“During Asia’s 20th largest pharmaceutical exhibition that is better known as Interphex Japan, people were served edible gold structures in coffee. The idea came from the very fact that edible gold has the power to rejuvenate human body. Why not, gold can rejuvenate anyone especially when served like this.”

As long as there are diamond encrusted ice cream cones and edible gold ice cream sundaes, why shouldn’t there be a diamond studded wedding cake. One that requires around the clock body guards - a trifling expense surely.
Presented at Luxury Brands Bridal Show on Rodeo Drive, this $20 million wedding cake, a collaboration between a cake designer and jewelry designer is said to be the world’s most expensive wedding cake and is, by the way, not meant to be eaten.
For those brides who want their wedding to sparkle, you can find a feast of delicious, if not edible, bridal jewelry in our online auction.

King Midas may have experienced something like this when his unenviable curse of the Midas touch turned his food into inedible gold. Serendipity in New York could have eased his hunger pains with this very edible $1000 gold drizzled dessert.
“Start with 5 scoops of premium vanilla ice cream made from Tahitian Vanilla beans and Madagascar Vanilla and cover them in 23k edible gold leaf. Drizzle the whole affair with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana and chunks of rare Chuao Chocolate. Then suffuse the sundae with Parisian candied fruit, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. Place a tiny bowl of Grand Passion Caviar on top and serve in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18k gold spoon. For the finishing touch, add a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.”
