Desserts are meant to sweeten your mouth, but are they also meant to empty out your pockets?

Strawberries Arnaud

The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence
Price: $ 14,500
The age-old tradition of stilt-fishing, carried out by Sri Lanka’s fishermen, is showcased in this marvelous dessert. This delicacy features an aquamarine gem placed on a hand-made chocolate fisherman’s stilt, apart from the real dessert, which is a mix of many exotic fruits. The dessert is served in a hand-made glass utensil whose price is not included. This dessert was created and debuted at the Wine3 Fisherman Stilt Restaurant, Sri Lanka.

Macaroons Haute Couture
Price: $ 7,414 onwards
Macaroons – a layer of butter cream sandwiched between two meringue puffs – are as popular in France as chocolate chip cookies are in the US. Pastry chef Pierre Hermé has created a new type of macaroons that may not be as popular as the ordinary ones, mainly because of the expensive new price tag. Starting from $7,414, these tasty macaroons feature a variety of ingredients sandwiched between puffs made from chef Hermé’s special ingredients like “fleur de sel” and balsamic vinegar. The fillings range from peanut butter to chocolate with red wine, and the best part is that you can decide what to put in your macaroon. Of course, there are caveats as not all flavors go together.
Price: $ 1.4 million
Just like his other creations, Arnaud Casbarian has used such an extremely exquisite array of ingredients in this dish that it has become quite legendary. This amazing dessert features strawberries marinated in the finest port, served with fresh mint and cream. What really adds to the bill here is the additional 5 carat pink-diamond ring, once belonging to the British financier Sir Ernest Cassel, which is “served” fresh with the strawberries.

That is what I would love…

Even if I were wealthy with cash, I would never spend that much on a dessert. I feel guilty ordering cheesecake or tirmisu after a fine dine in the local Italian Restaraunt “Gino’s”. Your images are so delictable though. Makes me hungry just looking at these beautiful delicacies. Great article on “Deserts For The Rich And Famous”, LOL. Really a nice article. Thanks for sharing these tasty tid bits.

I wonder if the people that have eaten this desert are tossing and turning regreting the amount of money they spent. Thanks for sharing.
