?

A world renowned designer of the world's most expensive dress (costs $17.7M) deserves nothing more than the world's most expensive cake for her daughter's birthday and engagement party.
