草莓拼盤

2. Strawberries Arnaud $1.4 million

草莓拼盤,140萬美元(約952萬元)

You’ll find a one-of-a-kind 4.7-carat pink diamond among a bowl of strawberries topped with cream and mint. Not only do you get delicious strawberries and a nice ring, the dessert comes with white-glove servers who provide wine out of a wine set worth $24,850, and of course there’s live jazz music。

眼見並不爲實,這句話用在這款草莓拼盤上再合適不過了。這款甜品是在一盆草莓上放點奶油和薄荷葉,但真正的主角是一顆4.7克拉的粉紅色鑽戒! 吃的時候由一位戴着白手套的侍者端上一瓶價值24850美元的紅酒,爵士樂隊還會在旁伴奏。

5. The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence $14,500

The dessert pays special tribute to this pastime by portraying a stilt fishing scene made of delicious ingredients, including chocolate, exoticfruit, and Irish cream. It portrays a fisherman, carved out of chocolate, hanging onto the stilt. Underneath the fisherman is a perfectly placed 80 carat aquamarine. Those who order the dessert get to keep the jewel, but as of now, no one has forked out the money。

食物的擺盤是非常重要的,這款城堡的立釣享樂就很好地體現了這一點。在斯里蘭卡,立釣是一種流行多年的傳統釣魚方式。這款甜品就是用食物來展現這一立釣場面。甜品由巧克力、異域水果和愛爾蘭冰淇淋製成。用巧克力雕繪的漁夫垂坐在高蹺上垂釣,下面放着的是一個80克拉的海藍寶石。點這道甜品的顧客在享用完甜品之後還可以把這顆寶石帶回家,不過目前爲止還沒有人來品嚐。

蛋白杏仁餅乾

6. Macaroons Haute Couture $7,414

蛋白杏仁餅乾,7414美元(約5萬元)

Macaroons aren’t too hard to find in today’s world. They are simply twomeringue puffs that are held together with butter cream. They are most popular in France, and you can usually find them for a reasonable price for such a tasty dessert. However, French pastry chef, Pierre Herme, has cooked up a new and more expensive type of macaroons. The price tag at $7,414 definitely makes these macaroons not as attractive to everyone as the original recipe. Herme says that he offers a large variety of ingredients that have elevated the costs. A customer is able to choose ingredients such as balsamic vinegar, red wine, peanut butter, and anything else you can think of putting between your two meringue puffs。

現在,蛋白杏仁餅乾還是比較常見的,不就是兩塊糕餅,中間夾上奶油一類的東西,這種點心在法國很受歡迎,好吃又便宜。但是法國的糕餅大師Pierre Herme卻製作出了一個新品種的蛋白杏仁餅,價格貴得出奇,標價7,414美元,因此很多人望而卻步。Herme解釋說,他的這種蛋白杏仁餅有多種口味,包括甜醋、紅葡萄酒、花生醬等等,你能想到的,幾乎都有,因此纔開出瞭如此的高價。

It’s made out of dark chocolate that is then covered with Italian hazelnuts and served with a scoop of ice cream. Along with the sweet dessert, customers are also given a very rare and highly expensive port wine, Quinta do Novel Nicional, from Portugal. Although a brownie may not seem like a very lavish dessert, adding the rare glass of wine most definitely spices things up。

這款特製布朗尼是由新澤西州亞特蘭大城推出的。這可不是一款普通的布朗尼蛋糕。黑巧克力外包裹着意大利榛果,再配以一勺冰淇淋。這還不是最特別的,最特別的是顧客可以品嚐到來自葡萄牙諾瓦園的葡萄酒,這種葡萄酒非常昂貴而且稀有。雖然,布朗尼蛋糕似乎並不奢華,但配上了這名酒,就價值不菲了。
