How Much Would You Pay for Dessert? $14,500?
There's a lot I would do for the perfect Creme Brulee. You see, I'm a bit of a dessert fiend and it's certainly my all-time favourite. In fact, I ate more than my share at the last wedding I photographed. But I digress. What's the most you would pay for a dessert? $5? $10? $25? $100? How about $14,500? That sounds a bit excessive, but that's what the most expensive dessert in the world recently is valued at in at a luxury hotel in Sri Lanka.  If you've got $14,500 to spend on dessert, why not consider a stay in a $30,000 hotel room, a luxury wildlife tour, or some chill-out time in a luxury holiday inn. |
Ok, so fancy jewel aside, the dessert still costs $500. Which is a little too rich for my tastes -- and others must agree, since no one has ordered it yet.

To pay that much money for something that's going in one way and coming out the other is utterly riduculous! However, I know of a dessert in Chicago that tastes like it's worth a million bucks, but only costs a few dollars! Check this website out!!!

If you can afford 14 1/2 large for dessert, a down payment on a car probably isn't an issue!

ok, i'm pretty sure you can't make dessert better than that, i'm sure it tastes divine, no i'm not saying its worth 500 bucks but be realistic, come on. if you can make one better why aren't you the chef of the restaurant? and the thing you're really paying for is the jewel in the middle which would be a really awesome like anniversary gift or something if you had the means, and once you pay that much what's an extra 500. this is a case of if you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it. its meant for the super rich, but just because you can't afford it gives you no call to downplay it. it has its place.

I can't imagine something so stupid! I have to decide between buying gas for my car, getting groceries or buying my medicine. I could pay off all of my medical bills and put a down payment on a decent car with that money. I am tired of struggling and working hard for nothing. I'm a great cook & baker and can make any dessert better than that!
