Have Your Bling and Eat it Too!



How about ringing in the New Year with your own $1,000.00 edible "bar of gold" cake? An over the top dessert served at the Kempinski Hotels in Istanbul, Turkey, it takes 72 hours to make the edible brick of gold, which is available by special request for weddings. Spiked with apricots, pears, quince and figs that have been marinating in Jamaican rum for two years (yes, I did say two years), and flavored with shaved caramelized black truffles, this 24-carat gold leaf-covered cake is presented in a sterling silver handcrafted cake box with a golden seal. Now that's having your bling and eating it too!
