A month of sundaes

You may remember my post about the sandwich. Well today’s treat may not be quite as unhealthy for your diet but your wallet is likely to suffer given that this sundae costs $1000 (that’s US$ guys)!! That’s right! Called the Golden Opulence Sundae, it was created by a restaurant in NYC to celebrate their 50th Anniversary (“Golden”).

What goes into a thousand dollar sundae? Well, according to Daily Olive, the sundae is made as follows: 

• 5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla
• covered in 23K edible gold leaf
• drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porcelana
• covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast
• suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan cherries
• topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color
• sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac
• served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon
• served with a petite mother of pearl spoon (I don’t know why 2 spoons)
• topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel

So would anyone actually buy this? Well, apparently this restaurant which is frequented by celebrities has been selling about one of these month. Hmm, the life of the rich…
