(Reuters) - A day after New York City came up with a $1,000 bagel, a local restaurateur unveiled a $25,000 chocolate sundae on Wednesday, setting a Guinness world record for the most expensive dessert.
Stephen Bruce, owner of Serendipity 3, partnered with luxury jeweler Euphoria New York to create the "Frrozen Haute Chocolate," a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive and exotic from around the globe.
The dessert, spelled with two Rs, is infused with 5 grams (0.2 ounces) of edible 23-karat gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. At the base of the goblet is an 18-karat gold bracelet with 1 carat of white diamonds.
The sundae is topped with whipped cream covered with more gold and a side of La Madeline au Truffle from Knipschildt Chocolatier, which sells for $2,600 a pound.
It is eaten with a gold spoon decorated with white and chocolate-colored diamonds, which can also be taken home.
"It took us a long time to experiment with all the ingredients and flavors, and more than three months were needed just to design the golden spoon," Bruce told Reuters.
Four years ago, Bruce unveiled a $1,000 ice cream sundae called Golden Opulence, a staple on his menu and a favorite with rock stars, socialites and other celebrities.
Both desserts are sold only with advance orders. Bruce said he has received inquiries about his latest creation, mostly from Europeans planning to visit New York.
"I wouldn't be surprised if soon we get a call from a Middle Eastern prince or Shah willing to give something sweet to his many wives on his next trip to the city," Bruce said.
On Tuesday, New York chef Frank Tujague of The Westin New York hotel at Times Square unveiled the $1,000 bagel, topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry infused Riesling jelly with golden leaves. Sales will help raise funds for culinary school scholarships.

Nothing more than the restaurant trying to get publicity , in all probability the place will be closed in two years. Restaurant business is fiercely competitive especially in NYC

Oh yeah you can charge a King's ransom , but those are few and far in between. That's the great thing about a major city an infinite choice on where to eat , I worked in Boston for years and man the choices were limitless

Restaurant industry is definitely highly competitive as you say, but unless they go on a radical expansion plan I don't see Serendipity going anyway anytime soon. Crazy ass lines there anytime I've been in the neighborhood.

I would like to see the asshole who would buy something like this. Send a kid to a semester of college or pay for a relatives's rent for a year. I swear I would do so much good if I were rich.

Just what I was thinking. That joint that was serving the $175 hotdog didn't last long.

Getbiggers crap gold flakes without even eating gold. Their digestive systems automatically make the gold. We are of a different breed.
