World's Most Expensive Dessert

The hotel Fortress Sri Lanka has the world's most expensive dessert, coming in at $14,500. It is called the "The Fortress Stilt Fisherman Ingulgence." The tax alone on that ($725 assuming a 5% tax rate) would probably cause most people to choke. Here is a description:

"A combination of a gold leaf Italian kasata, flavoured with Irish cream and served with a mango and pomegranate compote and a bubbly-based sabayon enlighten, forms the mouthwatering base of this delicious desert, however, the finishing touch is the 80-carat aquamarine stone nestled on the handmade chocolate stilt fisherman."
