World’s most expensive cupcake is coated in edible 23 carat gold sheets

With an aim to redefine the cupcakes in the Gulf, by baking cupcakes that tastes as good as it looks, Bloomsbury’s, a boutique cafe has now unveiled what is described as the world’s most expensive ‘edible’ cupcake, The Golden Phoenix, at the official opening of its new franchise at The Dubai Mall in Dubai. Taking more of a realistic approach, Bloomsbury’s presented this expensive edible cupcake using the real meaning of the words ‘let them eat cake’, rather than encrusting it with diamonds to make it ultra-expensive and not eatable. However, falling in the expensive category, we have earlier seen cupcakes like the Mervis Fantasy Diamond cupcake festooned with eight ideal cut round brilliant diamonds, the sparkling red velvet cupcake for the Valentine’s Day, and the world’s most expensive cupcake, which was especially crafted to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Since1910’s jewelry store.

The baker’s actually rolled out the The Golden Phoenix on an exquisite Italian, Villari gold-plated 24-carat Maria Antoinette princess tea trolley and presented on 24-carat gold painted Empire Morning Cake Stand with Cloch. Interestingly, the unveiling of The Golden Phoenix presentation exceeded a total of $28,000.
