Top 10 Expensive Dessert In The World: # 4 The Sultan’s Golden Cake

The Sultan’s Golden Cake is selling for US$1,000 at the Ciragan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul. It takes 72 hours to make this edible brick of gold, available by special request for, say, weddings, parties or a Sultan’s snack. Spiked with apricots, pears, quince and figs that have been marinating in Jamaican rum for two years, and flavored with shaved caramelized black truffles, this 24-carat gold leaf-covered cake is presented in a sterling silver handcrafted cake box with a golden seal.
