Top 10 Expensive Dessert In The World: # 8 King-size Imperial Torte

The King-size Imperial Torte is selling for US$57 at the Hotel Imperial, Vienna. Legend has it that this chocolate-glazed cake was first created in honor of Emperor Franz Josef I to coincide with the hotel’s opening in 1873. Comprised of almond, marzipan and cocoa crème under a milk-chocolate glaze, this handmade cake (which comes in a sugar-free version, too) is presented in a fanciful wooden box and shipped to Ottoman lovers all over the world.
