Cakes are one of nature's gifts to humans because they provide a variety of options for everyone. Whether you have allergies or not, there's a cake for everyone, and some of them are among the most expensive you'll ever see. We recognise that the more creative the cake, the more it costs. What we bring you today is the list of the world's most expensive cakes that astounds us.
Nobue Ikara’s Platinum Cake
Nobue Ikara, a Japanese pastry chef, created this magnificent golden cake in 2007. It was displayed by the Platinum Guild International, a business that attempted to encourage consumers to buy platinum jewellery. The fondant cake's foundation flavour is unknown, but it is worth more than $130,000 and is adorned with exquisite platinum gems, necklaces, and pins. The addition of edible platinum flakes to this traditional fondant and frosting cake increased the price. This gorgeous dessert was presented to several Japanese ladies, including model Chie Kumasawa and actor Rinko Kikuchi.
The cake's positive aspect is that it was created to promote women's empowerment and proved to be a successful brand promotion.
Masami Miyamoto’s Diamond Chocolate Cake
The cake is adorned with 100 diamonds weighing a total of 50 carats. It is inspired by a tree with beautiful fruits on its branches. The cake was created for marketing purposes in order to attract visitors who were shopping for Christmas at a mall. It can be seen on exhibit at the Takashimaya department store in Osaka, Japan's westernmost city.
Devorah Rose Diamond Gala Cake
For one of her many expensive events, Devorah Rose, the editor-in-chief of Social Life Magazine, paid $30 million for this dish. The Diamond Gala cake was designed by The Cake Boss (a reality show). Devorah Rose called the show's creator, demanding that a $30 million cake be made for her. Buddy and his team then worked together to create this gorgeous cake, which is worth $30 million in diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires.
Pirates Fantasy Cake
In 2012, this cake set the record for the most expensive cake, and it is still on the list today. Chef Dimuthu Kumarasinghe fashioned this dish in the shape of a pirate ship. The cake has been draped with beautiful jewels such as brooches, rings, and necklaces.
The edible section of the cake is made up of ten layers, each of which has a different flavour, such as pumpkin, zucchini, or coconut meringue.
Runaway Cake
This is the most expensive dessert ever. This record was set by a person in the United Arab Emirates who had no knowledge when he bought the cake that it would break all records. When they came across this wonderful cake, he was simply seeking something new for his daughter's birthday. Debbie Wingham, a cake designer, was permanently changed when she received a request for this confection.
The six-foot-long cake is designed to look like a fashion runway, complete with edible models dressed in fashionable attire and accessories.
It has a total of 4000 diamonds, including Pink, Yellow, Black, and White diamonds. When gemstones were added, such as multicoloured diamonds worth $45 million, the price skyrocketed.
This $75 million cake has been branded the most costly cake in the world.
